Submitted Biography: "I’m not just America First, I’m AMERICAN first. I believe our representation is missing a key element- loyalty to the people we are elected to serve opposed to the donor class. The American people are, at their core, resilient fighters deserving of accurate representation. I’m a native Floridian, a husband, father of four and will be the first Republican member of GenZ. I owe everything I have to this Country; I grew up in poverty, reliant on church donations and the kindness of strangers. In early 2025, I purchased my first home- climbing my way out of childhood poverty to join the middle class- proof the American dream isn’t dead yet. I achieved this with trade school, not Law school. I’ve spent a decade in the private sector, forging a career in the manufacturing industry. In the same way I’m self taught in robotics, I’m self taught on the United States Constitution. I am committed to domestic diplomacy and finding creative solutions to the biggest issues facing our nation. I’ve drafted legislation I’m prepared to bring to the house floor on day one including unilateral election integrity, an immediate solution to restore and bulletproof Americas manufacturing base, and a constitutional amendment affirming the American people’s right to Transparent Legislation, an effective abolition of the Omnibus bill, enforcing line item voting and veto’s. My number one priority is restoring the American Dream and leaving behind a More perfect union to the generations to come."

Dan Williams (D)
Innovation & Transparency - I believe government should be accessible and digital, not stuck in the past. I will focus on upgrading our government's technology to make it work for you. This means fighting for strong digital privacy laws to protect your personal data and supporting policies that modernize our financial systems to make them more secure and efficient.
Ending Corruption To stop corruption, we must end self-dealing and get big money out of Washington. I support term limits for all congressional seats to ensure new perspectives. I will also champion bipartisan legislation to ban all members of Congress, their spouses, and their children from trading individual stocks. Finally, I support systems that empower small-dollar donations. This ensures candidates must listen to everyday people, not wealthy special interests, to win elections.
Mike Wilnau (R)
I believe that by offering leadership by example, accurate representation and creative solutions, we can restore hope in the hearts and minds of the American people and make the American Dream attainable again.
Our inaction will prove more damaging in this time than anything else. We, the people must regain control of the narrative and work on fixing what’s been broken.
In the 2024 election cycle, restoring American manufacturing was one of the main talking points. Since my entire career thus far has been on the shop floor, I know the ins and outs of the process of building, repairing and streamlining these systems.
Election integrity is paramount to the continuation of America as we've known it. The people have to trust the process if we want them to participate. I’m committed to finding a solution to this issue and restoring trust in the most sacred right of self governance.
Dan Williams (D)
Mike Wilnau (R)
Federal power is too great and too centralized. I want to strengthen the states, turning over many of the federal programs to individual states.
I believe we can have a surplus again. We can’t simply grow ourselves out of a nearly 40 trillion dollar debt. We have to grow and we have to also cut spending for the sake of the way of life for future generations.
Our government’s too big and spends too much.Mike Wilnau (R)

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]
