About our Featured Guest Speaker:
Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Byron Donalds is the product of a single-parent household. Throughout his life, his mother made every sacrifice possible to give him the best opportunity to live the American Dream. That philosophy his mother taught him, striving to leave future generations better than the current, is what leads him in his work, his home life, and as a Member of Congress.
Byron attended Florida State University and graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in finance and marketing. Byron’s career path has included working in the finance, insurance, and banking industries in Southwest Florida.
While serving in the Florida House of Representatives, Byron made his mark as a champion for school choice and protecting parental rights in education. Donalds led the effort to enact Hope Scholarships that empowered parents with school choice and passed a first-in-the-nation bill to that allowed parents and community members to review instructional materials in schools. Donalds chaired the prominent House Insurance and Banking Subcommittee, working to improve Florida’s business and insurance policies. Governor Rick Scott also appointed Byron to the Board of Trustees for Florida South Western State College.
Since 2020, Donalds has served the people of Florida’s 19th Congressional District. Congressman Donalds quickly distinguished himself as a conservative warrior on Capitol Hill. In the 119th Congress, Donalds sits on the Oversight and Accountability and Financial Services Committees. As a rising star in the Republican Party, he has stood in the trenches against the rise of woke culture in schools, corporate America, the financial services industry, and our military. Byron is also a staunch advocate for the Second Amendment, School Choice, Fiscal Sanity, Secure Borders, Law and Order, and a Limited Federal Government. He has consistently received the highest ratings possible from conservative groups for his reliable voting record.
Byron Donalds lives in Naples, Florida, with his wife, Erika, and their three sons, Damon, Darin, and Mason.
