If you believe Congress should ask tougher questions before sending Americans into war…

join this campaign.

Let’s send leadership to Washington that actually represents the Treasure Coast.

So yes, on behalf of Florida’s 21st District:

I’m sorry we sent someone to Washington who won’t stand up to reckless foreign policy.

Congress should treat war with the same seriousness.

War isn’t a talking point.
It’s lives. Families. Generations.

I’ve spent my career responding to crises.

The first rule in an emergency is simple:
Slow down. Assess the situation. Don’t make it worse.

Instead of pushing back or demanding accountability, Mast has publicly backed the administration’s military posture toward Iran and opposed efforts to restrict those war powers.

The Foreign Affairs Committee isn’t just ceremonial.

It’s supposed to ask hard questions about military escalation, diplomacy, and whether sending Americans into conflict is justified.

Our representative, Brian Mast, is the Chair of the United States House Foreign Affairs Committee.

That position carries enormous responsibility when the United States is on the edge of war.

On behalf of Florida’s 21st District, I owe the country an apology.

We sent someone to Congress who had the power to question a rush toward war…

and chose not to use it.

They said it was “disrespectful” when a Marine protested in uniform…

But back when a Congressman walked the halls of Congress in a foreign military uniform, it was silent.

Same country.
Same uniform rules.
Very different outrage.

If we’re talking about respect for the uniform, be consistent.

What’s your favorite place on the Treasure Coast water?

Let’s protect it.

Clean water shouldn’t be controversial.

It should be common sense.

The goal is simple:

- Reduce harmful runoff into our waterways
- Invest in water infrastructure
- Protect the Indian River Lagoon
- Hold polluters accountable

That’s why I created the Treasure Coast Clean Water Act.

This isn’t just environmental.

It affects:

– Public health
– Fishing and tourism
– Local jobs
– Property values
– The future of the lagoon itself

But toxic algae blooms and polluted runoff have damaged one of the most important ecosystems in Florida.

I grew up here.

The Indian River Lagoon, our beaches, and our waterways are part of who we are.

If you grew up on the Treasure Coast, you know this feeling:

The water should be clear.

The air should smell like the ocean.

Not algae.

It was an honor and a privilege to meet the person who showed me that it was possible to win with integrity and moral clarity.

Congresswoman Cori Bush is running to get her seat back in the House of Representatives and I can’t wait to call her a colleague.

Let me introduce you guys to next Senator for the state of Florida, FL State Representative Angie Nixon.

Mrs. Nixon is a born and raised Floridian and has shown herself to be a proven fighter for those of here in Florida.

It goes without saying that she has my full support in this race.

It’s bad enough Congressman Mast doesn’t show up in the community here on the Treasure Coast, but now he isn’t even doing the job he is supposed to be doing in Washington?

If you could redesign the workforce pipeline in America,
what would you change first?

Not every successful life starts with a university diploma.

But every American should have a clear path to stability and dignity through work.

The goal is simple:

✔️ Expand apprenticeships
✔️ Invest in trade and technical education
✔️ Partner with unions and local employers
✔️ Create real career ladders

That’s why I’m proposing the American Workforce Pathways Act.

A national strategy to rebuild career pipelines outside the traditional four-year degree.

Now we have:

– Worker shortages in critical industries
– Young people drowning in student debt
– Good-paying careers sitting unfilled

But for years we told an entire generation:

“College is the only path.”

Meanwhile, skilled trade pipelines shrank.

I’ve worked alongside some of the most skilled people in the country.

Mechanics. Electricians. EMTs. Construction workers.

None of those careers require a four-year lecture hall.

What’s a “small problem” in America right now that leaders are ignoring?

Government should act like a good fire department:

Stop the fire before it spreads.
