U.S. Congressman Chip Roy (R-Texas), a prominent conservative voice and member of the House Freedom Caucus, today officially endorsed fellow Republican Byron Donalds for Governor of Florida.
The endorsement further bolsters Donalds’ campaign momentum, which he is leveraging against both primary rivals and potential Democratic opponents.
Congressman Roy’s backing adds a key endorsement from the MAGA stronghold of Texas and highlights Donalds’ appeal among national conservative figures.
Roy joins a rapidly expanding list of high-profile supporters, including seventeen members of Florida’s congressional delegation, fifteen top Florida sheriffs, 75% of the Republican caucus in the Florida House, U.S. House Leadership, and numerous leading Florida and national conservatives.

“Byron Donalds is first and foremost, my friend,” Congressman Roy stated regarding his endorsement. “He also is a fearless America First conservative who will protect Florida’s freedoms, grow its economy, and lead with strength.”
Roy emphasized that a Donalds governorship would align closely with national conservative goals. “As Governor, he’ll work alongside President Trump and all of us to fight for parents, defend liberty, and keep Florida a standard-bearer for conservative leadership. I’m proud to stand with him.”
The endorsement from Texas follows a period of significant success for the Donalds campaign, marked by a monster Q3 fundraising haul and internal polling that reportedly shows him crushing current and potential Republican primary opponents while also leading by wide margins against Democrat opponents.
The news further underscores the narrative that Donalds is consolidating support across the conservative movement, positioning him as the clear front-runner as the race for Florida Governor heats up.
