Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D)

Ending Gun Violence 40,000 Americans die due to gun-related deaths each year. The most vulnerable members of our society account for the majority of those deaths. Mass violence has robbed my generation of our childhoods and cut many of our lives short. The attempts to simply regulate the sale of weapons haven’t worked. That’s why I support a holistic approach to gun violence, developed and championed by the Gun Violence Prevention movement. In Congress, I will work to

Medicare For All The United States has failed to provide a basic social minimum to its citizens. The Covid-19 pandemic has shown us just how cruel and irrational employer-based private insurance is, leaving millions of newly unemployed Americans without care when they needed it most. Americans get sicker, die younger, and pay more for their healthcare than any of their peers in comparable nations. Death and sickness are driven by the greed of private insurers, the indifference of easily corrupted politicians, and wall street speculation. They keep America sick to line their pockets. We do not have a private healthcare system; we have an illness industry. Care must not be a consumer good. No American should gamble with their life or live in

Environmental Justice The greatest challenge facing our country and the world is the climate crisis. The effects of climate disasters are compounded by already existing inequalities of class and race. Frankly, the continuity of the species depends on whether or not we transition from a carbon-dependent economy to one which is powered by green technologies and green jobs. If there is a future, it is a green future. We cannot hesitate and we cannot let big-oil, big-business, and the 1% decide our fates for us. To tackle climate change we need to enact these bold policies now

No Party. When politicians reach across the aisle, they risk fighting in a tug of war, and that's a scenario in which someone inevitably loses - more often than not, it's the people those politicians serve. But when you elect someone without party loyalty, that official doesn't have to reach across the aisle - that person lives in the aisle and is free to roam all seats in pursuit of cooperation to the benefit of as many constituents as possible. Non-partisanship opens the opportunity for the most powerful form of conflict management: collaboration. Instead of competing for resource or compromising on flawed solutions, non-partisan candidates can devote themselves to solving problems for their constituents in a way that benefits all America

No Politics. Candidate should be free from the influence of money. If corporations or wealthy donors comprise the bulk of the candidate's funding, they will consume the bulk of the candidate's attention. In our society, money and power are inextricably linked. Money begets influence, and influence is power in action. Candidates that reject corporate cash and limit the ability for wealthy donors to hold disproportionate influence are more freely able to devote equal attention to all constituents. Consequently, candidates that meet both of these criteria are uniquely qualified and driven to fix campaign finance laws and ensure fair and trustworthy elections for future generations.

Just Solving Problems. Candidates that are free of monetary and political influence are free to express a wider range of ideas without repercussion. And when it comes to ideas, the Law of Big Numbers dictates that when more ideas are debated in the open, the more likely it is that a more perfect solution will be chosen. I won't claim to always have the best ideas, but I do have a track record of exploring a wide gamut of ideas, seeking inputs from all sides, and building consensus on a path forward. By opening the U.S. House of Representatives to the full spectrum of possibilities, the chamber can without challenge once again proclaim itself one of the world's greatest deliberative bodies.

Patient's right to chose the doctor and not the insurance company. Doctor should be in charge to do the required tests for the diagnosis and treatment..

I want to fight for equal rights and justice for all specially small businesses and empower to stand up for your rights.

In the education system, teachers and parents should be incharge and curriculum should not be dictaed by the Govt.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

"I Heard You! I'm answering the call to put on the ARMOR OF GOD to defend our Homeland from all enemies!"

We're at war to unseat corrupt political leaders who push systematically transforming America into a socialist nation!

In the same spirit of "Frederick Douglas, Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan", let's be active in defending conservative values and join me in the "Call to Action"

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Maxwell Alejandro Frost (D)

Criminal Justice, Education, Social Welfare, Environment

Jason Holic (No Affiliation)

"Public education is a hallmark of a functioning democracy. I envision a nation in which public schools are supported instead of dismantled; where every child can be raised up according to their desired vocation and natural gifts; where civics and the arts are held in as high a regard as science and technology; where history classes aim for the same accuracy and rigor as engineering and math; where every teacher gets to keep more of their paycheck because their classrooms are provided for.

It's difficult to argue against the fact that we know of only one habitable planet within our realistic reach: Earth. If we don't take reasonable steps to protect our home, then we risk making it less habitable for humans and other species. It is incumbent upon us in this moment to ensure that the river of grass keeps flowing through the Everglades, that our natural springs aren't bottled up, and that saltwater doesn't creep up beneath our feet.

Infrastructure will be key to energy independence and environmentally friendly mobility. Securing our energy and ensuring the free movement of goods is a matter of national security and a good defense policy. Just as Eisenhower leveraged the defense budget to help build our interstate highway system, we too should consider it an imperative use of defense resources to protect our energy and mobility infrastructure. We must ensure that the mountains, valleys, and oceans white with foam are forever in enviable health and worthy of our defense."

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Health care, judicial system and education system.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Defend Bill of Rights, 1st & 2nd Amendments, voting integrity, stop, illegal activities by closing open borders, protect power grid, plus up funding military and law enforcement, rebuild our economy, infra-structure, reduce taxes, enhance right to life laws for the unborn and elderly to ending health mandates and “critical race theory” and stand strong with allies like Israel who seek liberty and true peace and prosperity.

