FDP Chair Nikki Fried Slams Ron DeSantis’s Property Insurance Failure
Today, after failing to act over four years in office and two special sessions, Ron DeSantis revealed that he has no plan to address Florida’s property insurance crisis at a press conference in Fort Myers. In response, Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried released the following statement:
“Because Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans chose to use two legislative sessions to line the pockets of insurance companies, instead of helping homeowners, Floridians are getting ripped off by property insurance companies who are slashing their payouts and even refusing to cover Hurricane Ian damages altogether. People in southwest Florida are still desperately waiting for their homes to be rebuilt and repaired, and some are even having to cover those costs completely out of pocket. Instead of coming up with a plan to deliver property insurance relief to Floridians, Ron DeSantis would rather spend his time making up culture wars and traveling across the country to chase the MAGA base.”
