“When we go for sheriffs’ conferences, you can’t get 60 sheriffs to agree on anything—not even where we’re going to lunch. But 60 of us stand united behind this governor. Sixty of us also understand that we need him to fix the crime problem plaguing our nation,” Sheriff Ivey said.
Citrus County Sheriff Mike Prendergast expressed his support, stating, “When you’ve got a law-and-order president in the White House, it means that everything else good about our country is hitting on all eight cylinders, and the mission is getting done.”
“We need a president that backs up the Constitution. We also need a statesman in Washington, D.C., who takes care of business. Not only for the domestic issues, but also for international issues, where the United States shows itself to be the true leader of every nation in the world, not just the free world, but among all the nations in the world. And Gov. DeSantis as our next president. He’s the guy that’s going to do that for us every single time.”
Gov. DeSantis has proudly embraced the title of the “law and order candidate.” He addressed a passionate crowd in Tampa, highlighting that Florida’s crime levels are at a 50-year low. He also emphasized his actions in removing two state attorneys for their failure to prosecute criminals, including the firing of George Soros-backed Hillsborough County state attorney Andrew Warren.
Furthermore, Gov. DeSantis has taken steps to attract law enforcement officers to Florida. The state now offers a $5,000 signing bonus for new in-state recruits and out-of-state officers looking to relocate. Many officers from cities like Baltimore, New York City, and Chicago have already made the move and expressed satisfaction with their decision.
While celebrating Florida’s success in maintaining law and order, Gov. DeSantis expressed his ambition to bring the Florida model of law enforcement to the national level. He emphasized that regardless of political affiliations, all Americans deserve safety and justice. He concluded, “From sea to shining sea, we’re going to make sure that the rule of law once again prevails in this country.”
Gov. DeSantis will be returning to Iowa from Oct. 7 to Oct. 9 with his PAC “Never Back Down.”
