The Vault Expert with Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins From Special Forces to Florida Governor Candidate
In this episode of The Vault Expert, Patti sits down with Lieutenant Governor Jay Collins, candidate for Governor of Florida, Army Special Forces veteran, and public servant, to discuss the experiences that shaped his life and his vision for Florida’s future.
Jay’s story is not one of privilege or political connections. He shares how he grew up in a hardworking family, the challenges he faced along the way, and the path that ultimately led him to serve in the United States Army Special Forces. From military service to public leadership, Jay discusses the lessons he’s learned about perseverance, accountability, and serving something larger than yourself.
During our conversation, we explore some of the biggest issues facing Florida today, including housing affordability, economic growth, infrastructure, responsible development, wildlife conservation, and the importance of keeping Florida a great place to live, work, and raise a family.
We also discuss why veterans bring a unique perspective to leadership, how younger generations can become more engaged in their communities, and why asking tough questions is an important part of the democratic process.
Topics Covered:
• Jay Collins’ upbringing and personal story
• Service in the U.S. Army Special Forces
• Leadership lessons learned through military service
• Why veterans should get involved in public service
• Florida’s housing market and affordability challenges
• Economic development and local communities
• Data centers and infrastructure growth
• Wildlife, conservation, and responsible development
• Civic engagement and the next generation of leaders
• Jay Collins’ vision for the future of Florida
As many listeners know, I am supporting Jay Collins in his campaign for Governor of Florida. This conversation gave me the opportunity to ask questions about the issues Floridians care about most and to learn more about the experiences that have shaped his approach to leadership.
