295 days ago, I was sworn in as Florida’s 12th Commissioner of Agriculture & Consumer Services and the first female elected to this office.
The people didn’t elect me to continue the status quo — but to take a fresh approach to governing and a new direction for our state. #APFL

Since January, I've worked to modernize @FDACS & take action on priority issues important to the people:
Building a new state hemp program — providing farmers with a successful alternative crop, ensuring equal economic opportunity, & making Florida a national leader on hemp.

I promised to fix the failures of weapons licensing & did just that.
We changed the culture: a 30-year law enforcement veteran runs the Division & we hired 25 new staff.
Review times for gun permits are down by up to 98%, while ensuring all background checks are done, period.

With @TheMasters in town, @GovKemp * is trying to hide his anti-women, anti-business policy agenda from the world. But, @GeorgiaDemocrat s aren't giving up and we will keep calling out @GovKemp * and @GaRepublicans . 2/

THREAD: @taylourmarks and I spent the last two days in Panama City, and I’m still processing everything we saw. One main lesson learned: It’s been 4 months since #HurricaneMichael, and the Panhandle is years away from recovery.
Years might sound dramatic but the estimate for rebuilding Tyndall Air Force Base — which is related to a third of Bay County’s economic activity — is five years.
This isn’t even mentioning more issues yet to come (i.e. when hurricane victims are evicted from the beach for Spring Breakers, when the school year end and population declines, hurricane season).

These people view the pyramid upside down. FEMA is NOT a first responder. YOU are.

(2) My credentials? When the Christchurch, NZ earthquake of 2/22/11 struck, I was sure I was about to die. 185 others in my city did.
I've spent years personally & professionally studying emergency management best practices.

(3) "When is help coming?" Help came when the NWS first saw Hurricane Michael form in the gulf 7 days before he hit. Others had time to evacuate, why didn't you?
Car broken down? Nowhere to go? No money? Couldn't convince a loved one to leave?
Excuses, not reasons.

While Trump tweets about how unfairly NBC has treated him, Americans are still trapped in the rubble of #HurricaneMichael.
There's so much rubble, the official death toll of 15 is expected to rise as search-and-rescue teams look for the missing. #AMJoy

“If anyone is seeing this and can help, my disabled sister lives in Panama City. Before her phone went out she told me the roof and walls blew off and a tree has fallen on them trapping them inside the remainder of the house.” #AmJoy #Sundaymorning

Just finished up a tour of #HurricaneMichael damaged areas in Geneva & Houston Counties. Saw lots of wind damage, downed power lines & debris. Crews are steadily working to assist those in southeast AL.@AlabamaEMA
I was pleased to see neighbors helping neighbors in addition to the great work these crews are doing to get things operating as normal. It definitely takes a team when such a large cleanup remains. Appreciate the work of the local EMAs, power crews, first responders & others.
Residents in affected areas please be advised to stay clear of downed power lines & assume they’re live. Proceed with caution at intersections. And most of all never operate generators in or too close to your home because of the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning.
(1) #HW #PhotoThread 1 on #HurricaneMichael. Just a small fraction of the available photos so far. Drone footage on Day 2 is showing incredible before & after photos of the destroyed beach towns. Please help those affected as much as you can. And #AlwaysBePrepping. Mexico Beach:
(2) Not everyone affected was a wealthy Florida panhandle retiree. Don't assume they all made poor decisions. This monster hurricane will take a long time to recover from, and there could be another one this bad this season or next year. People need to pull together.
(3) Not all my hurricane photos are depressing. I smiled about this little family in a shelter the night before landfall. I miss being capable of sleeping in this position on a floor in a fully lit room. Disaster survivors have moments of fun & love among the challenges.
But seriously, this #Khashoggi story is scary. Jared Kushner is biffles with the crown prince and his father in law calls the press the “enemy of the people.” We need answers to this.
Like, people are over here listening to Kanye West give a soliloquy in the Oval Office while Kush sits there smiling to the camera. This is the news story today. Swift vs West II.
A hurricane hit Florida that Florida has never seen before. In OCTOBER. And the lower third is a Kanye quote that says Drumpf “saved the planet” days after the UN said we’re all dead in 20 years. Not 2,000, not 200, 20.
At @AlabamaEMA, getting briefed by our Emergency Operations Team. They’ve been closely coordinating with our state partners & @fema to ensure preparedness & recovery efforts are in place as #HurricaneMichael impacts AL.
I’ve signed a request for an emergency declaration from @POTUS allowing preemptive federal assistance for debris removal, more generators and other resources. @AlabamaEMA
Talked with several different agency personnel on the EOC floor at @AlabamaEMA about what we should expect in the coming hours from #HurricaneMichael.
Well, since you asked, @rough_mac, here's what we did for Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.

Here's a thread about what *really* happened w/FEMA, the USCG, and the Trump administration after Hurricane Maria.
Just taking a minute away from volunteering with @CEDRdigital to help with disaster response during #HurricaneMichael to answer this bot's stupid question about what we have ever done to help any hurricane victims.

I’ve issued a State of Emergency in anticipation of wide-spread power outages, wind damage and debris produced by high winds & heavy rain associated with #HurricaneMichael. See the full SOE at governor.alabama.gov.
On the state level we are prepared, now is the time for residents in south Alabama to review your emergency preparedness plans and also get prepared. Go to readyalabama.gov for more info on how to create & execute a preparedness plan.
Additionally, you can text “ALALERT” to 888777 to receive information for #HurricaneMichael from the @AlabamaEMA.
Friends we need your prayers for this upcoming #HurricaneMichael! Please keep us in your prayers daily. We at this point are right in the path of this. This time if it hits us, we could lose power for days.
This would effect Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and possibly Virginia. Its expected to be a Cat. 2 and possibly 3. We have a generator. Hoping there is no price gouging.
The @weatherchannel will be giving updates as it gets closer.
