Florida House District 53

Proven Conservative Leadership. Real Results.

A U.S. Navy veteran and business CEO bringing executive discipline to Tallahassee.

Why Now

Business Discipline. Public Accountability.

"Government exists to protect our freedom and spend taxpayer dollars wisely, not expand its own footprint. We brought business discipline to the County Commission, and I'll bring that same accountability to Tallahassee." Brian Hawkins

Brian Hawkins isn't a career politician. He's a local business owner and CEO who signs the front of checks. He manages real operations, real payrolls, and real budgets every single day. That private sector discipline is exactly what Florida's House is missing.

After serving his country in the U.S. Navy in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, Brian came home, built successful businesses, and created local jobs. When he was elected to the Hernando County Commission, he didn't trade his business instincts for bureaucratic habits. He uses those instincts to manage public budgets the way a responsible executive should.

The results speak for themselves: the largest property tax reduction in Florida, county debt slashed to less than 3%, and a government forced to live within its means. Brian is running for the Florida House to bring those exact same structural fiscal reforms like rollback discipline, debt reduction, and real transparency from the county level to the state capitol. Florida deserves experienced conservative leadership that delivers results, not just promises.

What I'll Fight For in Tallahassee

1Brian Hawkins speaking at a community event

Lower Taxes. Smaller Government.

Government should live within its means, just like Florida families.

Brian will cut taxes, eliminate wasteful spending, slash unnecessary red tape and regulations, and protect taxpayers from government overreach, applying the same rollback discipline he proved at the county level.

2Brian Hawkins at a local worksite

Protect Florida Workers

Close the E-Verify Loopholes.

Brian will push legislation making subcontractors and independent contractors, not just primary employers, comply with E-Verify. Every layer of contracting plays by the rules, so legal Florida workers aren't undercut and jobs go to those authorized to work.

3Brian Hawkins with law enforcement officers

Back the Blue

Standing with those who keep us safe.

Brian proudly stands with law enforcement, firefighters, and first responders. He supports policies that give them the resources they need to protect our communities while holding violent criminals fully accountable.

Grow Florida's Economy

A CEO who knows what actually creates jobs.

Drawing on real business-owner experience, Brian will lower barriers for small businesses, reduce red tape, strengthen local infrastructure, and keep Florida the best state in America to live, work, and raise a family.

5Brian Hawkins at a conservative rally

Protect Constitutional Freedoms

Government exists to protect our rights, not restrict them.

Brian will be an unwavering defender of the constitutional freedoms that make Florida great:

  • Second Amendment rights
  • First Amendment freedoms
  • Private property rights
  • Fourth Amendment protections
  • Religious liberty
  • Parents' rights
The Hawkins family
Fighting for Florida's Families

A Husband, Father, and Neighbor

Brian and his family call Hernando County home. As a husband and father, he's fighting for the same thing every Florida family wants: safe communities, low taxes, strong schools, and the freedom to build a good life.

He's the local employer down the road, the veteran who served, and the commissioner who answers to the taxpayers, not the bureaucracy.
