MIAMI (March 17, 2025) - The Miami Young Republicans, one of Florida’s most influential political organizations, announces the official endorsement of Congressman Byron Donalds for Governor of Florida. Following a historic 2024 election that saw Miami-Dade County vote for a Republican president for the first time since 1988 and sweep partisan countywide seats, the club is capitalizing on its momentum as it initiates an early strategy to continue delivering conservative victories in Miami-Dade County and statewide in 2026.
“Since starting his political career as a Young Republican, Congressman Donalds has exemplified a strong work ethic and conservative values that reflect the best in our club,” said Tony Figueroa, president of the Miami Young Republicans. “During his time in Congress, he has stood firm representing his district and the good that Florida stands for, serving as a true patriot in our nation’s capital. We look forward to working alongside his campaign and delivering victory in his gubernatorial race.”
A proven conservative, Congressman Donalds has been an advocate of numerous issues important to Floridians across all demographics. His views on supporting school choice and parental empowerment, pro-life policies, and environmental stewardship, among others have demonstrated his understanding of what matters most to Floridians and the work needed to keep the Sunshine State on a strong path.
Miami Young Republicans were the first and only club in Miami to welcome Congressman Donalds in August of 2023, introducing him to members and the general community in a standing room event that showcased the level of excitement for America First patriots. In October of that year, the club endorsed Congressman Donalds during his run for Speaker of the House.
Looking ahead to the 2026 election cycle, the Miami Young Republicans are taking an early start in grassroots activism with efforts that include voter outreach, registration, events, and fundraising to support candidates across all levels of government.
