Byron Donalds Takes Florida Campaign Bus Tour to Fort Pierce

Florida gubernatorial candidate and Congressman Byron Donalds brought his statewide campaign bus tour to Fort Pierce, Florida, on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, meeting supporters at Indian River State College's Eastman Workforce Center as he sought to increase voter turnout ahead of Election Day.

Donalds was joined by his running mate for lieutenant governor, Bryan Avila, Congressman Brian Mast, State Senator Erin Grall, and other lawmakers. According to the campaign's message during the stop, mobilizing voters remained a central priority in the final stretch of the election campaign.

Donalds said the campaign was concentrating on encouraging more people to vote.

"I think for us we're just focused on making sure we drive turnout to the polls," Donalds said.

The campaign began Tuesday's bus tour leg in Melbourne before traveling to Fort Pierce. Donalds and Avila greeted supporters outside the campaign bus, where they spoke with attendees and posed for photographs.

Donalds described the bus tour as a way to maintain direct contact with voters throughout the state and demonstrate the campaign's ongoing efforts to earn support.

"We show up, we stand outside, we take pictures with you, sign the bus, we have conversations with the voters. We've been consistently doing that for months now on the campaign trail. We're going to continue to do it every single day. I think the symbolism of the bus tour, it just helps people know that you're out here working hard for their vote and you want their support," Donalds said.

He also highlighted affordability for Florida residents and opportunities for younger generations as priorities for his campaign, specifically mentioning seniors and working families.

"We want our kids to achieve the Florida dream for themselves. We want to make sure it's affordable for our seniors and our working families in our state. That's what we've been laser focused on this entire time. We haven't gotten off of that," Donalds said.

Following the Fort Pierce appearance, Donalds concluded Tuesday's campaign bus tour stops with a visit to Miami, continuing his statewide effort to connect with voters before Election Day.
