As a Green Beret, I learned that leadership isn't about titles. It's about service, accountability, and putting the mission first.
Today, the mission is Florida: keeping our state safe, affordable, and free for the next generation.
That's what I'm fighting for every day.
🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT
Lakeland Commissioner and Mayor Pro Tem Guy LaLonde, Jr. endorses @JayCollinsFL.
“As Governor DeSantis’ choice for Lt. Governor, Jay is the candidate I know we can count on to keep Florida prosperous.”
Thank you to Surfside Mayor @ShlomoDanzinger for your endorsement.
I appreciate your support and your years of service to the residents of your community.
I look forward to continuing conversations about the issues facing communities across Florida and working together to keep our state strong.
Want lower food prices?
Start by protecting the farmers who grow our food.
Florida agriculture is more than an industry. It's part of our economic security.
I'm committed to protecting farmland, supporting local producers, and ensuring the next generation of Florida farmers has a future right here at home.
If Byron Donalds believes he's the best choice for Florida, why won't he debate?
I've already accepted.
Any stage. Any moderator. Any time.
Now we're waiting on Byron.

No standards were set and announced. In previous cycles this all occurred in July. For example, in a congressional debate, it was 5% in polls and $100,000. Candidates were notified of the standard well in advance, and then mid July informed of who qualified.
I've made my position clear: I'll debate Byron Donalds anytime, anywhere, on any stage.
The question is simple: Will he?
Floridians deserve to hear where the candidates stand on the issues that affect their families every day. Property taxes. Insurance costs. Growth. Public safety. Education. The economy.
If Byron is ready to lead Florida, he should be ready to defend his record and his ideas in front of the voters.

We want a public debate in Florida before the Republican primary. This should not be a difficult ask. Open debate, transparency, and accountability are literally the most basic expectations of a fair and transparent election process.
The party's refusal to hold a debate raises a simple question. Why are they unwilling to give voters the opportunity to hear directly from the candidates?
Let the candidates debate.
Let the voters decide.
You have one job, do it!
Jay Collins is calling out Byron Donalds: any stage, any moderator, any time. Stop ducking and debate. #CollinsVsDonalds #DebateDonalds https://t.co/fnswPNHKzN
You don’t have to wear a uniform to serve your country.
Great parents serve.
Great teachers serve.
Great coaches serve.
Great first responders serve.
Great community leaders serve.
A strong nation is built by people willing to put others before themselves. That mindset still matters here in Florida.
Today, we gathered to remember the lives lost on September 11th. I’m grateful to stand with the @Tunnel2Towers to honor those heroes by carrying a piece of World Trade Center steel across America.
We remember the victims, the first responders, the service members, and the families forever changed by 9/11.
May we never forget the courage, unity, and resilience that carried this nation forward.
