Bryan Avila

You know what people are talking about more than anything else? They want to make sure they can afford Florida.

All right, along for the ride, Donald's running mate, Senator Brian Avila, and Senator Ashley Moody.

Meanwhile, his Democratic opponent, David Jolly, joined former Senator Bill Nelson for a news conference calling for a moratorium on data centers.

Over 100,000 Ukrainians and Sudanese can remain in the United States, and they won't have to worry about any immediate risk of deportation.

Getting harder and harder every day, right? Yeah.

Donald's was joined by his running mate, Senator Brian Avila and Senator Ashley Moody.

Meanwhile, Democratic candidate for governor, David Jolly, is holding a press conference this afternoon in Orlando with former Senator Bill Nelson calling for a moratorium on on data centers that's not all bernie sanders calls the upcoming election quote the most important midterm election in modern american history and quote the vermont senator brought that message to florida while campaigning with uh... democratic u s senate candidate angie nixon sanders and nixon held rallies in tampa Melbourne, Gainesville and Tallahassee over the weekend just before early voting began.

Nixon is challenging Republican Senator Ashley Moody and says she would focus on issues including health care, affordable housing and the cost of living.

Senate Bill 44 is now law in Florida.

My running mate, Bryan Avila, actually passed this law.

It's his bill.

He's my running mate now.

What it calls for is that local governments are gonna have the authority on whether a data center is built or not, because communities should decide that.

These are massive, uh, uh, structures on a big footprint Local communities should decide if it's gonna be in their community or not, and we wanna respect that.

So this is going to have an impact on the election.

Byron Donalds' LG nominee, Senator Brian Avila, is an active member of the National Guard and was called up for duty yesterday.

And so I don't think it's going to impact the election so much, but it is a reminder of his service, first of all, that this is important.

This is what we deal with.

Mr.

Chairman, uh, we were planning to speak with your lieutenant governor nominee, Brian Avila, this evening, but he has been called to duty for his National Guard unit in response to the hurricane bearing down on my community in the Florida Panhandle.

Uh, your reaction first to, uh, having Senator Avila off the campaign trail now in uniform assisting the Florida Panhandle.

Well, this is always a risk in Florida around election season.

We don't really have an election without some kind of hurricane threat.

But I think this goes to show the kind of patriot that Brian Avila is, that he's willing to step up, serve his country.

And he was already elected in office when he decided to sign up and serve in the National Guard, and I think this is his third deployment in the National Guard.

So we're excited for his service, but we're excited to get him back on the campaign trail afterwards.

The survey tests the full tickets.

Donald and former state Senator Brian Avila against jolly and former Congresswoman Gwen Graham.

Donald's takes 87% of Republicans.

Jolly takes 85% of Democrats.

Jay, who is the Republican nominee in Florida for LG?

For LG, that's going to be Brian Avila.

He's a Miami Republican state senator.

Been eight years in the House where he was pro-temp, and then has been in the Senate as part of my class for roughly four years.

So, but, but they, they wouldn't utter a word because that was Trump's golden boy, and, "Oh, we can't talk." In other words, they're only big talkers when the ball's not in play.

So Byron Donalds' running mate, Brian Avila, walks out in Kissimmee to this, uh, cha-cha music, and then gives his entire speech in Spanish.

Like, dude, that, that's your guy.

Your guy did that.

These are Republican voters.

This was at an event for Brian Avila, who is a lieutenant governor running with Byron Donalds in Tampa, Florida, and they're expressing some uneasiness.

So let's hear from them.

If you have a flip-flop state, with respect, you know, I'm...

So one of the things that we do at the Miami Independent is we we promote independent conservative Republican candidates.

and we're seeing a rise of that they're going to be three special elections after the general election because there were uh the one uh the sec uh state senator brian avila was picked as the uh lieutenant governor so whether he wins or not his seat is open so there are two state reps We're going to be running for it.

And then there are going to be other people running for those two state rep positions.

So we'll see how much excitement can be ginned up for that special election.
