Candidate Endorsements
At Verve N Veda, candidate endorsements are not given lightly or along purely partisan lines.
Each individual featured here has been evaluated based on a consistent set of principles:
commitment to transparency, respect for constitutional boundaries, practical problem-solving,
and a demonstrated willingness to serve the public interest over political convenience.
In an era where political discourse is often reduced to slogans and division;
this space is intended to provide clarity.
These endorsements reflect a preference for candidates who show independence of thought, accountability in governance, and a focus on real-world outcomes, especially on issues that directly affect everyday life, such as infrastructure, cost of living, public safety,
and responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources.
This is not about party loyalty. It is about discernment. The goal is to highlight individuals who approach leadership with seriousness, integrity,
and a clear understanding of the balance between innovation and responsibility.
Each candidate listed below has earned endorsement based on how well they align with these values, not on rhetoric, but on record, judgment, and the direction they represent.
After careful research and reflection, I have decided not to endorse a candidate in the Florida Chief Financial Officer race at this time. I have great respect for those willing to step forward in public service, but my endorsements must be grounded in clear alignment with integrity, accountability, constitutional governance, and the reforms I believe Florida needs. At this time, I cannot offer an endorsement to any candidate in this race.
My loyalty is to principles first, and to the people of Florida always.
I am formally endorsing Matthew “Matt the Welder” Taylor for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture.
I support his campaign because he brings a working-class, hands-on perspective to the office and is focused on protecting Florida’s agricultural land from overdevelopment. His emphasis on reforming land-use loopholes, supporting real farmers, and challenging government practices that favor developers reflects the kind of accountability and practical oversight I believe this office needs.
Florida’s agricultural future depends on preserving farmland, strengthening rural communities, and ensuring that policies serve the people who actually work the land. I believe Matt Taylor’s approach aligns with those priorities.

Charles Gambaro Jr., a leader who brings real-world experience, disciplined service, and a commitment to putting America first. As a military officer and public servant, he understands the importance of accountability, national security, and responsible governance.
Florida’s 11th Congressional District
Tim Wilkins brings real-world experience, accountability, and a focus on getting things done. As a Marine veteran, business leader, and community advocate, he understands the challenges families and seniors in our communities face every day.
Tim’s background in business, service, and the community gives him a practical perspective that Washington is missing. I believe he has the potential to represent all of us, not just one side.
That’s why I’m supporting Tim Wilkins for Florida’s 11th District.
Florida’s 21st Congressional District
Robert A. Ott is an independent candidate and longtime educator and psychologist based in Florida, running a grassroots, policy-focused campaign centered on practical solutions rather than party ideology.

Florida State Senate District 2
Jay Trumbull is a dedicated public servant who has consistently demonstrated a commitment to responsible governance and the well-being of his community.
Through his leadership and service, he has focused on strengthening economic stability, addressing critical issues like property insurance, and supporting policies that benefit families, workers, and small businesses.
Jay Trumbull brings a steady, solutions-oriented approach to public office, grounded in accountability, transparency, and respect for the principles that guide our Constitutional Republic. His record reflects not only experience but a clear dedication
to serve the people with integrity and purpose.
Florida State Senate District 6
In a Constitutional Republic, our strength comes not from uniformity, but from the ability of diverse voices to work toward a common purpose. Jennifer Bradley has demonstrated steady leadership and a deep understanding of governance, while Jason Bellamy-Fults brings a valuable grassroots perspective rooted in education, labor, and community engagement. Though they come from different backgrounds, both reflect a commitment to serving the people and addressing real challenges facing Floridians. We are best served not by division, but by leaders willing to listen, collaborate, and put the interests of their communities above partisan lines. That is the kind of leadership that strengthens trust, accountability, and the foundation of our republic.
Florida State Senate District 8
Gabriel Jude Wozniak is a Libertarian candidate for Florida State Senate District 8, running on a platform centered around reducing government regulation and supporting small businesses. His campaign proposes tax reductions, simplified filing requirements, and incentives aimed at strengthening local economies.
Florida State Senate District 12
Alfred Reynolds brings a powerful combination of public service, education, and real-world experience to this race. As a former law enforcement officer, Army National Guard member, and educator, he understands the challenges facing our communities and is committed to practical, people-first solutions.
His focus on improving education, addressing housing affordability, strengthening mental health support, and building safer neighborhoods reflects a genuine commitment to the well-being of everyday Floridians.
Florida State Senate District 14
After taking a closer look at Florida Senate District 14, I believe Senator Brian Nathan deserves the opportunity to serve out his term and demonstrate his leadership.
Voters decided a close and competitive race, and I respect that outcome.
I look forward to seeing how he approaches the real challenges facing Florida, from the cost of living to agriculture and environmental stewardship.
Accountability matters, but so does giving leaders the chance to lead.
In a Constitutional Republic,
the strength of our nation depends on informed citizens,
not manipulated narratives.
Yet too often, elections are reduced to party labels, sound bites, and the loudest voices competing for attention instead of truth.
You don’t have to agree with my perspective,
but you do deserve access to the full picture.
Because when voters are informed, they are empowered and when they are empowered, our system of democracy stands stronger.
Transparency, accountability, and an informed electorate are not optional; they are essential.
That is how we preserve liberty, protect individual rights, and ensure that government remains accountable to the people it serves.
