Scott Henderson, a Florida resident, expressed concerns about Daniel Perez’s acceptance of union campaign donations and allegations of contract corruption. He said these actions contrast sharply with reforms that have reduced rates and strengthened the state’s reputation for accountability. Henderson made this statement on X.
“While DeSantis was trying to keep the ports open in this state,” said Henderson. “Daniel Perez was taking campaign contributions from the Longshoreman Union. Daniel doesn’t deserve to be running as Attorney General of Florida. He should be investigated by the AG for FDOT contract corruption.”
Florida’s 2023 reform law, HB 837, has significantly reshaped civil litigation by tightening bad-faith rules, shortening negligence deadlines, and revising damage evidence. According to Gallagher Re, these measures aim to lower insurance and legal costs by reducing litigation volumes, improving reinsurer confidence, and stabilizing property and auto insurance markets. This positions Florida as a model for nationwide affordability reform.
Following the 2023 reforms, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation reported that the state’s top five auto insurers filed for an average -6.5% rate change for 2025 compared with +31.7% in 2023 and +4.3% in 2024. Regulators attribute these shifts to improved claims predictability and lower legal costs resulting from the legislation.
Campaign-finance disclosures indicate that Florida House Speaker Daniel Perez’s political action committee (PAC), Conservatives for a Better Florida, raised $584,251 in the fourth quarter of 2023. Contributions included $100,000 from Publix and $50,000 from Centene, with nearly $2.8 million cash on hand. No trial-bar or labor-union contributions were listed for that quarter.
Henderson is recognized for his public engagement and interest in state-level issues. His background reflects the perspectives of long-term Floridians who are civically active and invested in ongoing discussions about reform and governance within the state.
The State of Florida administers its 2023 reforms through its bicameral Legislature and executive agencies such as the Office of Insurance Regulation and the Commission on Ethics. The Division of Elections oversees campaign-finance transparency under Chapter 106 of state law to ensure implementation and accountability of reform measures.
