Contract With Florida

We Are Florida. We're Listening. Are You?

Our votes are worth more than any donor check. Sign the contract. Put Floridians and our freedoms ahead of special interests. We're ready to pledge our votes — the question is, are you ready to earn them?

Contract With Florida is an invitation to the Republican ticket: sign a public commitment to put Floridians and our freedoms ahead of special interests, and we pledge our votes to you.

If they sign, we show up. If they don't, we each make our own choice in November.

0

Floridians have pledged their votes, contingent on all four candidates signing the contract.

These are not lost votes. These are votes waiting to come home.

Part One

The Truth, Plainly Stated

We asked for a debate. The voters asked. The grassroots asked. Even Governor DeSantis called the refusal to hold a debate disrespectful to the people of Florida.

It didn't matter. The Republican Party of Florida shut it down.

No debates. No questions. No chance to see the candidates side by side, under pressure, forced to earn our trust. We were treated like an afterthought: disrespected, dismissed, and told to fall in line.

Many good people are now considering sitting this election out. Some are even looking across the aisle. Not out of anger, but out of a sense that their voice simply does not matter.

We understand that feeling. We share it. It is not bitterness. It is the natural response to being taken for granted once too often.

We believe our voices do matter. And we believe there is a path forward that brings everyone back to the table.

The public pledge

A Contract With Florida

This Contract is a public pledge between the undersigned candidates and the people of Florida. It is a commitment to serve those who live here, work here, and call this state home. The signatories pledge their loyalty to the voters of Florida and agree to use the full weight of their office to advance these principles in good faith.

I. Contract for Conservation

We resolve to defend Florida's right under the Tenth Amendment to protect its land, water, and ecosystems from federal mandates that override state conservation standards. We will require independent third-party environmental impact studies and water use and potential contamination studies before any hyperscale data center permit is approved. For purposes of this resolution, "independent third-party" means a firm selected solely by the state, paid for by the applicant, and having no financial relationship - direct or indirect - with the applicant, any investor in the project, or any entity sharing ownership ties with them.

II. Contract for Care

We resolve to oppose any government mandate requiring a medical procedure, vaccination, or treatment as a condition of employment, education, or participation in public life, and oppose any repeal or weakening of Florida's existing medical freedom protections. Medical decisions belong to individuals and families, not to the state. Expressing support for Dr. Joseph Ladapo, to continue serving as Florida's Surgeon General, would reassure many moving forward.

III. Contract for Commerce

We resolve to support legislation requiring all government public sector entities to accept cash for taxes, fees, fines, and services, and that Floridians can never be forced or coerced into using any kind of digital programmable money. We shall oppose any bill regarding the use, sale, or distribution of digital programmable currency that does not include explicit protections for Floridians.

IV. Contract for Children

We resolve to defend the fundamental right of parents to direct their children's upbringing and education. We will support curriculum transparency, expanding trade and technical pathways, and education funding that follows the student to the school their parents choose. We will oppose schools concealing information about a child's well-being from parents, and any state funding for any schools or programs that promote foreign legal systems, anti-American ideology, or radicalization.

V. Contract for Community

We resolve to restore Fourth Amendment protections in the digital age by requiring authorized government agents to obtain a warrant based on probable cause before accessing citizens' physical or digital property held by third parties — ensuring surveillance tools like Flock cameras and automated license plate readers cannot track law-abiding citizens without specific suspicions or judicial oversight. Such surveillance data captured within Florida shall be stored on servers physically located in this state, shall not be transferred to any out-of-state entity or federal database absent a specific warrant naming the individual whose data is sought, and shall be automatically purged within 7 days unless retained pursuant to an active criminal investigation supported by probable cause.

Signature

I, the undersigned, pledge my honor and my office to the people of Florida. I will work in good faith to advance the principles of this Contract. I ask the people to hold me to this pledge — and to stand with me as I fight for it.

The people of Florida

Part Two

The Silver Lining

Here is what we also believe: this moment does not have to end badly.

In fact, it might be exactly what the party needed.

The old way of closed doors, donor calls, and the assumption that the base will fall in line no matter how they're treated was never going to hold. It was always going to crack. The only question was when, and how badly.

Now we know. And with that, we have an opportunity.

Contract With Florida is an open door. A way for the candidates to say, publicly and in writing: We heard you. We understand. And we are ready to earn your trust back.

