Speaker 1 (00:04):
Your new day starts with the Brian Mudshow, the news
you need to start your morning in the Palm Beaches
and the Treasure Coast.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
As we take a look at Florida's updated voter registration
by party and it has been yet another record run
for the Republican Party over the past month. And actually
a former leader, the former chair of the Florida Republican
Party and also state representative and most recently state senator,
happens to be the new CFO and Chief Marshall for
(00:34):
the state of Florida. Here's Fox's Evan Brown.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is appointing Tampa area State Senator
Blazing Golia to be the state's new Chief Financial Officer, which,
among the officers many tasks, has some oversight of the
state's long pressured housing insurance market. In Goolia helped legislate
reforms leading to lower rates in recent years.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
But if an insurance company does not do what they
say there going to do and contractually obligated to do,
I am going to call you out.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
The role of Florida CFO has been vacant since previous
holder Jimmy Patronis won the special election earlier this year
to replace Matt Gates in the US Congress.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
And as we take a look at the updated voter
registration changes for the most recent month forwarded division of
elections reflecting what we have seen by the end of June,
so heading into July, and it's been dramatic again this year.
Now we have veter registration levels that are down across
the board because it's an awful election year and so
(01:35):
there's not this big catalyst for new voters to register.
And then you also have the cleaning up of better
roles that is still taking place for the year. Democrats
have now dropped two hundred and eighty seven thousand voters,
Republicans have dropped one hundred and twenty six thousand, four hundred.
So you've seen Republicans gain year to date over one
(01:57):
hundred and sixty thousand vot net of Democrats, and that
included fifty eight hundred and fifty five additional gains in
the past month as Democrats dropped many more voters than
Republicans yet again to lead to yet another voter registration
record for Republicans over Democrats in the state that extends
(02:18):
to over one point three million voters. Now that is
nearly a ten point advantage four Republicans, and of florida
sixty seven counties, only eight currently have Democrat majorities by
way of voter registration. So it is clear that the
trends that were in place, have been in place, are
still in place as we head down the home stretch
(02:40):
the backside of this year
