Congratulations to Austin Rogers our Republican Primary winner for Florida’s 2nd Congressional district. In his victory speech tonight, he first thanked God. He credited our Creator for giving him the strength and endurance to make tonight possible. He then thanked his wife, then honored his parents, and then his siblings.

I didn’t know this young man at all 5 months ago. And I wasn’t really comfortable endorsing someone I didn’t know. Austin is the real deal. He is rooted in his faith and truly loves his family. His values are those of all of us who put our faith and family above all else.

Whether you supported him in the primary or not, you can rest assured his values are your values. We got a good one!

Thank you to all who supported him and if you didn’t, he is ready to accept your support and help to win in the general.

Congratulations Austin!!!

Today is Election Day. If you haven’t already cast your vote, please consider voting for Austin Rogers. Let’s send a young man who grew up in Bay County and graduated from Mosley High School to DC to represent our region.

His father is a retired Air Force pilot, flying for the Thunderbirds. His mother a public school educator. And Austin distinguished himself both as a student-athlete and as a scholar, attending law school at Duke.

I have great confidence that he will make our district proud and make our nation a better place for our kids and grandkids.

Don’t sit this one out! Find your precinct and make your vote count.

This man gets it- it’s why he’s got my unequivocal support. He’s got children to protect and has already called out the Democrats on Covid, vaccines, and transgender ideology. Vote Byron Donalds on August 18th!

Please vote. Early voting starts tomorrow, August 8, and runs through August 16.

Primary Day is Tuesday, August 18.

Check your county Supervisor of Elections website for locations and hours. Bring your ID. Bring your neighbor. Bring your kids so they see what civic participation looks like.

This is the most consequential Republican primary FL-2 has seen in a generation. Don’t sit it out. Don’t split the vote. Don’t let a plurality candidate we can’t afford to nominate walk away with our nomination.

Vote early. Vote Rogers. Let’s finish this the right way.

I am proud to support and endorse the next Governor of our great state of Florida Byron Donalds. He came to speak to Florida physicians at the Florida Medical Association meeting. He understands that Florida is the #1 state in America, but we face difficult challenges that we must address to remain the best state. I was not 💯 sold on Byron simply from a Trump endorsement, but hearing him speak and then having a chance to ask questions and hear his answers has reassured me that he is the right choice to be our next governor.

I’m endorsing Jim Bagby for Walton County Commission, District 4.

I don’t endorse on promises. I endorse on records — and Jim’s record IS Walton County. Ten years as Town Manager of Rosemary Beach, building one of the most successful planned communities in America. Executive Director of Visit South Walton, stewarding the tourism economy that funds this county. General Manager of One Seagrove Place. District Director for Congressman Matt Gaetz, solving problems for Northwest Florida families every single day. Before any of that: West Point graduate and a two-decade Army career.

That’s 20+ years of running things in this county — budgets, staff, infrastructure, growth — not commenting on them. It’s why the people who’ve actually worked with Jim are behind him: Congressman Matt Gaetz, Senator Don Gaetz, and Rep. Patt Maney have all endorsed his campaign.

And the contrast in this race is stark. The incumbent spent months pushing the board — meeting after meeting — to pay over $20 million of your money for the Alderberry Road property, land its seller bought for $4 million in 2019. The TDC didn’t support it. Her fellow commissioners had to stop her. The other challenger asks Walton County to overlook what Santa Rosa County already decided: in 2024, 72% of his own voters, after four years of watching him govern, voted to remove him.
Judgment matters. Records matter. Jim Bagby has spent two decades building both, right here.

Every Walton County voter casts a ballot in this race — commission seats are elected countywide. This is your race no matter where in the county you live. Jim Bagby, August 18.

Worth knowing before August 18: James Calkins isn’t new to county government.

He was a sitting Santa Rosa County Commissioner in 2024 — and the voters who watched him work for four years voted him out, third place in his own primary as the incumbent. Then he moved to Walton County to run again.

The people who knew him best rendered a verdict. Walton County should ask why.
