Byron Donalds grew up in Brooklyn, New York, and he is also the proud son of a hardworking and loving single mother. His mother dedicated her time instilling in him that greatness requires sacrifice, which drives him as a devoted family man and United States Congressman.
Byron is a graduate of Florida State University and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in finance and marketing. Byron's career led him to Southwest Florida, where he worked in the banking, finance, and insurance industries. Elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2016, Byron represented Hendry County and east Collier County in the State Capitol. During his tenure in the Florida House, Byron served as the PreK-12 Quality Subcommittee Chair during the 2018-2019 Legislative Session and served as the Insurance & Banking Subcommittee's Chairman 2019-2020 Legislative Session. While serving in the Florida House, primarily focused on elder affairs, criminal justice reform, and ensuring that each child has access to a world-class education.
The federal government is long overdue for a federal tax policy that benefits the average American. Until our nation changes how we as a country approach the federal tax code, the federal government will continue to redistribute wealth at an alarmingly high rate, which is a page straight out of the failed European Socialism agenda.
As a fiscal conservative with an extensive background in finance and banking, I support a simplified tax code that will stimulate private sector investment, individual wealth creation, reduce bureaucratic red-tape, and promote job creation.
