He concluded his remarks with a moment of silence in honor of those lost during the September 11, 2001 attacks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the conference\u2019s final day, Smith highlighted Governor Ron DeSantis\u2019 principled leadership and ongoing work promoting common sense policies in Florida amidst extraordinary threats. \u201cIf common sense is so obvious, why don\u2019t we see the same thing in other states?\u201d Smith asked. \u201cThere\u2019s a simple answer.
