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.

Florida’s 6th Congressional District
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. He emphasizes issues like housing affordability, cost-of-living relief for working families, stronger protections for Social Security, expanded access to healthcare, especially mental health services, and government accountability through measures like term limits and transparency.

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.
Florida State Senate District 22
Victor Rohe is a Republican candidate running for Florida Senate District 22 (Sarasota/Manatee) in the 2026 cycle. He is a local Sarasota-area resident and political outsider with limited prior elective office experience, positioning himself as a grassroots conservative challenger rather than part of the Florida GOP establishment. His campaign messaging generally emphasizes limited government, fiscal conservatism, and local accountability, often framing his candidacy as an alternative to “insider politics” in Tallahassee. Compared to his opponent, James Buchanan, Rohe has significantly less fundraising infrastructure, no major PAC backing, and lower name recognition outside of local circles, making him a long-shot candidate who would need strong primary turnout from anti-establishment Republican voters to be competitive.

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.
Florida State Senate District 21
Over the past decade, Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco and his agency have initiated a program that infringes on civil rights. He faced criticism, lawsuits, and media scrutiny over policing practices involving “predictive policing,” repeated harassment and unjustified law-enforcement visits, numerous allegations of false arrests, privacy violations, and inappropriate involvement with families, including unethical child-protection-related concerns. Civil rights groups and multiple major media outlets reported heavily on this outrageous, corrupt situation. Rights groups have argued these practices disproportionately affected innermerable, vulnerable residents and raised questions about due process and oversight. Testimonies are still surfacing regarding the severe harassment by the Pasco Sheriffs department. The Sheriff’s office has settled multiple lawsuits without any justice or discipline for Christopher Nocco himself. Critics argue the system lacked sufficient accountability, while even supporters of law enforcement characterized the program as abusive and in violation of constitutional rights. Nocco has remained in office and is now seeking higher elected office by appointment rather than through the democratic voting process, with opponents framing his career and policies as controversial and in violation of Civil rights.
