Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) in Surfside, Florida. (Photo by Joe Raedle\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 11:17 AM PT \u2013 Sunday, June 20, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) has turned heads for his strong stance on several key GOP issues. While several lawmakers and state leaders have kowtowed to the wishes of the progressive left, DeSantis has pushed back against everything from coronavirus lockdowns to protecting women\u2019s opportunities in sports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll fight with hope and optimism,\u201d he announced. \u201cWe will emerge stronger as a result of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis has recently signed multiple bills to push the Sunshine State to lead the way. When it came to the coronavirus pandemic, DeSantis made sure lockdowns were only put in place when absolutely necessary and put the state\u2019s most vulnerable first, despite advice from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile in all these locked down states closed schools, shuttered business and destroyed lives were the norm. In Florida we\u2019ve had schools open the entire school year,\u201d he stated. \u201cOur businesses are thriving and we have saved millions of livelihoods from the brunt of lockdowns.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The reasons are clear \u2015 Florida is successful because we are OPEN and let Floridians make decisions that are best for them. Florida\u2019s budget has $10 billion in reserve because Florida chose Freedom over Faucism. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tEzMRH6U6k\">pic.twitter.com\/tEzMRH6U6k<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1402691312093220864?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis also led Florida to become the first state to hold Big Tech accountable by requiring social media platforms to publish detailed standards and apply them fairly. He emphasized \u201csocial media companies will no longer be able to hide behind vague language as to why they censored a Floridian\u2019s post.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, DeSantis signed a bill ensuring female athletes have access to equal opportunities in high school and college.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can tell you this: in Florida, girls are going to play girls\u2019 sports and boys are going to play boys\u2019 sports,\u201d he announced. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re doing and we\u2019re going to make sure that\u2019s the reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As leftists have called for the defunding of police, the Florida Republican has remained strong in his support for law enforcement by garnering respect and building a strong relationship with those authorities. In Florida\u2019s response to the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots last summer, DeSantis highlighted his state\u2019s work to back the blue and allocate necessary funding to law enforcement.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">For 200 years, sheriffs have been keeping our communities safe.
