Building a Future-Ready Workforce: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis | Global Conference 2026

Ron DeSantis, Charles Gasparino

Governor Ron DeSantis argues that Florida's rapid economic expansion and educational achievements result from favorable policies and tax structures that incentivize capital and skilled workers to migrate from high-tax states like New York and California. As vice-chair of the sports reform committee, he is concurrently pursuing federal antitrust legislation to stabilize college athletics while addressing state affordability through a proposed constitutional amendment to cap property tax burdens on homeowners. DeSantis plans to remain politically active following his 2027 term to complete these initiatives, citing his successful conversion of a Democratic stronghold into a Republican-majority economy as evidence of his continued governance strategy.
