Congressman Byron Donalds, representing Florida’s 19th district, has been active on social media addressing various issues related to regulatory practices and education reform. Through his tweets, he communicates his stance on the need for regulatory clarity in financial markets and advocates for changes in the educational system to prioritize children’s needs.

On March 12, 2025, Congressman Donalds addressed the actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under President Biden's administration. He stated, "Under @POTUS, the @SECGov is actively eliminating political weaponization." He further suggested that the SEC should stop "regulation by enforcement" actions based on novel legal theories, advocating for a return to common-sense approaches to ensure that U.S. markets have an SEC true to its mission.

The following day, March 13, 2025, Donalds criticized current educational policies. In his tweet he expressed concern over ideologically-driven bureaucrats influencing education policy and emphasized that "the numbers are ATROCIOUS." He called for empowering parents with purchasing power over their children's education to refocus priorities on students' needs.

Later on March 13, 2025, Congressman Donalds thanked school administrators from Florida who visited Washington D.C. They discussed innovative educational strategies including methods to combat "Summer Slide," advancements in teaching technology, and personalized learning approaches. In his words: "Together, we discussed innovative strategies to close the gap on 'Summer Slide,' advancements in teaching technology, and the future of individualized learning."
