Chip Roy Endorses Byron Donalds in Florida's Governor Race

Rep. Chip Roy/ Texas Politics

Texas Congressman Chip Roy (R) has announced his endorsement for Florida Congressman Byron Donalds (R) for Governor, joining a growing list of prominent conservatives backing Donald's Campaign.

Roy's endorsement adds to the momentum building around Donalds, who has already secured support from 17 members of Florida's congressional delegation, 15 Republican sheriffs, 75% of the Republican caucus in the Florida House, and Key conservative figures.

"Byron Donalds is first and foremost my friend," said Roy. "He also is a fearless American First conservative who will protect Florida's freedoms, grow its economy, and lead with strength."

Roy's endorsement from the MAGA stronghold of Texas comes after Donald's record-breaking third-quarter fundraising and strong polling numbers, which show him far ahead of both Republican primary rivals and potential Democratic challengers.

"As governor, he'll work alongside President Trump and all of us to fight for parents, defend liberty, and keep Florida a standard-bearer for conservative leadership," Roy added. "I'm proud to stand with him."

With his deep ties to President Trump and strong conservative credentials, Donalds continues to consolidate support across the GOP base as the frontrunner in the Flordia governor's race.