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

To God and do good karmas.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Christ Jesus, my Lord and Savior, my parents who gave me the "Right to Life, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Ronald Reagan, Dr, George Washington Carter and Ben Carson , just to name a few!

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

YouTube channel for standing up for your rights and patriotism.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Integrity and honesty.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Core Values of: Loyalty, Duty, Selfless Service, Respect, Honor, Integrity and Personal Courage, Honesty and Courage to always stand for JUSTICE as exclaimed in the Preamble!

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Jason Holic (No Affiliation)

Eagle Scout. Ordained deacon. Cub Scouts Den Leader. Beta Theta Pi Man of Principle. Inventor (patent application 63/157,271). Award-winning home brewer. Marathon runner. Mentor to UCF and San Diego State students. If it's worth doing, it's worth committing to. If elected, I'll take that same determination and drive to the U.S. Capitol on behalf of all Floridians. Having lived in the Midwest, the South, California, and Florida, I bring a unique sensibility, work ethic, and balanced approach to work and play, fiscal and social responsibilities, and respect for both tradition and progress that makes me particularly well suited in bridging the gaps between political parties. In fact, I have been a registered member of the Republican and Democratic parties, but I have spent the majority of my voting life without party affiliation. My loyalty is to the nation and this state above any political organization.

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Integrity and honesty.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Have at least a Bachelor's degree, have excellent verbal, interpersonal and written communication skills, be highly personable and responsible to build trusting relationships. I must seek to understand the needs of the people that I represent, and communicate that through the legislative process.” Asa legislator always emphasized that without trusting relationships, it would be difficult to be effective in other ways, such as passing legislation.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

The foremost duty is to the constituents who selected them.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Always do the right things right and do it right the first time! Integrity and Loyalty! Integrity and adherence to sworn oaths with out fear!

What legacy would you like to leave?

Jason Holic (No Affiliation)

I seek the greater good in the work I do. Early in my career, I led digital marketing efforts for suicide prevention, mental illness stigma reduction, and healthy nutrition campaigns. Currently, I improve the lives of Osceola County residents by encouraging out-of-state visitors to spend their money in our community. I work harder when I find a purpose in my work greater than myself. Whenever I have the opportunity, I serve outside of work through simple acts like donating blood, contributing to nonprofit fundraisers, painting homes, fixing playgrounds, or serving food to the underprivileged. In short, the legacy I want to leave is knowing I did the greatest good for the most people I could in the life I was given.

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Legacy of mission to make a difference in discrimination against small businesses, minorities and women.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Do the right thing right and always trust in GOD for guidance!

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

When I went to medical school.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Hearing the inspiring "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on August 28, 1963, at the March on Washington when I was 14 years of age!

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Jason Holic (No Affiliation)

I worked at a bowling alley in high school for a couple of months during the summer. This was back when indoor smoking was still legal in Florida, so a lot of my time was spent emptying and cleaning ashtrays. I also helped check in guests, sanitize rental shoes, and collect bowling balls after games. It was much different than the type of work I do today. Fortunately, I only had to deal with one irate guest, but his issues were understandable, and a little bit of empathy helped convert him into a happy guest. Birthday parties were certainly one of the more enjoyable aspects of the job, from setting up party tables to taking orders, cooking meals, and serving, they were often a one-person show that helped make memories for children and adults alike. Plus I could earn some tips. One memory I had was when I waddled between the gutters to retrieve a stuck ball that one of the children rolled into the gate. I apparently hadn't been fully trained at that task, and as I learned afterwards, I was mere inches aware from tripping a sensor that would have seen the gate sweep me into the pin machine. That would have been painful. Some other training stuck with me and helps me look like a pro whenever bowling now - I can call in machine malfunctions like banana tree, interlock, and pin jam for instant alley credibility.

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

A One in A Million, by Larry Graham

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

My father passed away due to an accident and it was a struggle to get an education and especially to go to medical school.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Getting those so down trodden to rise above their circumstances.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Introduces Bills for passing the legislation for the constituents.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

The House is the only branch of government that has been directly elected by American voters since its formation in 1789. The power of the "Peoples' House of the US Congress is divided into three types: enumerated, implied, and inherent" power. Representatives must be servant-leaders who will not compromise or bend to lobbyists as they serve as the voice of the people and as principled servant-leaders in creating and voting bills for the President to sign into law. Representatives are legislators who initiate everything from revenue bills, impeach of proven corrupt federal officials, to break an electoral college tie of the President-elect.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

No, not necessary.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Not necessarily, but all must have clear understanding of true conservative values, a depth of historical knowledge without hiding the truth from our youth and a strong appreciation for America!

What do you perceive to be the United States’ greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

Jason Holic (No Affiliation)

We need to trust and respect each other, and when we do, we can meet all the other challenges confidently.

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Inflation and a rapidly declining economy.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Defeat the "Fundamental Transformation of America" by removing corrupt rogue political leaders which is heading to socialism!

