Thank you Governor @RonDeSantis for the opportunity and the trust you have placed in me.
I won't let the students, faculty, and most importantly the taxpayers of Gilchrist County down.

Paul Renner is the only one looking out for Floridians.
Everyone else will sell our state out to the AI overlords and allow hyperscale data centers to destroy our state, and ultimately our society
In a recent interview, Saga Stevin of Floridian Future interviewed Tammy K. Clark and Kristen Meghan Kelly, two environmental health and safety experts, to discuss the serious concerns surrounding AI data centers and their environmental and public health impacts.
Tammy K. Clark, now a full-time Florida resident, made a strong endorsement of me, knowing that I was the first candidate to call for a moratorium on AI data centers in Florida back in February, and that I take a hard-line, principled NO approach to AI data centers in Florida.
I stand in stark contrast to Byron Donalds, who is fully behind the unchecked expansion of these AI data centers and backed by big-money special interests. He is actively promoting Florida as a playground for Big Tech and their data centers.
And Collins’ legislative record speaks for itself: SB 1264 was sponsored by Collins and included removing the sunset provision on data-center tax exemptions, further incentivizing the very industry now threatening Florida’s energy grid, water supply, environment, and public health. It is the same industry that, now that Collins is running for Governor, he pretends to be cautious about in his campaign rhetoric.
Floridians want a principled Governor who will stand up to special interest groups and not cave to donor pressure.
Floridians want a Governor who will protect our land, water, springs, oceans, and natural resources — and NOT sell out to the highest bidder.
I am the only candidate in this race standing up against these special interest groups and fighting to protect Floridians from the environmental and public health risks associated with unchecked AI data center development.
Thank you, Tammy, Kristen, and Saga, for your work to expose environmental toxicity and safeguard Florida’s environment.
This season is going to be a losing season anyway so they might as well have saved the money on Malik's contract and just let Quinn have the opportunity to show if he has what it takes or not. Then you know if you need to draft a quarterback in 2027 or if you have a quarterback and you can build around him
@BasedMikeLee I mean, y'all have dangled that repeal carrot in front of us since that monstrosity was unleashed and nothing has come if it.
We don't have confidence that anything will happen because track record says as much
@TheDrewWelch@JeffreyBrandes We just opened up alcohol sales a few years ago. In a county of 20,000 people that's a lot of booze needed to sell to make it up 🤣🤣
Our county actually lowered millage rates last year and the fact is that rural counties are not the ones wasting a ton of money.
I'm not against cutting/eliminating property taxes. Property taxes are the most evil form of taxation. My only point was that it is not as cut and dry in a rural county that can't raise sales taxes enough to make it up and there isn't any industry to collect extra tangible taxes from and that most workers in these counties work for a government entity. And because of that there is real discussion happening in Tallahassee about consolidating our counties, which will strip us of our identity because in rural areas there is a lot of pride in community that you don't see in urban areas.
He's referring to us in the small, fiscally constrained rural counties. My county has one red light and the three largest employers are the school district, the prison, and the county. We don't have tourism and basically almost non-existent industry outside of agriculture.
The threat to consolidate our counties out here is real.
Using debt to purchase our own debt.
Just keep devaluing that dollar, raising inflation.
This nation is so screwed, we don't have anyone remaining in the federal government who is serious about the looming financial collapse created by two decades of reckless spending.
@DanWetzel@espn However every sports league is tied in with gambling companies. ESPN has gambling ads every commercial break. The problem with players betting on games is only going to get worse.
@zerofoxgiven21 It is financially irresponsible to shop at @Publix anymore.
I only go in for a few things out of convenience, but never for regular shopping.
Today I was at Aldi and got 3 steaks, a bag of potatoes, a loaf of sourdough, and 3 drinks and it was 22.00.
You don't have to be dishonest to support your candidate. Renner's idea of a rollback was only part of his property tax plan. He fully supported elimination of them, but the rollback could bring instant relief today that wouldn't need to go on the ballot while they craft language for a constitutional amendment to eliminate them.
