== Vermont GOP ==
The Vermont Republican Party adopted its current platform at its platform convention on May 30, 2026, the delegates having gathered in Randolph.<ref>https://vtgop.org/party-platform/</ref><ref>https://vtgopmondaymessage.substack.com/p/two-visions-for-vermont-a-contrast</ref> At roughly five hundred words across a preamble, nine brief headings, and a conclusion, it is the shortest platform surveyed here, briefer even than North Dakota's.
=== Strengths ===
* Opens on the Declaration of Independence and the Creator as the source of unalienable rights, and closes by affirming "one nation under God"
* Defends Vermont's longstanding tradition of school choice
* Endorses religious protection for every healthcare worker
* Names the family as the fundamental institution on which society rests
* Insists that government be administered transparently and without political bias
=== Weaknesses ===
* Silent on [[data center]]s
* Silent on [[gambling]] in every form, predatory or otherwise
* Merely affirms the inherent value of human life in a single clause. Does not mention abortion, the [[abortion pill]], or [[fetal personhood]]
* '''''Contains no mention whatever of the Second Amendment or the right to keep and bear arms'''''
* Does not define marriage, or mention it
* Silent on [[ranked choice voting]], [[term limits]], and a [[Con Con]]
* Says nothing about who may vote in Republican primaries
== Florida GOP ==
The Republican Party of Florida does not publish a platform written by Florida delegates. Its website offers a mission statement praising freedom, liberty, personal responsibility, and accountability, followed by a Reagan quotation, and nothing more.<ref>https://florida.gop/about/</ref> The party instead follows the national Republican platform.<ref>https://ballotpedia.org/Republican_Party_of_Florida</ref> Florida is thus the largest state surveyed here and the only one whose delegates write nothing of their own; the 2024 national document it defers to runs sixteen pages across ten chapters.<ref>https://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/2024-republican-party-platform</ref>
=== Strengths ===
* The national platform's seventh promise defends the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms
* Chapter Eight promotes a culture valuing the sanctity of marriage and the foundational role of families
* Chapter Seven endorses universal school choice in every state, supports homeschooling families equally, restores parental rights, and champions the right to pray and read the Bible in school
* Chapter Seven also closes the federal Department of Education and returns schooling to the states
* Chapter Nine defends religious liberty and creates a federal task force on anti-Christian bias
* Separately from the platform, the Republican Party of Florida Executive Board unanimously resolved in 2024 to oppose the state constitutional amendments on abortion and on recreational marijuana<ref>https://florida.gop/fl_amendments_positions/</ref>
=== Weaknesses ===
* '''''There is no Florida platform at all''''', and so nothing that Florida delegates may be held to, amended, or measured against
* The national platform names abortion a single time, and leaves the matter to the states rather than protecting the unborn child directly
* Does not criminalize possession or use of the [[abortion pill]], and does not adopt [[fetal personhood]] outright
* Says nothing of [[gambling]], sports betting, or prediction markets, an omission of some weight in a state with an enormous wagering compact
* Silent on [[data center]]s
* Silent on [[vaccine choice]] and on medical conscientious objection
* Silent on a [[Con Con]], on [[term limits]], and on [[ranked choice voting]]
* Invokes the sanctity of marriage without ever defining it as the union of one man and one woman, unlike the Oklahoma platform
