Lower Costs and Create More Jobs for Florida:

Darren opposes increased tariffs and other policies that are increasing the cost of groceries, gasoline, and healthcare. Together, we can lower costs immediately for the American people.

Darren is also fighting for more higher-paying jobs for our region, including in Lake Nona’s Medical City, NeoCity microchip manufacturing, UCF Research Park, and in our NASA/commercial space sector.

He also delivered billions of dollars for airport and highway infrastructure, streamlined travel visa processing, and voted for Brand USA funding to support Central Florida’s world-class tourism destination.

In Lake Nona, Darren voted for UCF Medical School and helped recruit Nemours Hospital. He worked to expand the Lake Nona VA services and deliver a Kissimmee VA clinic for local veterans.

In NeoCity, he secured over $500 million for their Microchip Fabricator, the biggest CHIPS Act project in Florida. These efforts kickstarted over $1 billion in new private microchip manufacturing, research and development in the area.

At UCF Research Park, he delivered funding to UCF Restores, sensors, and simulation and training defense programs.

Darren is an avid supporter of NASA’s Artemis Mission. He continues to champion our efforts to go back to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. He also passed the Launch Communications Act to streamline FCC permitting for commercial space launches by SpaceX, ULA, Blue Origin, and others.
