Ron DeSantis Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Governor Ron DeSantis has been actively shaping Florida's political landscape as we head into the final days of 2025. Most significantly, DeSantis recently signed Florida's Fiscal Year 2025-2026 budget, totaling 117 point 4 billion dollars. According to the Governor's official press office, this represents a major fiscal accomplishment, with the budget coming in just 10 million dollars above his recommended budget despite the legislature initially passing a 117 point 9 billion dollar version. DeSantis exercised 567 million dollars in line-item vetoes, continuing what he describes as his commitment to fiscal responsibility.

The budget reflects DeSantis's key priorities. The state is maintaining 15 point 7 billion dollars in reserves, with the Budget Stabilization Fund reaching its maximum legal limit. Under his administration, Florida's Rainy Day Fund has more than tripled to a record 4 point 9 billion dollars. According to the Governor's office, DeSantis has also repaid nearly 50 percent of Florida's historic debt and is requiring 250 million dollars in repayment in all future budgets.

The budget heavily funds education and public safety, providing record per-pupil K-12 funding alongside law enforcement bonuses and pay raises. There's 1 point 4 billion dollars dedicated to Everglades restoration and water quality initiatives, plus over 15 billion dollars for transportation and infrastructure projects. The budget also includes 194 point 8 million dollars from the nationwide Opioid Settlement Agreement to support addiction treatment and recovery programs.

Earlier this month, DeSantis made a public appearance in West Palm Beach, where he unveiled his proposed state budget and addressed property tax concerns. According to local news reports, he praised Florida's strong economy and noted that people from across the country are moving to the Sunshine State because of its economic success. During this event, DeSantis also defended the state's fiscal management against criticism regarding local government spending practices.

On the legislative front, DeSantis continues to champion initiatives addressing illegal immigration, mental health services, and youth protection. His administration remains focused on the implementation of various laws signed throughout 2025 addressing social media access for minors and disaster preparedness.
