This week on the campaign trail reinforced why I’m running and how I intend to serve if elected. Particularly, with evidence, accountability, and a clear focus on results.
I had the opportunity to meet with outstanding individuals from the Republican Party Executive Committee at their annual holiday event. I spoke openly about my vision for evidence-based legislation and why data and measurable outcomes must guide decision-making in Congress. Too often, legislation is driven by baseless arguments and headlines instead of facts. I believe voters deserve better.
That conversation led directly into a larger point I continue to make: accountability matters. My opponent, Lois Frankel, has served in Congress for 12 years. During that time, she sponsored dozens of bills, but only one became law—a post office renaming. That record tells a clear story. Being busy is not the same as being effective. Results matter, and Palm Beach County families deserve representation that delivers real impact, not symbolic gestures.
This week also included a petition signing effort at Orchard View Park in Delray Beach, FL. The turnout was lower than hoped, and I won’t pretend otherwise. But this is what the early stages of a true grassroots campaign look like. Momentum is built through persistence, adjustment, and learning where voters already are.
The experience brought forth a hard truth about our political system. As I shared before, money and capital-led exposure often outweigh conviction. The loudest voices usually belong to those with the largest donor-driven megaphones. However, that reality doesn’t discourage me. It sharpens my focus.
What matters most is how I respond. I’m adjusting strategy, targeting higher foot-traffic locations, and continuing to meet voters where they already gather.
Petition signing is about access and timing as much as belief.
This campaign has never been and will never be about comfort. It’s about resolve. It’s about holding career politicians accountable, legislating with facts, and fighting for families who feel ignored by Washington.
This week was part of the process—and the work continues.
