Dear President Trump:
Being a former businessman, I have always been impressed with job creators, like
yourself, whose labor grow jobs and opportunities for thousands of families. With recent
reports that you are pursuing the development of your own digital media platform, I want
to do everything possible to ensure this new venture happens in Florida.
Thave spent the greater part of my life in business and know what kind of effort it takes
to hire staff, build infrastructure and utilize technology to ensure customers get a great
product at a good price, in the most efficient manner possible. Moreover, as the State’s
Chief Financial Officer, I serve on the Board of Directors of Enterprise Florida, Inc, and
can help provide access to the state’s business development tools. Also as a former Public
Service Commissioner, I can assist with any challenges that may arise related to access to
power that’s critical for supporting technology infrastructure.
Many Floridians are thrilled and excited over the prospect of you pursuing your own
digital platform. The fact is Big Tech went after you like never before. These tech firms
are not being honest brokers in how they deal with the public — they’re using their power
to shutdown conservative voices. It’s not fair. The idea of you launching a platform to
provide conservative voices with a safe space to speak their minds is exactly what our
nation needs,
The fact is you're blessed with a Midas touch, and if you are starting a new tech business,
inevitably there will be competition to go after the golden-goose, and Florida can’t rest
on its laurels. I know you clearly love Florida enough to have left New York, but I also
know that at the end of the day, you're focused on the financials of your enterprise.
Moreover, with California doing everything possible to shut down their businesses, Mar-
a-Lago could become the epicenter of Florida’s technology renaissance.
To that end, I would love the opportunity to connect you and your team with the right
officials for your new business to succeed in Florida. Between Florida’s colleges and
