  Governor Ron DeSantis Gov. Ron DeSantis Introduces EPIC Act to End Congressional Pensions WASHINGTON, D.C. — Governor Ron DeSantis is continuing his long-standing mission to reform Washington by introducing the End Pensions in Congress (EPIC) Act. The legislation seeks to abolish pensions for all future Members of Congress and for current lawmakers who are not yet vested in the existing federal retirement plan. Although now serving as Florida’s governor, DeSantis authored this reform bill during his time in Congress — and the principles behind it remain central to his platform today. DeSantis himself rejected his congressional pension when he took office, arguing that taxpayer-funded lifetime benefits for lawmakers are unjustifiable. The EPIC Act is backed by reform-minded co-sponsors including Reps. Rod Blum (IA-01), Trey Gowdy (SC-04), Thomas Massie (KY-04), Mick Mulvaney (SC-05), and Reid Ribble (WI-08). DeSantis: Congress Was Never Meant to Be a Ruling Class Gov. DeSa...
