Florida Democrats join Pennsylvania colleagues to slam Ron DeSantis’ agenda

Shevrin Jones, Anna Eskamani said Florida’s Governor wants to export culture wars nationwide.

As Pennsylvania Democrats ready for a visit from Gov. Ron DeSantis, Florida lawmakers chimed in with warnings.

“We are not a free state,” said state Sen. Shevrin Jones, a Miami Lakes Democrat. “Free states don’t ban books. Free states don’t ban ideas. Free states don’t ban our children from being their true and authentic selves.”

Florida Watch, a progressive group closely watching the Governor’s policies, held a joint press conference with political leaders in the Keystone State. The virtual presser took place a day before DeSantis is expected to speak at the Pennsylvania Leadership Conference.
