Tallahassee, Fla. — Americans for Prosperity-Florida State Director Skylar Zander released the following statement following Governor DeSantis’ announcement that he is prioritizing reforms that hold unions accountable.

“We applaud Governor DeSantis for making it a priority of his administration to empower individuals over organizations when it comes to union membership in Florida. With his leadership, the Governor is honoring the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Janus v. AFSCME case that protected public employees’ First Amendment rights. Hardworking Americans deserve the freedom to choose whether they want to join a union and how their dues are collected, and we commend the Governor for fighting for that freedom here in Florida.”
