Election integrity shouldn't be a partisan issue. Every eligible voter deserves confidence that their vote is counted accurately and that our elections are secure, transparent, and accountable.

From day one, my focus will be on delivering results for the people of Florida's 16th District. That starts with fighting for term limits, restoring accountability in Washington, and putting the American people first.

Had the pleasure of meeting @JayCollins, and it made one thing clear. We're running for the same reason. While others are running on endorsements and political connections, we're running on service, leadership, and results. That is what this race should be about.
