Byron Donalds Secures Christian Family Coalition Rating for Governor

The organization, led by founder Anthony Verdugo, evaluates hopefuls through rigorous questionnaires focusing on religious freedom, parental rights, and the sanctity of human life. While the coalition maintains a policy of not issuing formal endorsements, this rating serves as a signal to its base of the candidate's commitment to conservative principles. Verdugo cited the congressman’s consistent support for policies aimed at maintaining Florida's current political trajectory as the primary driver for the assessment.

Donalds, who has represented Florida’s 19th Congressional District since 2021, positioned the rating as a reflection of his personal history and political platform. He noted that his faith has served as a central pillar throughout his tenure in Washington. As he seeks to transition from the U.S. House to the governor’s mansion, the congressman emphasized that he intends to continue defending the traditional values that earned him the coalition’s approval.
