Former Florida House Speaker Paul Renner has announced his candidacy for governor of Florida in the 2026 election, entering the Republican primary to succeed term-limited Governor Ron DeSantis. Renner will challenge Rep. Byron Donalds, a Trump-endorsed candidate, among others. A Navy veteran and former state prosecutor, Renner emphasizes his commitment to defending Florida’s values while addressing key challenges<\/a>. despite his previous collaboration with DeSantis, the current governor criticized Renner’s decision to run as “ill-advised<\/a>.” Renner supports school choice<\/a>, parental rights in education, Second Amendment protections including open-carry laws, and aligns with former President Trump’s Make America Great Again platform. On the Democratic side, former Republican David Jolly is viewed as a likely primary frontrunner. Renner remains confident about the upcoming primary battle<\/a> and considers the eventual Democratic nominee as the main opposition.
