Byron Donalds: Why Florida Got So Expensive

About this episode

Sage Steele calls in for an in-depth conversation with Congressman Byron Donalds, currently running for Florida's next governor, just 49 days before election day. Byron opens up about growing up poor in Brooklyn, the sacrifices his mother made to keep him in school even while the family relied on food stamps, and the moment at 20 years old, after being arrested a second time, that he says saved his life: looking himself in the mirror and deciding to change. He shares how his now-wife Erica brought him to church, how he gave his life to Christ at 21, and what he tells his three sons about the mistakes he made as a young man. Byron and Sage also discuss what it means to be a black conservative in today's political climate, his affordability plan for Florida's rising insurance, housing, and healthcare costs, his approach to AI data centers, and his vision for the state if elected. A candid, wide-ranging conversation on The Sage Steele Show. New episodes every week. The views and claims expressed are the candidate's own.
