Ron DeSantis\u2019s (R) office revealed this week.<\/p>\n<p>The governor, who has keenly prioritized personal liberty and parental rights over the last two years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/05\/ron-desantis-republicans-make-history-overtaking-democrats-florida-voter-registration\/\">announced<\/a> in November that the GOP made history, finally overtaking Democrats in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cToday, and it will probably be fully publicized very soon, today for the first time in the history of Florida, we\u2019ve now overtaken Democrats. There are more registered Republicans in Florida than Democrats,\u201d he announced at a press conference in Seminole in November.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, DeSantis noted that Democrats had had an advantage of well over 260,000. According to his office, the figure stood around 263,000, making a net gain of over 300,000 new Republican voters since he took office. His office also provided another startling figure, noting that there are more new Republican voter registrations than Democrat ones in blue Miami-Dade County as well \u2014 426,861 Republicans total to 589,429 Democrats.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no beating around the fact this historic gain is because of Governor Ron DeSantis. Florida voters are appreciative of the palpable sense of freedom he has created in our state,\u201d Helen Aguirre Ferr\u00e9, Executive Director of the Republican Party of Florida, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cOur schools are open, there are no lockdowns, and there are no masks.\u00a0Voters recognize the governor is a champion for families and businesses alike.\u00a0Our voter registration numbers are impressive, but a 363,000 net change? That is unheard of,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans now make up 35.95 percent of registered voters across the state (5,145,878), while Democrats comprise 35.24 percent (5,044,802), and independents follow with 28.80 percent (4,122,902).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In all, that amounts to a 101,076 advantage for Republicans over Democrats, according data from the governor\u2019s office.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Indeed, DeSantis, who came under constant scrutiny from leftist leaders and corporate media outlets for prioritizing freedom over \u201cFaucism,\u201d has been proven right in virtually every area he has been blasted for \u2014 from the Chinese coronavirus to parental rights. For months, Florida <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/11\/26\/florida-reports-lowest-coronavirus-cases-capita-blue-states-surge\/\">reported<\/a> lower coronavirus cases per capita than blue states, which kept draconian restrictions in place. What is more, last year, Florida <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/02\/15\/free-state-of-florida-sunshine-state-sees-highest-level-of-domestic-visitation-in-history\/\">saw<\/a> the highest level of domestic travel in the state\u2019s history \u2014 nearly 118 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFlorida has become the escape hatch for those chafing under authoritarian, arbitrary and seemingly never-ending mandates and restrictions,\u201d DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/26\/florida-continued-job-growth-statewide-unemployment-rate-lower-national-average\/\">said<\/a> during the State of the State address in January, blasting policies that are \u201cgrounded more in blind adherence to Faucian declarations than they are in the constitutional traditions that are the foundation of free nations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019s team recently spoke to a variety of spring breakers in the state, who explained why they were seeking refuge the Sunshine State, as Breitbart News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/23\/blue-state-refugees-explain-why-fled-desantiss-florida-im-new-yorker-now-i-live-here\/\">detailed<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a New Yorker, and now I live in Florida,\u201d one woman told Team DeSantis. Team DeSantis asked another woman, who lives in Pennsylvania under Democrat Gov.\u00a0Tom\u00a0\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2020\/05\/15\/watch-pennsylvania-resident-protests-commie-tommy-gov-wolf-this-is-not-stalinist-russia\/\">Commie Tommy<\/a>\u201d Wolf, \u201cHow do you like living in Pennsylvania?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hate it. We have the worst governor ever,\u201d she responded. \u201cI think Ron DeSantis should be the governor of Pennsylvania. Florida, you\u2019re so lucky!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others praised the governor for keeping Florida a free state, donning his campaign\u2019s spring break-themed \u201cVote Free.
