Florida State House of Representatives District 65 |
|

Why are you running for this office?
I'm a small business owner, we sell digital fitness programs for professional athletes. In 2020, the nation shut down every gym in the country, dropping our revenue 70% in a week. I had been active in local Republican politics here in Tampa and Florida for the last 4 years as a leader of the Tampa Bay Young Republicans, and after nobody spoke up for regular people and business owners during the pandemic, I felt that it was time to just run for office and make a difference. |
|
11 |
What issues are most important to you?
Election Integrity, affordable housing, mandates and business restrictions. |
|
12 |
What makes you a unique candidate for this office?
There are very few young, successful, digital marketing entrepreneurs that go from working with celebrities to turning that into a political run for office. |
|

PRIMARY ELECTION (most important) - August 23

Is your election partisan? Please describe.
Yes. The State House races are partisan. For my particular race, I expected that most of my battle will be within the primary election as the district leans Republican, but I still have to win the general against a Democrat. |

Republican. |
|
