Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Born and raised in Central Florida, Noah Widmann didn’t have the easiest childhood. He was raised by a single and disabled mom, and thanks to coaches, teachers, and government programs like food stamps and housing assistance, Noah was able to graduate high school and became one of the first in his family to attend college. At 18, Noah became a father and supported his family by flipping burgers and bagging groceries. But he yearned to contribute more.

Noah became an EMT with Marion County Fire Rescue, working 12-hour night shifts, while continuing his education at community college in the mornings. He eventually transferred to Columbia University and then attended Georgetown Law on a scholarship for low-income, first-generation students. Now he’s ready to fight for our Central Florida families and work to make life just a little bit easier for everyone here and build a fair economy that works for us, not just billionaires.

Now, Noah is a lawyer fighting for people to get the benefits they are owed and depend on, like Social Security. He intimately understands the life-altering effects program cuts can have on a family. He knows his story is only possible when we support families and give everyone a chance to achieve the American Dream. That’s why Noah is running for Congress.

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?

• Noah will fight to protect Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran’s benefits, and more.
• Noah will combat inflation and end these out of control tariffs that are making the cost of living balloon.
• Noah will fight against corruption in our government and fight against the special interests. He will push for term limits, getting lobbyists out of power, and banning insider trading by Congress.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Healthcare; Social Security; Veterans care; Small Business; Cost of Living.

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

Dr. King and Ghandi because they believed in solving serious issues by bringing people together with love and understanding.

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

Integrity, fighting for everyday people, and working hard.

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

I am a very hard worker and someone who follows rules. We seem to not have those two qualities represented in the halls of Congress these days. We see people miss votes, fail to pass laws, and enrich themselves over decades in power. I would be the opposite.

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

Integrity, honesty, hard work, empathy, guts.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I want to make healthcare affordable and I want to fight for our veterans.

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

9/11. I was only 6 years old.

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

Sonic Drive In as a fry cook.

What is your favorite book? Why?

Robert Caro’s series on LBJ. Just so much great detail in those.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Iron Man.

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

“Hella Good” by No Doubt.

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

Poverty

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

Elections are every two years, so the House should be more responsive to the needs of the good people they serve.

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

It can be if you’re someone who works on behalf of the people who elected you.

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

Jobs, inflation, and national security in the digital age.

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

It may be.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I believe they are worth looking into. Congress is far too old and too out of touch.

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

Susan Wild.

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?

I will never forget speaking with a mother who recently lost her son to the opioid crisis. I had family members struggle with addiction and saw several overdose cases every shift as an EMT. We must address this crisis and save American lives.

Tell us your favorite joke.

“Did you hear the one about this current congress actually passing a real budget?” Me neither.

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

I believe our elected officials must work with both sides to come up with common sense solutions to our problems.

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?

We must have a tax system that works for everyday families, and not just the corporate interests. We also need to ensure that our government uses revenue to serve our veterans, our disabled neighbors, and the poor.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Absolutely, including against corrupt members of Congress.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

2024 FL House District 38 candidate and former Seminole County Democrats Vice Chair Sarah Henry; Winter Springs Commissioner Sarah Baker. As of May 6th 2025.

What committees interest you?

House Committee on Small Business; House Financial Services Committee; House Veterans' Affairs Committee; House Committee on Agriculture; House Committee on Oversight and Reform.

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

We need our elected officials to be held to higher standards, and we need to ban insider stock trading done by both sides.
