Disaster Relief, Development Pressure, and Why Bobby Williams Says Florida Is Full

Bobby Williams, a third-generation Floridian, business owner, and pastor running in the 2026 Republican primary for Florida governor, joins The Current to lay out his campaign. He describes founding the Freedom Tour disaster relief nonprofit in 2016, coordinating food and supply logistics across the state during COVID and after major storms, and why he believes that experience prepares him to run the state as a non-career politician. Williams discusses his opposition to continued rezoning and large-scale development, his stance against data centers, his goal of eliminating property taxes, and his proposals for insurance reform, including mandated claim payment timelines. The conversation also covers bringing trade education into high schools, waste he has observed in disaster response, and his vision for preserving Florida's agricultural character.
