Ron DeSantis<\/h2>\n<p>Even prior to\u200c arriving in\u2062 Florida to work for the Office of Gov. Ron DeSantis in \u20622020, I was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/police-chief-accused-of-breaking-cops-neck-in-training-demo-wont-face-charges\/\" title=\"Police Chief Accused Of Breaking Cop\u2019s Neck In Training Demo Won\u2019t Face Charges\">immediately struck<\/a> by the bravery and conviction he exhibited\u200b during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mercyme-debuts-new-single-for-crew-member-who-lost-all-four-limbs\/\" title=\"\u2018MercyMe\u2019 Debuts New Single for Crew Member Who Lost All Four Limbs\">early days<\/a>\u200c of Covid. He \u200cstood on principle\u200b and fortified his position with\u200d data.<\/p>\n<p>This endeared me \u2062to his causes. My own path to Florida began with studying and sharing Covid data online. In contradicting some of the\u2062 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-admin-says-travelers-from-u-k-must-test-negative-for-covid-19-amidst-new-strain-concerns\/\" title=\"Trump Admin Says Travelers From U.K. Must Test Negative For COVID-19 Amidst New Strain Concerns\">federal government\u2019<\/a>s narratives, I endured a tsunami of \u2064smears from corporate media attempting to attack my credibility and qualifications for my job.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>For saying things like masks \u200bdidn\u2019t stop respiratory viruses, lockdowns were destructive, and the \u2064virus may \u2063have come from a lab, I was ridiculed and vilified. In fact, some congressional Democrats tried to have me canceled after I accepted a position with\u2063 the state.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Despite the onslaught, the DeSantis administration never budged. Going with the governor\u200c against Anthony Fauci was the correct decision.<\/p>\n<p>Now, my path \u200dhas diverged \u200ba bit. But my resolve \u200bhas not.<\/p>\n<p>A few months ago, I \u2063left the \u2064state office to join the Ron DeSantis for \u2064President campaign. It required little contemplation. You only commit to such an endeavor knowing it\u2019s a finite journey that \u2064could be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/consumer-sentiment-falls-on-covid-and-inflation-fears\/\" title=\"Consumer Sentiment Falls on Covid and Inflation Fears\">roller coaster ride<\/a>\u200d of emotion.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Recently, my journey was cut short \u200bas one of a reported 38 \u200bstaffers who parted ways with the campaign in what has been\u2064 termed \u2063a \u201creset.\u201d Some would consider this a dead end to their political pilgrimage. I view it \u200das more of a \u2062bright orange \u201cdetour\u201d sign.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>When I\u2063 pledged my \u200bblood, sweat, \u200dand tears\u2064 to this cause, I did so because I believe America is ready for her restoration and DeSantis is the man to \u2064lead that \u201cGreat American Comeback.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">DeSantis Is Putting His All Into This<\/h2>\n<p>Already, I believe the fruits of\u2063 the campaign reboot are coming to harvest. In the past few weeks,\u2063 DeSantis has \u200bdone interviews \u2064with \u200dCNN, NBC, and The\u200c New York Times. He\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-ron-desantis-is-the-man-to-lead-the-great-american-comeback\/\" title=\"Ron DeSantis: Leading the American Comeback\">joined popular conservative long-form podcasts<\/a> with influencers Clay Travis and Megyn Kelly.<\/p>\n<p>In doing the \u201cfull Grassley,\u201d the governor is visiting\u200b all 99 counties in Iowa ahead of the January caucuses. He\u2019s \u200cbeen involved in more town halls and engaging\u200c in \u2062other forms of retail politics.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>This is vital for the public to become more intimately familiar \u200bwith the man I trust. In one of those town halls last week, he unveiled his <a href=\"https:\/\/rondesantis.com\/mission\/Declaration-of-economic-independence\/\">economic plan<\/a> to bring Americans under control of their\u2063 own financial destiny once again.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>On Tuesday, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/themessenger.com\/news\/desantis-new-campaign-manager-exclusive\">reported<\/a> the governor\u2019s Chief \u2064of Staff James Uthmeier \u2014 my previous boss in \u200bthe Office of the Governor \u2014 would be taking over \u200bas campaign manager. I\u2019m excited\u200c for James. He is intelligent, diligent, energetic, and fiercely loyal.<\/p>\n<p>But\u2063 as with all the other noise involved in \u2064the campaign, I believe, ultimately, all that \u200bis \u2064necessary is for Americans to hear from the candidate directly. Once they hear his policies\u200c and vision for America and experience his grasp of nuanced issues, they will understand why he\u2019s ripe for leading the restoration.