Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis delivered his second inaugural address from the steps of the Florida Historic Capitol in Tallahassee on Tuesday.
Mr. Chief Justice, members of the Cabinet, and fellow citizens:
When the world lost its mind – when common sense suddenly became an uncommon virtue – Florida was a refuge of sanity, a citadel of freedom for our fellow Americans and even for people around the world. And now we are here today because the people of Florida have validated our efforts in record fashion.Four years ago, we promised to pursue a bold agenda. We did just that and we have produced results:
We promised to remedy deficiencies in Florida’s election administration and to hold wayward officials accountable – and we delivered. We must ensure school systems are responsive to parents and to students, not partisan interest groups, and we must ensure that our institutions of higher learning are focused on academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, not the imposition of trendy ideology.
Well these last few years have witnessed a great test of governing philosophies as many jurisdictions pursued a much different path than we have pursued here in the state of Florida. They have imposed medical authoritarianism in the guise of pandemic mandates and restrictions that lack a scientific basis.
It has imposed an energy policy that has crippled our nation’s domestic production, causing energy to cost more for our citizens and eroding our nation’s energy security, and, in the process, our national security. We insist on the restoration of time-tested constitutional principles so that government of, by and for the people shall not perish from this earth.
