Florida: My Story by Rebekah Jones

Rebekah Jones is a Florida scientist and whistleblower who became a national cause célèbre when she exposed the state of Florida for manipulating data during the COVID-19 crisis. Since her ousting by the Florida Governor, Jones has been recognized by professional, academic and medical leaders across the country for her efforts in combating misinformation online.

​

With a background in climate science, geography and disaster response, Jones' research and work centers on scientific research and communication about how climate change impacts extreme weather.

​

Jones fought against personal attacks and smear campaigns orchestrated by the Republican governor, and won international awards and recognition for refusing to be silenced - even after the governor sent state police to raid her family home at gunpoint. She is currently running for US House District 1 against Matt Gaetz.
