Ron DeSantis

The statement contrasts Florida's transportation priorities with those of the Biden Administration, emphasizing a focus on expedited construction timelines and criticizing the federal focus on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI), and environmental policies. The statement positions Florida's approach as practical and infrastructure-focused, while portraying the federal approach as ideologically driven and impractical.

1. Principle 1:

   I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.

   The statement does not appear to cause harm but does use divisive language that could polarize opinions.
2. Principle 2:

   I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.

   Respect for privacy and dignity is maintained, though the statement could be seen as dismissive towards those who value DEI and environmental policies. [-1]
3. Principle 3:

   I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.

   The statement lacks a tone of empathy and compassion towards differing viewpoints, particularly those supporting DEI and the Green New Deal. [-1]
4. Principle 4:

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.

   The statement engages in a form of dialogue but does so in a manner that could be seen as confrontational rather than constructive. [-1]
5. Principle 5:

   I will acknowledge and correct my mistakes.

   There is no indication of acknowledgment or correction of mistakes; the statement is assertive and one-sided.
6. Principle 6:

   I will use my influence for the betterment of society.

   The use of influence to promote a specific agenda is evident, but it may not necessarily be for the betterment of society as a whole, given the divisive tone. [-1]
7. Principle 7:

   I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.

   The statement upholds free speech but may not use the platform with complete integrity, given the potential for spreading division. [-1]
