TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – Rep. Byron Donald continues to drive speculation that he may announce a bid to become Florida’s next governor. On Friday, Southwest Florida lawmakers spoke at a Conservative Political Action Conference.
“Look for me, stay tuned,” Donald said.

The statement continues to support President Donald Trump, despite lawmakers not making an official announcement.
“I just want to say the President, thank you, and I won’t disappoint you,” Donald said.
After a panel with the nonpartisan group Tampa Tiger Bay Club, Hillsboro GOP Chair Carmen Edmonds has speculated that includes First Lady Casey DeSantis, Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson and former Congressman Matt Getz. I also confirmed that I had heard. Edmonds is being advised on what candidates should run.
“If we can fix some of the real estate insurance issues, fix the car insurance issues, and make homeownership and car ownership a bit cheaper, that’s going to help people all over the place,” Edmonds said. I did.
Local parties will not grant approval until after Governor GOP Primary.
“It’s not surprising to Donald Trump, that means he jumps out early and often drives people behind him who really like him and push him,” Edmonds said.
Hoyt Prindle said Hoyt Prindle with county Democrats could run, including Rep. Fentrice Drikell of Hillsboro County, and South Florida state Sen. Jason Pizzo, the leader of Florida’s minority. If so, he also has the idea of their platform.
“We have to deal with the state’s insurance crisis. We’ve had over 25 years of years with giveaways for several insurance companies,” Prindle says.
However, Prince didn’t expect to talk about the governor’s race any time soon.
“I’m honestly surprised that the president chose to support this early,” Prince said.
Governor Ron Desantis is limited. The gubernatorial election will not be held until November 2026.
