FLORIDA – According to a report from The Post Millennial, a total of 25 school board candidates within Florida who received the backing of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis went on to win their respective races throughout the state.

Governor DeSantis, whose earned praises from conservatives throughout the country whilst simultaneously sparking the ire of leftists, has been a champion of ensuring safe and transparent schools within the Sunshine State – serving as a sort of national symbol to standing against harmful indoctrination permeating through public schools.

The Florida governor wound up giving his endorsement to 30 individuals running for school board seats throughout the state, with 25 of them having won their races. Former Associated Press editor Ted Bridis was among those to acknowledge the stunning victory in the culture war, taking to Twitter on August 23rd to spread the news.

“Whopping 25 of 30 conservative school board candidates endorsed by [Governor Ron DeSantis] win seats across Florida, only five defeated. Will make easier than ever to reimagine classroom politics in public schools.”

One of the more critical series of races among school boards in Florida came with the Sarasota County School Board, which wound up being flipped from a 3-2 liberal majority over to a 4-1 conservative majority via the August 23rd elections.

Fox News reported that Sarasota candidates Bridget Ziegler, Robyn Marinelli, and Timothy Enos had all been backed by Governor DeSantis, with Libs of TikTok having exposed the formerly liberal school board earlier in August for members openly admitting that they were “woke.”

“‘Here in Florida, there are school board members that are woke. We are working from the best strategic spot because we’re working from the inside.’ – [Sarasota School Board] board member”

The 1776 Project PAC also celebrated the victory out of Sarasota County, taking to Twitter on August 23rd with, “BREAKING: All three of our endorsed candidates in Sarasota County, Florida have WON their elections. We just flipped the school board from a 3-2 liberal majority to 4-1 conservative. Congrats to Bridget Ziegler, Robyn Marinelli, and Timothy Enos.”

Sarasota County wasn’t the only school board that was flipped from liberal to conservative either, as the 1776 Project PAC announced that Miami-Dade County also wound up being successfully flipped.

“HUGE: Both of our candidates in Miami Dade County, Florida just WON their elections, flipping the school board conservative. Miami Dade is now the LARGEST county in America with a conservative school board majority. Congrats to Roberto Alonso and Monica Colucci.”