If they walk through that door, we walk with them, all the way to November. If they do not, each of us makes our own choice, freely and with a clear conscience.

That is not a threat. That is citizenship. That is what it looks like when the people remember where the power has always belonged.

Part Three

Let Our Voices Be Heard, Loud and Clear

There's a simple truth that seems to have been forgotten: Do you know how to earn the public trust? You trust the public.

That is what this contract represents. Not a list of demands from an angry mob. Not a shakedown. A vote of confidence, offered freely and in advance, with the understanding that trust goes both ways.

We are saying: We are ready to trust you. Here is what we need to see. Sign, and we are with you.

When the candidates sign, they are not doing us a favor. They are returning something that should never have been taken in the first place: the basic respect owed to the people who put them in office.

Our votes are worth more than any donor check. Our voices carry further than any consultant's strategy. And we are ready to be heard.

The table is set. The contract is waiting. Let them hear us.

The invitation

What This Is

Contract With Florida is an invitation.

We are inviting Byron Donalds and the Republican ticket to sit down with the people they seek to represent. Not through donors, not through consultants, not through party machinery, but directly, through a public contract that says, plainly: Floridians come first. Freedom comes first, in all areas.

If they sign, we pledge our votes. If they do not, we understand where we stand, and we will make our choices accordingly in November.

There is no threat here. There is only clarity. Clarity is what has been missing.

The process

How It Works

  1. Read the Contract. A straightforward document drafted with input from grassroots groups across Florida. It asks the candidates to commit to putting the people of Florida ahead of corporate and special interests. Specific, measurable, public. Read it here.
  2. Pledge Your Vote. If the contract reflects your values, add your name. Your pledge says: I want to vote for you. Here is what I need to see first.
  3. The Candidates Respond. All four Republican candidates for the top offices of Governor, Attorney General, CFO, and Commissioner of Agriculture are asked to sign. One signature is not enough. We rise and fall together.
  4. We Move Forward. If they sign, we show up. If they do not, each of us makes our own decision in November: freely, with full information, and without regret.
A request

A Good Faith Gesture

Included in the contract is the request that all signing resolve to express support for Dr. Joseph Ladapo, to continue serving as Florida's Surgeon General, would reassure many moving forward.

This is not a demand. It is an opportunity.

Dr. Ladapo has earned the trust of countless Floridians by standing for medical independence and health freedom. A public statement of support from the candidates would go a long way toward assuring the people that a Donalds administration intends to protect, not trade away, the medical sovereignty Floridians have fought for.

The undersigned

Who We Are

We are not a political action committee. We are not a party organization. We are not funded by corporations or special interests.

We are Floridians. Parents, retirees, veterans, small business owners, workers, farmers, people of faith, people of conscience. We come from every corner of the state and from across the political spectrum, united by a simple belief: that our government should answer to us, not to the highest bidder.

The grassroots groups that have come together to draft this contract represent hundreds of thousands of voters who are ready to engage, if they are treated as partners, not as obligations.

For everyone

Why This Matters for Everyone

This is not about punishing anyone. It is about building something stronger.

When voters feel heard, they turn out. When they feel taken for granted, they stay home. That is not a threat. It is simply how people work. And right now, a great many Floridians are telling us they do not feel heard.

Contract With Florida offers candidates a chance to change that. To say, publicly and in writing: I hear you. I commit to you. You are my priority.

That is good for the candidates. It is good for the party. And it is good for the state we all love.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you need my information? What are you doing with it?

We ask for as little as possible, and we ask for it honestly.

We do not need your name. We do not need your phone number. We are not building a marketing list, and we are not selling anything.

Here is what we ask for, and why:

Email address: this is the one piece of contact information we require. It is how we confirm that each pledge comes from a real person, not a bot. Without it, the counter means nothing. Anyone could inflate the numbers and undermine the entire effort. Your email is never shared, never sold, and never added to any list without your explicit permission.

Year of birth: so we can show that this movement spans generations. Not just older voters. Not just younger voters. All of us.

Zip code: so we can demonstrate where support is coming from across the state. Every county. Every region. Not just the usual strongholds.

Sex: so the picture is complete. Men and women, together. This tells the candidates, and the public, that this is not a narrow faction. This is Florida.

That information helps us paint an honest portrait of who is standing behind this contract.

