Today, if the word progressive is brought up in conversation, it is likely that your mind goes straight to politics.

In Florida, we have a well-intentioned Governor who has said that he doesn’t want Critical Race Theory (CRT) taught to our kids.

Thankfully, their base, along with many other Americans, is engaged and passionate about issues like education, crime and election security. They are ready to send Democrats packing.
