Four presidential candidates -- two from the Sunshine State and two dark horses -- are headed to Orlando to speak at the Republican Party of Florida’s (RPOF) Sunshine Summit in Orlando in November. 

As Florida’s economy continues to recover, voters feel better about the Sunshine State’s future and Gov. Rick Scott’s policies, a new poll shows.

A new poll shows former Gov. Jeb Bush, runs better in Florida against former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton than he does against Donald Trump in Florida, the largest swing state on the map, but the celebrity businessman leads the Republican primary. 

A prominent tea party leader is talking up a Florida congressman as a potential replacement for U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who announced last week that he would leave Congress by the end of October. 

U.S. Rep. Vern Buchanan, R-Fla., wants to get Social Security numbers off of tax documents, including W-2s. The Florida congressman showcased a bill on Monday to allow Americans to use numbers issued by employers instead of Social Security numbers when they file their taxes. Buchanan, who sites on the Ways and Means Committee, said his “Taxpayer Identity Protection Act” would help protect Americans’ data. 

With U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., the GOP whip in Congress, now running to be House majority leader in the shakeup after U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced he was going to give up his seat at the end of October,  a Florida congressman is looking to move up the leadership ladder. 

Now trailing many of the top Republican candidates in Florida polls, in the largest swing state on the map, former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, favorite for the Democratic presidential nomination, will be heading to the Sunshine State this week. 

On Friday, U.S. House John Boehner’s, R-Ohio, resignation took center stage in one of the most competitive congressional elections in Florida. 

Republicans representing Florida in Congress weighed in after U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, announced on Friday that he would resign his post by the end of October.

Ted Yoho continued his career as an unlikely slayer of political giants this week as the North Florida congressman played a large part in John Boehner heading to the sidelines. 

Since emerging in 2012, Yoho has pulled off more than his share of upsets in his brief time in national politics. A large-animal veterinarian based in Gainesville, Yoho, a favorite of the tea party movement, stunned the political world by defeating Cliff Stearns, a 24-year incumbent, in the Republican primary.
