In a news release for the Remove Ron political committee, Uhlfelder called DeSantis a “danger” who wants to run for president.
"Since taking office, Governor Ron DeSantis has failed the people of Florida. Time and again, he has refused to acknowledge or address the most pressing and desperate challenges we face as a state," sas Uhlfedler. "Now, with over twenty-six thousand Floridians dead as a result of the unchecked spread of COVID-19, DeSantis is getting ready to launch his reelection campaign. The plain and simple truth is that Florida cannot afford another four years of Ron DeSantis. His record of failure does not deserve a second chance – it deserves a principled response. It’s time for new leadership. It’s time for competent governance. It’s time to Remove Ron.”
An organizational statement filed at the state Division of Elections said there are no issues “at this time” the committee is supporting or opposing, while a list of people who will be supported is “to be determined.”
