In a Fox News interview, school board member Cindy Spray thanked the governor for the endorsement, including how it resonated with Florida voters.
“The support I got from Governor Desantis is what put us over the edge. His view of how we need to stay back to the basics of education aligned with what I had viewed. It was tremendous and quite humbling to get that kind of endorsement from somebody… America’s governor.” Spray told Fox.

The school board members, along with Desantis, won races across the state of Florida for their argument of giving rights back to the parents in the classroom, including Desantis signing the Parental Rights in Education Act earlier this year.
