The Everglades Trust endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds for Florida governor, citing his conservation record. Donalds welcomed the endorsement and pledged to prioritize water quality; his campaign also described a proposed Florida Coastal Corridor.
The Everglades Trust endorsed Byron Donalds for governor, citing his support for Everglades restoration funding and involvement in Lake Okeechobee water-management decisions. The group’s CEO, Anna Upton, said Donalds could maintain Gov. Ron DeSantis’s restoration efforts. Donalds welcomed the endorsement and said water quality and natural resources would be central to his platform.
The article says Donalds had recently announced the Florida Coastal Corridor, a proposal to connect protected coastal waters with inland river networks. According to his campaign, it would rely on voluntary land acquisitions and create no new agencies or regulations or restrictions on fishing or public access.

4 OUTLETSThe Everglades Trust endorsed Byron Donalds for Florida governor, and Donalds said he would work to complete Everglades restoration if elected. Center outlets largely focus on the endorsement and Donalds’s restoration and water-quality plans, though the Miami Herald covers a debate over Black voters’ support. Right-leaning outlets pair the endorsement with coverage of Donalds’s attack on David Jolly and questions about whether Ron DeSantis will campaign for him.
