Let's say Gov. Ron DeSantis held a town hall meeting. What would you ask him?

The Opinion page asked readers to tackle this question:If Gov. Ron DeSantis held a town hall forum and you had a chance to ask him a question, what would it be?

Here are just some of the great responses that we received:

What about Florida's insurance crisis?

Sir, the burgeoning insurance crisis has the potential to cause grave harm to Florida homeowners.

Insurance premiums are already highest in the country with the potential to go much higher, as there seems to be no plan to deal with spiraling premiums.

How would your administration propose to deal with the looming crisis and its threat to home values across Florida?

– Kevin Kelley

Yes, what about the insurance rates, governor?

Over the last three years homeowners insurance rates in Florida have increased exponentially (more than 150%).

It is to the point where our family must now consider moving to locations with more affordable living costs.

What commitment can your administration deliver on to lower homeowners insurance to more reasonable rates?

– Alexander Sokoloff

Why little empathy for pregnant women?

Have you ever been a single woman facing an unwanted pregnancy?

I am guessing your pronouns are He/Him.

So if you aren’t a woman (She/Her), how can you or the Florida Legislature know what it’s like to find yourself alone, unwed and pregnant?

– Melinda Foster

When will the media give you credit?

Gov. DeSantis:

Are there any newspapers in Florida that are friendly to you and publish all the good things you are doing?

– Carole Nikla

What's your definition of 'woke"?

Could you please give me your definition of "woke"?

Thanks.

– Carolyn Ellis

Seriously, what about the insurance crisis?

Why aren't you doing something about the insurance crisis in Florida?

– Lisa Carter

What about conditions in Florida hospitals?

Investigations have shown that the takeover of many Florida hospitals by HCA – a private equity firm whose goals are to make money for their clients – has resulted in the following: increased costs, reduced staff and quality of care, overflowing emergency rooms and an unsafe, unsanitary environment.

What would you do to solve this problem?

– Sally Coler

Can we talk about insurance rates again?

How are we going to improve the home insurance crisis in Florida?

It's becoming unaffordable to own in this state.

– Gaëlle Wizenberg

How great does it feel to be so good?

How does it feel to be the best governor that the state of Florida has ever had?

And will you continue to oppose the far left-wing Democrats if elected president?

– Charles Dawson

What about radioactive waste on Florida roads?

Are you going to sign the bill that allows the radioactive waste to be used on our roads?

This is an ill-conceived plan that will destroy every aspect of our environment.

– Judy Vandever

What if the gender identity debate became personal?

What would be your response to your child if he/she found themselves in doubt of their assigned gender?

– Andrea Weissleder
