Ron DeSantis has been turning 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 been pushing back against everything from COVID-19 lockdowns to protecting women\u2019s opportunities in sports.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, DeSantis has been signing bill after bill, pushing Florida to lead the way. When it came to the COVID-19 pandemic, DeSantis ensured lockdowns were only put in place when absolutely necessary and put the state\u2019s most vulnerable first despite the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\u2019s (CDC) advice.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2452319\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2452319\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2452319\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/desantisss-655x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"SURFSIDE, FLORIDA - JUNE 14: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis greets people after signing two bills at the Shul of Bal Harbour on June 14, 2021 in Surfside, Florida. The bills are HB 529 and HB 805. HB 805 ensures that volunteer ambulance services, including Hatzalah, can operate. HB 529 requires Florida schools to hold a daily moment of silence.

(Joe Raedle\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\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 to 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>The Republican also signed a bill ensuring female athletes have access to equal opportunities in both high school and college. \u201cI can tell you this: In Florida, girls are going to play girls\u2019 sports and boys are going to play boys\u2019 sports. That\u2019s what we\u2019re doing and we\u2019re going to make sure that\u2019s the reality,\u201d said DeSantis.<\/p>\n<p>The Florida governor has remained strong in his support for law enforcement as leftists have continued to call for the defunding of police, garnering respect and building a strong relationship with those authorities in return. Sheriff of Polk County, Grady Judd, commented on DeSantis saying, \u201cnever have I seen the leadership that I see with Gov. DeSantis.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Floridians and visitors have a right to feel safe in our state, and HB 1 creates a safer Florida for all. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/EjSr5zfaVW\">pic.twitter.com\/EjSr5zfaVW<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GovRonDeSantis\/status\/1384579775663120387?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 20, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>DeSantis discussed Florida\u2019s response to the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots last summer, highlighting his state\u2019s work to back the Blue and allocate necessary funding to law enforcement.
