Governor Ron DeSantis said the new Florida budget caps eight years of conservative leadership and “historic results.” Governor Ron DeSantis signed the Budget for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-2027, a $117.6 billion spending plan and said it reflects nearly eight years of conservative leadership anchored by fiscal discipline, responsible governance, and strategic investment. “Over the last seven and a half years, Florida has set the national standard for conservative governance, while breaking record after record in economic strength, education, and environmental stewardship,” said Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. Governor DeSantis’ commitment to investing in Florida’s future while maintaining fiscal responsibility has transformed every major area of state government. Since taking office, Governor DeSantis has secured nearly $9.5 billion for Everglades restoration and water quality improvements, the largest environmental investment in Florida history.
