Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) is the subject of my latest Townhall column. Here’s an excerpt:
Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) is determined to make a lasting impact in the House of Representatives.
The freshman lawmaker, who represents Florida’s 19th Congressional District, recently made waves delivering his first House floor speech.
Unsurprisingly, the newcomer is also doing his part to shape the GOP’s future—leading by example in Washington.
During the 2020 election, Donalds won a crowded primary to succeed outgoing Congressman Francis Rooney (R-FL). In November, he handily defeated his Democrat challenger 61.3% to 38.7%.
With private sector experience and two terms in the Florida House of Representatives under his belt, Rep. Donalds’ perspective will be welcomed. His conservative principles will similarly guide his votes—especially on the House Budget, Small Business, and Oversight Committees.
I recently chatted with the new congressman about navigating the inner workings of Congress, his top legislative priorities, and why creative disruption is inevitable in politics.
