Governor Ron DeSantis Speaks at Pennsylvania Leadership Conference

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) was the keynote speaker at the 2023 Pennsylvania Leadership Conference, a conservative event held near the commonwealth’s capital of Harrisburg. During his remarks, he talked about what he viewed as highlights of his first term in office as governor, which he said propelled him to a decisive second-term victory in 2022. The governor spoke about his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and early lifting of business and personal restrictions, as well as his efforts to shift curriculum in the state’s schools and universities. Governor DeSantis also briefly mentioned the indictment of former President Donald Trump, saying Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg was “straining” to bring felony charges. close
