Every conversation reminds me what's at stake. Floridians aren't looking for political theater. They're looking for leadership that listens, solves problems, and delivers. As governor, I'll fight for a more affordable Florida and more opportunity for every family.

Byron Donalds says he's fighting for Floridians while taking money from AI interests. That's the problem: he says one thing, does another, and thinks voters won't notice. As governor, I'll stand up for workers and put Florida families first.

No matter who you are, who you love, or where you come from, you deserve respect, opportunity, and the freedom to live without fear or discrimination. Every Floridian deserves the chance to succeed and thrive. That's the kind of Florida worth fighting for. Happy Pride Month.

Every day on this campaign, I hear from Floridians concerned about rising costs, housing affordability, and the future of our state. Throughout my career, I've brought people together and delivered results. As governor, I'll put Florida families first and get things done.

Congratulations to trailblazing @repwilson.bsky.social on an extraordinary career of public service. Thank you for your leadership, advocacy for students and working families, and decades of dedication to Florida. Your impact will be felt for generations to come.

Welcome to Orlando, @davidjolly.bsky.social You led the effort to defund Planned Parenthood and voted to ban abortion. Democrats are paying attention. Calling the cops on our truck won’t erase your record.

Yesterday, I joined our community at the Orange County War Memorial to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Freedom is never free. We must continue teaching younger generations the value of service, sacrifice, and patriotism so we never forget. 🇺🇸

As Sheriff, I responded the night Pulse changed Orlando forever. Almost 10 years later, I joined local leaders and law enforcement to remember the lessons we still cannot afford to ignore. Florida deserves leaders who will stand against hate, and put people before politics.

Jerry Demings @jerrydemings.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Yesterday, I visited Bartow to talk about what too many politicians ignore: People feel disconnected because they’ve watched their voices and rights come under attack while leadership fails to address affordability, education, and opportunity. We deserve better. We deserve real change.

Florida’s Fiscal Chihuahua is back with more false attacks on my record. Republicans are panicking because their polling shows I’m a threat to their agenda of making Florida more unaffordable. I’ve helped lead one of Florida’s strongest local economies, and we're going to win.

Honored to speak at the 70th Annual Convention of the Democratic Women’s Club of Florida this weekend. Women in Florida deserve leadership that protects reproductive freedom, strengthens public education, and lowers costs for families. As governor, that’s what I’ll fight for.

Jerry Demings @jerrydemings.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

A decade after Pulse, Florida still has politicians like Byron Donalds siding with the gun lobby over commonsense safety measures. We cannot keep repeating the same cycle of tragedy and inaction. As governor, I’ll fight for safer communities and leadership that puts Florida families first.

Jerry Demings @jerrydemings.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

While DeSantis and my opponents have failed working families and attacked unions, we’re delivering real results. We approved an agreement supporting firefighters through better pay, stronger recruitment, and continued investment in public safety. That’s the kind of leadership Florida deserves.

Jerry Demings @jerrydemings.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Thank you to the Lake County Democratic Party for welcoming me to their Blue Gala Fundraiser. Floridians are ready for leadership that lower costs, expands opportunity, supports public education, and puts people first. I'm proud to be building that vision together with communities across our state.

Jerry Demings @jerrydemings.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

I joined The People’s Chat Room to talk about the kind of real solutions Floridians deserve. In Orange County, we helped eliminate more than $500 million in medical debt for over 345,000 residents. That’s the kind of people-first leadership I’ll bring as governor. jerrydemings.com

Jerry Demings @jerrydemings.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Floridians are tired of paying more while politicians congratulate themselves. I’ll tackle the affordability crisis, lower costs, and fight for working families, not special interests. Florida deserves leadership focused on people, not politics.

Jerry Demings @jerrydemings.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

Drawing upon my experiences in law enforcement and as an executive, I know we need commonsense gun safety reforms here in Florida. I've led on it in Orange County, and I will deliver on it as governor. I'm proud to earn the Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate distinction.

Alligator Alcatraz is the waste, fraud, and abuse that Tallahassee pretends to be against. More importantly, it’s a moral stain on our state. The facility has been a human rights catastrophe. I hope this is the end. If not, it will be when I’m governor.

Byron Donalds is attacking me after two straight polls show us neck and neck. Fine by me. Can’t wait to go toe-to-toe with him on our records through November. Here’s a preview: I’m not the one who thinks prices are lower and we have an A-grade economy.

In Orlando, GOP governor candidate Donalds criticizes Demings, supports redistricting

At the event, about a dozen protestors across the street held a banner saying “No Trumper 4 Governor.”

At the time I was born in the South, the Voting Rights Act didn't exist. It took generations of people who marched and fought for the right to vote and against disenfranchisement to get it passed. Today's Callais decision effectively renders the VRA a dead letter.

Jerry Demings @jerrydemings.bsky.social · 09/04/2026

Republicans have had a legislative trifecta in Tallahassee since 1999. That's over 27 years. Many Floridians born since then can vote, serve in the military, legally drink, and rent a car—some with years to spare. It's time for a change.

I want to wish all who celebrate a Happy Easter. May you and your loved ones enjoy a peaceful and wonderful holiday.

Val and I are heartbroken over the death of Vice Mayor Nancy Metayer Bowen. She served steadfastly in the pursuit of environmental justice and community. We grieve alongside her loved ones and pray for Coral Springs.

Also want to say hi, @bsky.app! 👋 My name is Jerry Demings, and I'm the mayor of Orange County and running for governor of the Sunshine State. I look forward to sharing updates from our campaign and our message to Floridians here going forward! ☀️

Congratulations to Senator-elect Nathan and Representative-elect Gregory for their outstanding wins, which show what we know in Florida to be true: Democrats can and will win in the Sunshine State.
