We’ve updated the #COVID19 schools data that @GovRonDeSantis didn’t want you to see — and the truth remains the same.

School districts requiring masks from the first day of school saw 𝟮.𝟲 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 #COVID19 total cases per capita than school districts that didn’t. School districts without mask requirements saw 𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙬𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 #COVID19 total cases per capita as school districts that required masks with only a medical opt-out.

.@GovRonDeSantis told us that masks in schools don’t work vs. #COVID19, even defunding school districts that require masks.

He’s lying to you.

The data DeSantis has blocked actually shows up to 7 times less cases in schools with masks.

See it yourself: 1drv.ms/x/s!AucBHDdBrR… School districts that required masks from the first day of school — @AlachuaSchools, @browardschools, @MDCPS — saw 𝟯.𝟱 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 𝙡𝙚𝙨𝙨 #COVID19 total cases per capita than school districts that didn’t require masks.

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.
