Republican Byron Donalds delivered a message to Florida’s Jewish community during his election night victory speech after defeating Democrat David Jolly in the race to succeed Gov. Ron DeSantis.
“In Florida we will not tolerate bigotry of any kind, including antisemitism. Florida will be a state for everybody!”
Donalds, who will become Florida’s first Black governor, pledged to represent all Floridians, including those who did not vote for him.
Recently, JBN Florida correspondent Gabe G. caught up with Donalds for an exclusive stand-up interview discussing Israel, antisemitism, and the historic alliance between Black and Jewish Americans. Donalds reflected on the Jewish community’s crucial role in the Civil Rights Movement, the importance of rebuilding Black-Jewish relationships, and the need for both communities to stand together against hatred.
A vocal supporter of Israel, Donalds has also pledged to maintain Florida’s reputation as a welcoming and secure home for Jewish Americans.
