Republican Party of Florida Chairman Evan Power warned attendees at the Bradford GOP Patriots Dinner not to rest on past successes, but to focus on the next election.
Evan Power joined other GOP heavyweights Congressman and gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeyer, and State CFO Blaise Ingoglia for the annual Starke fundraiser at the Gov. Charley E. Johns Conference Center on Friday, August 29.
Power highlighted the Republican Party’s landslide 2024 election wins, noting a 14-point victory margin for Donald Trump over Kamala Harris, the largest since 1988.
However, he quickly shifted focus to the future, declaring, “The next election is the most important election.”
He warned that Democrats are eager to challenge Republican dominance in the Sunshine State, which he described as “the center of everything” in national politics, citing the elevation of figures like Joe Gruters to RNC Chairman.
Power’s boldest claim was the potential to “eliminate” the Democratic Party in Florida, criticizing their policies on issues like gender in sports and education as out of touch with voters.
“If you’re a Democrat in the state of Florida, we’re coming after you,” Power declared, urging supporters to “buckle up” for an intense election cycle.
