AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoFlorida Politics & Cost of Living: Florida’s 2026 governor’s race is being framed around affordability—especially inflation, housing, and property insurance—as Republican Byron Donalds leads Democrat David Jolly in fundraising and polling ahead of the Aug. 18 primary. Campaign Finance & Media Strategy: Both campaigns are leaning harder on digital and social spending to reach younger voters, even as TV and media buys still dominate statewide budgets. Banking, Housing & Consumer Risk: A Florida condo inspection report flags major gaps—thousands of required inspections not completed—raising new pressure on insurers and homeowners. Aerospace & Jobs: Northrop Grumman opened a 300,000-square-foot engineering facility in Melbourne, supporting about 8,000 jobs statewide and expanding secure aircraft design capacity. Conservation & Land Values: Volusia County bought a 14-acre Halifax River parcel to expand Ormond Beach’s Highbridge Park, adding parking and improving public access while protecting a connected conservation corridor. Food Security & SNAP: New SNAP mandates are already cutting participation sharply, with millions losing food aid access—an issue likely to ripple into Florida’s local nonprofit and banking-adjacent community support systems.