We don't sell data. We don't share data. We don't want data we don't need. Trust is the whole point of this project, and that starts with us being straight with you about what we're asking for and why.

Is this just helping the Democrat?

No. This is helping the Republican Party, if the candidates are willing to meet us.

Here is the reality: more than half of Republican primary voters already chose someone other than Byron Donalds. Many of those people are now saying they will sit out the general election or vote for the Democrat. Not because they want to, but because they feel dismissed.

Contract With Florida is the only thing pulling those voters back. Without it, those votes are gone. With it, they come home.

This is not a spoiler. This is a life raft.

What if only some of the candidates sign?

Then the contract is not fulfilled.

All four candidates must sign: Governor, Attorney General, CFO, and Commissioner of Agriculture. We rise and fall together. One signature is not enough. We are asking the entire Republican leadership ticket to commit to putting Florida first. They work together in Tallahassee. They need to sign together here.

Partial commitment is not commitment. It is negotiation. And we are not negotiating.

What happens if they don't sign?

Each voter makes their own decision in November. Freely. With full information. Without regret.

If they do not sign, there is no contract, no collective action, just individual Floridians making individual choices. We hope it does not come to that. But that outcome is entirely in the candidates' hands.

Is this contract legally binding?

It is binding in the only way that matters in politics: publicly.

When a candidate signs their name to a document in front of the voters they are asking to represent, that document becomes evidence. If they break their word, the same people who pledged their votes can hold them accountable: at the ballot box, in the press, and in the public square.

We are not asking for a notary. We are asking for a promise made in the light.

Who wrote the contract?

The contract was drafted with input from grassroots organizations across Florida: groups representing medical freedom advocates, parents, small business owners, farmers, veterans, constitutional conservatives, and independent voters.

No corporations. No lobbyists. No party insiders. Just Floridians.

Who is behind Contract With Florida?

We are not a political action committee. We are not funded by special interests. We are not an arm of any party or campaign.

We are a coalition of grassroots groups and individual voters who believe Florida should be governed for Floridians, not for the highest bidder.

Why should I pledge? What difference does it make?

Because numbers are the only thing that speaks louder than money.

When tens of thousands of Floridians publicly pledge their votes, contingent on a signed contract, the candidates have a choice. They can ignore it and hope those voters don't show up. Or they can sign, and walk into November with an army at their back.

Your pledge turns you from a passive spectator into an active participant. It tells the candidates, and everyone watching, that your vote is not automatic. It must be earned.

What if I already voted for Donalds in the primary?

You are still welcome here. This contract is not about relitigating the primary. It is about making sure the general election reflects the will of all Floridians, including those who voted for Donalds and want to see him lead with integrity.

If the contract reflects your values, pledge. If it doesn't, don't. There is no purity test, only a shared commitment to putting Florida first.

I'm an independent. Can I pledge?

Yes. This contract is not about party affiliation. It is about whether the people seeking to lead Florida are willing to commit, publicly, to putting Floridians ahead of special interests.

If you are a Florida voter and the contract speaks to you, your pledge counts.

I'm a Democrat. Can I pledge?

Yes. The contract is open to any Florida voter who wants to see candidates put people before donors. If that resonates with you, we welcome your pledge.

Will you share the pledge list with the candidates?

We will share the aggregate numbers: total pledges, geographic distribution, demographic breakdown. That is what the candidates need to see to understand the scope of this movement.

We will not share individual pledge information. Your trust matters more than their curiosity.

What about the Ladapo provision? Why is that in there?

Dr. Joseph Ladapo has earned the trust of Floridians by standing for medical independence and health freedom. He is a visible symbol of something larger: the idea that Florida's public health policy should be set in Florida. Not in Washington, not by pharmaceutical companies, not by federal agencies.

Asking all candidates to publicly support keeping Dr. Ladapo as Surgeon General is not a personnel decision. It is a values statement. It tells voters: I will protect the medical sovereignty you fought for.

If a candidate cannot make that statement before the election, voters deserve to know.

What if I change my mind after pledging?

You are free. Always.

If the candidates sign and something changes, if they break their word, if new information comes to light, your vote is still yours. The pledge is not a contract on you. It is a statement of intent. You decide what to do in November.

How do I get involved beyond pledging?

If you want to help spread the word, share the contract with your friends, your family, your community. Talk about it at your local Republican club, your church, your workplace. The more people who pledge, the harder it is to ignore.