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Health care committee.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Ways and Means, Veteran and Health at minimum!

If you are a current representative, why did you join your current committees?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

NA

Calvin Wimbish (R)

N/A

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Yes

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Yes, and definitely not for 40 years. Three two-year terms is an reasonable expectation in my opinion!

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Jason Holic (No Affiliation)

If we have term limits for the highest office in the nation, then surely we can set reasonable limits for all other federal offices.

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Dr. Jain’s goal is to introduce and pass a Bill in Congress so patients can choose the doctor of their choice across the nation and judges across the nation have to give the reasons for the judgment (not per Curiam) Allow for electronic filing for all self-representing citizens in the Federal court and Supreme Court so small businesses do not risk losing their businesses.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

I support term limits as envisioned by our Founding Fathers at all federal, state and local levels. It is time to end the era of professional politicians. Term limits must be the law so generations will not have to suffer again under 40 plus year term politicians who falter, misspeak and support The New World Order (NWO) and The Green Energy Agenda over America first!

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

No.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Congressional Representatives Richard H. Cain, Oscar Stanton De Priest, John Mercer Langston, Burgess Owens, Allen West, Byron Donalds, and Mike Waltz.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Yes. The patient who has insurance could not get authorization for the tests from the insurance company. The patient's condition got worse and she ended up in the emergency room and had to have emergency surgery to save her life because there was an infection in the abdomen. This is unacceptable in America. Insurance companies are governing medicine.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Yes, my parents and their life struggles to still stand firm as Christians and Peace Makers for America!

Tell us your favorite joke.

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

One of the patients says to his doctor doc, you have to keep me alive so I can pay you.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Jason Holic (No Affiliation)

Compromise is but one of the main conflict resolution strategies. The preferred route is collaboration. But when time and effort budgets do not permit, compromise is a sometimes necessary fallback. Competing, accommodating, and avoiding should be options of last resort.

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Yes.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

Yes, compromise is necessary but, not at the risk or expense of destroying our unalienable rights called for in the Declaration of our Constitution which includes “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” These rights are considered “inherent in all legal American rights!

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Usha Jain (No Affiliation)

Agree.

Calvin Wimbish (R)

As soon as possible sit and eventually chair either the House Special Committee on Aging, House Education and Labor, the House Committees on Veterans' Affairs and the Ways and Means committee.

This section contains data on U.S. House primary election competitiveness in Florida.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Florida in 2022. Information below was calculated on August 16, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

One hundred fifty-two candidates filed to run for Florida's 28 U.S. House districts, including 58 Democrats and 94 Republicans. That's 5.43 candidates per district, more than the 4.22 candidates per district in 2020 and the 3.86 in 2018.

This was the first election to take place under new district lines following the 2020 census, which resulted in Florida gaining one U.S. House district. The 152 candidates who filed to run this year were a decade-high. One hundred fourteen candidates ran in 2020, 104 in 2018, 100 in 2016, 75 in 2014, and 89 in 2012.

A total of eight incumbents ran in districts different from the ones they represented before the election.

Two incumbents from different parties filed to run against each other in the 2nd district. Rep. Al Lawson (D), who represented the 5th district, filed to run against 2nd district incumbent Rep. Neal Dunn (R) in the general election.

Four incumbents did not run for re-election. Rep. Charlie Crist (D), who represented the 13th district, ran for governor, and Rep. Val Demings (D), who represented the 10th district, ran for the U.S. Senate. Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D), who represented the 7th district, and Rep. Ted Deutch (D), who represented the 22nd district, retired.

Six seats were open, including Crist's, Demings', and Murphy's. The three remaining open seats were the 4th, the 15th, and the 23rd. Rep. John Rutherford (R), who represented the 4th district, ran in the 5th this year, and Rep. Scott Franklin (R), who represented the 15th district, ran in the 18th. Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, who represented the 23rd district, ran in the 25th. The six open seats this year were four more than in 2020, when two seats were open, and two more than in 2018, when four seats were open. Seven seats were open in 2016, and no seats were open in 2014.

Sixteen candidates—ten Democrats and six Republicans—ran to replace Demings in the 10th district, the most candidates who ran for a seat this year.

There were 38 contested primaries this year, a decade-high. That was nine more than in 2020, when there were 29 contested primaries, and seven more than in 2018, when there were 31 contested primaries. Fourteen of the contested primaries were Democratic primaries. That was four more than in 2020, when there were ten contested Democratic primaries, and five fewer than in 2018, when there were 19. Twenty-four of the contested primaries were Republican primaries. That number, a decade-high, was five more than in 2020, when there were 19 contested Republican primaries, and 12 more than in 2018, when there were 12.

There were 17 incumbents in contested primaries this year, also a decade-high. That number was seven more than in 2020, when ten incumbents faced contested primaries, and six more than in 2018, when 11 incumbents did. Six incumbents faced no primary challengers this year. Three seats—the 5th, the 6th, and the 18th districts—were guaranteed to Republicans because no Democrats filed. No seats were guaranteed to Democrats because no Republicans filed.
