Taking a detour from his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination, Gov. Ron DeSantis blasted “failed” federal policies on Tuesday while hailing Florida as a “refuge for freedom and sanity” during his State of the State speech to the Legislature.

In the coming year, DeSantis has proposed $1.1 billion in tax cuts for families, tax relief for small businesses and more efforts to cut the cost of homeowners insurance. The rising costs of homeowners insurance premiums has been deemed a crisis by some observers, since Florida’s state-owned insurer, Citizens Property Insurance Corp., has been taking on a higher share of policies over the past year.

“Florida’s state-backed insurer of last resort, Citizens Property Insurance Corp, now holds 1.26 million policies and has the largest market share – 15% – of any Florida insurer,” U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) said in a recent Tweet.
