Florida Governor

DeSantis moved quickly to implement conservative policies as Florida's governor.[1] By the end of DeSantis's first month in office, he had already appointed three justices to the Florida Supreme Court, dramatically shifting it from a liberal to a conservative court.[2] On January 31, 2019, DeSantis signed an executive order to end Common Core.[3] DeSantis removed many of former Governor Rick Scott's political appointees, which the latter made without DeSantis's permission shortly before DeSantis took office.[4] In his first two months in office, DeSantis made many other conservative reforms, including deregulation, promoting lower taxes, posthumously pardoning wrongly convicted black people, and pushed back against the government-subsidized sugar industry.[5] Early in his tenure, DeSantis oversaw a state "deregathon" which significantly reduced the state regulatory burden.[5][6]

In 2019, DeSantis encouraged Florida sheriffs to increase their cooperation with ICE, though he did nothing to push through a bill to establish E-Verify in Florida despite campaigning on it.[7] On June 14, 2019, DeSantis signed a bill banning "sanctuary" cities in Florida.[8] As governor, DeSantis associated himself with Angel families while advocating for an E-Verify law.[9] He also ordered Florida prisons to begin identifying criminal illegal aliens in custody.[10]

On May 8, 2019, DeSantis signed a bill into law allowing local school districts to arm their teachers.[11] In July 2019, DeSantis signed a bill allowing medics to legally carry guns when in dangerous situations.[12]

DeSantis strongly supported Israel and opposed the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.[13]

In December 2019, DeSantis announced civics requirements in Florida public high schools.[14][15]

In addition to promoting conservative policies, DeSantis saw high approval ratings.[16]
