Politics run in the family…
Don Gaetz, Rep. Matt Gaetz's (R-Fla.) father, announced on Monday that he will be running again for the Florida Senate.
“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 state 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.”
Don Gaetz, a Republican, said that he has no intentions of seeking higher office and that his goal is to make living in Florida affordable.
Don Gaetz previously served as president of the Florida Senate, from 2012 to 2014 according to The Hill.
He said his decision to run has nothing to do with rumors of his son, Matt Gaetz, weighing a bid for Florida governor in 2026.
“Matt's not pursuing any run for governor. He's pushing forward tackling budget and spending problems in Washington and fighting for term limits,” Don Gaetz said, according to the AP.
