President’s Message
Dear Friends,
What an extraordinary year it’s been for liberty in the Sunshine State.
This past Legislative Session brought tremendous achievements for Florida—and with your support, The James Madison Institute stood at the heart of the action.
Together, we championed bold reforms that promoted educational freedom, fought to protect consumers in Florida’s evolving property insurance landscape, and remained vigilant in safeguarding innovation against burdensome government overreach. These aren’t just policy wins—they are proof that principles still matter.
Because of your generosity, JMI is stronger than ever. Our team continues to grow as we keep up with the ever-changing demands of a dynamic state and a nation that wants to be more like Florida!
This year, our research has informed key debates both in the Florida Capitol and around the country, our scholars have been featured in major state and national media outlets, and our events have welcomed new faces to Florida’s liberty movement—all made possible by you.
As we look ahead, your continued partnership will allow us to keep defending the ideals that built this great state and country. I look forward to celebrating with many of you at our upcoming gatherings—and to building a freer Florida together.
Onward together,
J. Robert McClure III, Ph.D.
President and CEO
