Gaetz, 75, is running for the state Senate​ seat ​currently held by outgoing GOP ​Senator Doug Broxson. Broxson’s term limit is ending, opening‍ up an opportunity for Gaetz ⁣senior to​ make a⁣ comeback.

Gaetz⁤ senior is passionate about addressing the cost of​ living ⁢in Florida. He clarified that he has no intention of running for higher office, as his sole political aspiration is to make Florida an affordable⁣ state‍ to ⁣live in.

“It’s⁣ apparent that ‌while we are a low tax state,⁢ we are also a high electricity cost, ‍high insurance if you can⁣ find it and a high⁢ housing cost⁣ state,” he said. “High costs, these kitchen⁢ table issues, make⁣ it hard for people to ‍live here.⁤ The state of Florida has to become an affordable state ‌to live in.”

Meanwhile, his son, Matt Gaetz,‌ has been ⁤making waves in the political ‍arena. He⁢ has been a vocal​ critic of⁤ House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and recently⁢ announced his intention to file a motion ​to vacate McCarthy over ​a spending legislation⁢ dispute. This⁤ could potentially lead to a vote on whether McCarthy should ​remain‌ as the ⁢speaker. ‌Matt Gaetz has also​ served in the state House from 2010 ​to⁤ 2016 ​and is​ rumored to be a potential candidate for Florida governor in ‍the upcoming 2026 election.

Don Gaetz wants to make it clear that‌ his decision to⁢ return to the Florida ⁤Senate has no connection to his son’s ⁤future plans.

“He’s⁢ pushing forward tackling budget and spending problems in Washington and fighting for ⁣term limits,” Gaetz [senior] said.

⁣Don Gaetz Announces Candidacy ​for Florida Senate Seat

Former Republican state​ Senate ‍president Don Gaetz has recently declared his intention to ​return to‍ the Florida Senate. Gaetz, who led ‌the chamber from 2012 to 2014,‍ hopes to ⁤secure ⁤the seat‌ currently held ‍by outgoing GOP Senator Doug Broxson, whose⁤ term ⁢limit is ending.

At ‌the age ⁢of 75, Gaetz‌ senior is driven⁤ by a passion for addressing the ⁤cost ⁤of living in Florida. He emphasized that his political‌ aspirations are solely focused​ on making the ‌state more affordable for its‌ residents. Gaetz⁣ recognizes that while Florida may be known as a low-tax state, it still struggles ​with⁢ high electricity costs, expensive insurance, and ‍soaring housing prices. These “kitchen table issues” make it difficult for people​ to afford living in the⁤ state. Gaetz believes that Florida must become an affordable place to reside.

Meanwhile, Gaetz’s son, Matt Gaetz, has been making waves in the political arena himself. He has been a vocal critic of House Speaker⁣ Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and recently expressed his ⁢intention ​to file a motion ‌to ⁣vacate McCarthy over‍ a spending legislation dispute.​ This could potentially trigger a vote on‍ McCarthy’s position as ​speaker. Matt Gaetz ‍has also served in the state House ⁢from 2010 to 2016 and is rumored to⁤ be a potential⁤ candidate for Florida governor in the upcoming 2026 election.

Don Gaetz wants to ‍clarify that his decision to return to the ‍Florida Senate is independent⁢ of his son’s future plans. He acknowledges that​ Matt Gaetz is focused on tackling ⁢budget ‍and spending issues​ in Washington and advocating for term limits.

As the races for various political​ offices heat​ up,⁢ it will be interesting to ⁣see ⁣how both Gaetz senior and⁢ Gaetz junior navigate their respective campaigns. Their political presence in Florida could significantly impact‍ the‍ state’s future‌ and policies related to affordability. As Floridians, we should stay‍ informed about ⁢their progress ⁢and ⁣engage in the democratic process by ⁢voting for candidates who align with our values and priorities.
