DON'T MISS THIS EVENT!

Wednesday, April 15, 2026

Jay Collins, Florida’s Lieutenant Governor and decorated Green Beret, is running for governor in 2026, emphasizing leadership, veterans’ support, and conservative policies.

Jay is a Republican politician and retired U.S. Army Special Forces veteran. He served over 23 years in the Army, including deployments to Afghanistan, Iraq, and South America, and continued active service for five years after losing a leg in combat. His military decorations include the Legion of Merit, Soldier's Medal, Bronze Star, and Purple Heart.

Jay moved to Florida in 2018 and was elected to the Florida Senate in 2022, representing parts of Hillsborough County. He sponsored legislation on permitless carry of firearms, child labor laws, and public safety initiatives, and secured over $120 million in funding for regional development, veterans, and education. In August 2025, he was appointed the 21st Lieutenant Governor of Florida by Governor Ron DeSantis.

Collins announced his candidacy for governor in January 2026, positioning himself as a successor to DeSantis and emphasizing his readiness to lead from "day one" due to his military and executive experience. He faces a crowded Republican primary, including Congressman Byron Donalds (endorsed by Donald Trump), former House Speaker Paul Renner, Bobby Williams, Charles Burkett and investor James Fishback, as well as Democratic contenders like Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings and former Congressman David Jolly.