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Florida\u2019s Red Hot, and \u200cDeSantis\u2064 Got It There<\/h2>\n<p>When DeSantis took office in his first term, Florida had a net of more\u200c than 300,000 more Democrats registered than Republicans. Now\u200b that advantage \u2062is more\u200d than 550,000\u2064 in favor of the Republicans. Florida\u2064 is turning into an oasis of\u200d freedom, and people are fleeing bottomless blue pits in\u200b record numbers to be part\u2063 of this powerful red freight \u2064train.<\/p>\n<p>I\u200d don\u2019t place \u2062loyalty to politicians ahead of the best interests of our society. But we must fight for those who fight for us. In these closed quarters, with shared principles and vision,\u2064 my DeSantis colleagues become like a second \u200cfamily. Personally, I don\u2019t \u2063abandon family.<\/p>\n<p>Controversy\u200b sells. Media outlets and merchants of controversy would love \u2064nothing more than for someone in my position to gossip or fuel the fire of despair. They would love for me to \u200dtell tall tales of a floundering campaign and turn \u200bquickly against my colleagues. But that is\u2063 not my story to \u200dtell, \u200bnor is it\u200c the\u2064 one anyone should want to read.<\/p>\n<p>Among all the victories \u200cthe governor and state of Florida have put on \u200dthe scoreboard \u200don the path\u2063 to a near 20-point\u2062 midterm win in 2022, perhaps I\u2019m most impressed \u2063by the quality of character in the governor\u2019s \u200corbit. I have worked alongside \u200bmany passionate and principled people in \u2063both the administration and campaign.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Man in the Arena<\/h2>\n<p>In\u2064 a speech given in Paris in April 1910, President\u2063 Teddy Roosevelt delivered infamous remarks about \u201cthe man in the arena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s \u2062not the critic who \u2063counts,\u201d Roosevelt said, \u201cnot the man who points\u200c out how\u200d the strong man \u2063stumbles, or where the doer of\u2062 deeds could have \u200ddone them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in \u2062the arena.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As metaphors go, there is none more apropos for\u2064 DeSantis. He is awakening the spirit of \u200cblue-collar\u200d Americans \u200ball over the country. They see him as their fighter for American values: for life, family, their livelihoods, and the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe average\u2064 citizen must be a good citizen if our republics are to succeed,\u201d \u200bRoosevelt also noted. \u200d\u201cThe stream\u200c will not permanently rise higher than the main source; and the main source of national \u2063power\u2062 and national greatness \u200dis \u2062found in the average citizenship of the nation. Therefore, it behooves us to do our best to see that the standard of the average citizen is kept high;\u2064 and the average cannot be kept high unless the standard of the leaders is \u2063very much higher.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My work didn\u2019t end the day I departed the campaign. If \u2064anything, \u200ctoday\u200b I am more convinced than ever that DeSantis\u2063 is the right man for the presidency. He\u2019s restored my faith that America is not some rudderless ship wandering\u2064 aimlessly at sea.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When They See Him, They\u2019ll Love Him<\/h2>\n<p>Much is made about polls and momentum. I\u2019m sure there \u2062are valid criticisms of the\u2064 campaign\u2062 to this\u200d point. However, getting \u2062this candidate out in the open will appeal to voters. As the visibility of his policies and \u2062vision for America increases,\u2064 and voters awaken from their summer slumber and begin to truly consider options for 2024, they will see what I saw in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis\u2019 understanding of the issues is vast. \u2063When voters hear more about what he stands\u200b for \u2014 and, equally important, why \u2062\u2014 I\u2019m confident \u2064he will\u200b resonate with them. They will learn what I \u2063learned in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>My journey may have\u2063 taken a detour,\u200d but the destination \u200chasn\u2019t changed. I will continue to fight for the man\u200c who is fighting for us.<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis will \u2062do \u2062for these United States what he has done for Florida and raise our expectations for\u200b the executive. I say this not as an \u200bemployee or out of a \u2063sense of\u2063 loyalty, but because I\u2019ve seen it and I\u2063 believe in it.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2020, before joining Gov.
