Matt Gaetz Teases Run for Governor

Pensacola, FL (Newsradio 92.3) -- What's next for District 1's former Congressman Matt Gaetz? It could be the Governor's office. Gaetz now says he's considering a run for Governor in 2026. Governor DeSantis would be ineligible to run for another term after this term is up. Gaetz told the Tampa Bay Times that he would work on fixing the states in surance industry, and said he would be the most pro-consumer candidate on the Republican side. Other names that have been rumored for the nomination include Representative Byron Donalds, Ag Commissioner Wilton Simpson, and Attorney General Ashley Moody. Gaetz' Congressional career ended with an abrupt resignation in November -- he had been nominated for President-elect Trump's Attorney General but withdrew from consideration for that job as well. He was recording 'Cameo' videos and planning to work as a TV commentator on OAN.
