FORT WALTON BEACH — Conservative Matt Gaetz (R-Fort Walton Beach) has officially qualified for the ballot for Florida’s 1st Congressional District.
“… Career politicians have driven our nation into a ditch,” Gaetz said in a media release. “I’m running for Congress to fight Washington and restore America through bold, conservative reforms. I’ll step on toes to get the job done — whether it’s fighting radical Muslim terrorism, defending our right to bear arms, standing up for our veterans and military, or building a wall to stop illegal immigration.
“And, I’ll fight for term limits on Congress, because Northwest Florida deserves a Congressman whose mission is to fight for a stronger America, not a permanent job in Washington.”
Gaetz is an attorney from Fort Walton Beach and represents portions of Okaloosa County in the Florida House of Representatives. He currently chairs the Finance & Tax Committee.
