Lt. Governor Collins is running for Governor of state of Florida.  His life has been defined by leadership, service, and courage under pressure. After 9/11, he answered the call to serve, earning his place in the U.S. Army Special Forces as a Green Beret medic.  Collins deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, and South America, where he repeatedly demonstrated extraordinary resolve. Wounded in combat, he continued fighting—and even performed surgery on himself during a firefight. Despite injuries that later led to the loss of his leg, Collins refused to quit. He requalified as a fully deployable Green Beret and served five more years on active duty.

After 23 years in uniform, Collins continued his mission at home, helping deliver millions of meals to veterans, first responders, and families in need. His focus remains clear: safer communities, affordability for Florida families, and a stronger future for the next generation.

A lifelong Floridian, Jay Collins and his wife Layla (also a retired veteran) have dedicated their lives to service. We are honored to welcome Jay Collins, candidate for Florida Governor, as our guest speaker and invite you to join us for this important discussion about Florida’s future
