Governor DeSantis Unveils Statue of James Madison in Madison County

Published | Video Starts at 21:51

So it's a proud history that's worth not only studying, but worth celebrating. And we're doing that here today. And we've been doing that for the balance of this year. I was able to get from Mount Vernon a statue of George Washington that we are now displaying in the Florida State Capitol. So when you walk in, if you want to go to the governor's office, you got to pass GW there. And it's beautiful statute. And it was something that we needed the permission to get. (21:51–22:00)
