Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Tom Keen is a dedicated public servant with a remarkable record of service and leadership. With 21 years as a Navy officer defending our nation and another two decades in the business sector, Tom brings a wealth of experience to his role.

As a Navy Commander, Tom was responsible for the safety and well-being of his Sailors, and he brings the same dedication to his political career. He's alarmed by the direction Florida has taken under Governor DeSantis and the nearly 30 years of Republican supermajority in Tallahassee. Tom believes Florida is in trouble and that we owe it to our children and future generations to ensure a brighter future.

Tom's campaign is firmly rooted in the values of the Democratic Party. He's committed to preserving rural communities, promoting smart growth, expanding access to healthcare, protecting reproductive rights, addressing affordability issues, and actively involving young people in the political process.

With Tom Keen, you get a true advocate for the people, someone who understands servant leadership and the importance of representing constituents' best interests. Tom's vision for Florida is one of progress, equality, and opportunity for all.

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?

Experience and Dedication: With 21 years serving in the U.S. Navy and two more decades in the business world, I bring a lifetime of leadership and commitment to the table. My career has been defined by service, and I'm dedicated to serving the people of Florida with the same passion and integrity.
Fighting for a Better Florida: I'm deeply concerned about the direction our state has taken under Republican leadership.As State Representative, I'll champion progressive values and work tirelessly to protect our communities, our environment, and our future.
A Voice for All: I believe in inclusivity and actively involving young people in our political process. Together, we can build a brighter future for Florida—one that's equitable, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of every resident.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I'm passionate about several key areas of public policy:

Environmental Conservation: Protecting our natural resources and combating climate change are top priorities. I'm committed to policies that promote clean energy, conservation, and sustainable practices to ensure a healthier environment for future generations.

Public Education: Quality education is the foundation of a strong society. I advocate for affordable access to education, from pre-K to college, to level the playing field and empower our youth.

Healthcare: Accessible and affordable healthcare is a fundamental right. I'm dedicated to ensuring everyone can receive quality medical care without financial barriers.

Financial Security: I'm committed to addressing critical financial issues, including fixing the property insurance crisis in Florida and making housing more affordable. We must make it more affordable for residents to live in our great state.

LGBTQIA+ Rights: I'm a staunch advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights. Every individual should have the right to love whomever they choose and live authentically, free from discrimination.

Reproductive Freedom: I strongly support reproductive rights and bodily autonomy for all individuals. Floridians don’t need a permission slip from the government to make healthcare decisions about their own bodies.

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

The most important characteristics and principles for an elected official include integrity, accountability, transparency, empathy, a commitment to public service, and a dedication to representing the interests of their constituents faithfully. Upholding the principles of democracy, respecting the rule of law, and working diligently to improve the lives of those they serve should be at the core of every elected official's values.

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

I believe several qualities make me well-suited for public office:

Integrity: I am committed to upholding the highest ethical standards. My decisions and actions will always be guided by honesty and transparency.

Leadership: My years of experience in the Navy, where I was responsible for the safety and well-being of my team, have honed my leadership skills. I understand the importance of collaboration and making tough decisions for the greater good.

Listening Skills: I value the input and concerns of my constituents. I will actively seek out their feedback and ensure their voices are heard in the decision-making process.

Problem Solving: I have a track record of finding innovative solutions to complex challenges. Whether it's addressing the property insurance crisis or defending public education, I'm committed to finding practical, effective solutions.

Diversity and Inclusion: I believe in representing all Floridians. I'll work to create policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in our state.

What legacy would you like to leave?

As for my legacy, I hope to leave a Florida that is more equitable, just, and sustainable. I want future generations to benefit from a state where everyone has access to quality education, affordable healthcare, and a thriving economy. I aim to be remembered as a public servant who put people before politics and worked tirelessly to make Florida a better place for all its residents.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature?

The ideal relationship between the governor and state legislature should involve the legislature acting as a crucial checks and balances mechanism. We should ensure that the governor's decisions and policies align with the best interests of Floridians and the principles of democracy.

This relationship should be characterized by open and transparent communication, where the legislature holds the governor accountable for their actions and decisions. While cooperation and collaboration between the branches of government are generally beneficial, when there are concerns about executive overreach or actions contrary to the public good, the legislature must exercise its oversight authority effectively.

In such cases, the state legislature should prioritize its role as a representative body, working diligently to protect the rights and interests of the people of Florida. It should actively investigate and challenge any actions or policies that raise questions about the governor's commitment to democratic principles, the rule of law, and the welfare of the state's residents.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Florida faces several significant challenges over the next decade, including addressing the impacts of climate change, ensuring access to quality healthcare, addressing affordable housing concerns, and reforming the state's property insurance system. These challenges require proactive, forward-thinking policies and strong leadership.

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

While it's not necessary for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics, it can be beneficial. However, what's most important is a legislator's commitment to their constituents, their willingness to learn, and their dedication to effective governance.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Building relationships with other legislators is highly beneficial. Effective governance often relies on collaboration and consensus-building. Establishing good working relationships with colleagues, regardless of party affiliation, allows for more productive discussions and the development of bipartisan solutions.

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

The legislature should oversee and, if necessary, grant the use of emergency powers. While it's important for the executive branch to respond swiftly in emergencies, checks and balances are essential to prevent the misuse of power. The legislature should have a role in ensuring that emergency powers are exercised judiciously and in the best interests of the state.

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

Yes, I firmly believe that compromise is both necessary and desirable for effective policymaking. In a diverse and democratic society like ours, it's essential to recognize that different individuals and groups will have varying perspectives and interests. To create policies that benefit the broader population, compromise is often required.

Compromise encourages collaboration, fosters unity, and helps find common ground. It allows us to move forward, even in situations where there are competing priorities. While it may require concessions, it ultimately results in solutions that are more balanced and sustainable.

I am committed to working across the aisle and with fellow legislators to find common-sense solutions that address the needs of our constituents. Compromise doesn't mean abandoning our principles; rather, it means finding ways to achieve our shared goals through consensus and negotiation. In today's polarized political climate, I believe that a commitment to compromise is crucial for the betterment of our communities and our nation.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

I'm passionate about several key areas of public policy:

Environmental Conservation: Protecting our natural resources and combating climate change are top priorities. I'm committed to policies that promote clean energy, conservation, and sustainable practices to ensure a
healthier environment for future generations.

Public Education: Quality education is the foundation of a strong society. I advocate for affordable access to education, from pre-K to college, to level the playing field and empower our youth.

Healthcare: Accessible and affordable healthcare is a fundamental right. I'm dedicated to ensuring everyone can receive quality medical care without financial barriers.

Financial Security: I'm committed to addressing critical financial issues, including fixing the property insurance crisis in Florida and making housing more affordable. We must make it more affordable for residents to live in our great state.

LGBTQIA+ Rights: I'm a staunch advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights. Every individual should have the right to love whomever they choose and live authentically, free from discrimination.

Reproductive Freedom: I strongly support reproductive rights and bodily autonomy for all individuals. Floridians don’t need a permission slip from the government to make healthcare decisions about their own bodies.

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?

Funding and Protecting Our Local Public Schools
Our Right to Quality, Affordable Healthcare
Protecting Florida’s Water, Ground, and Air

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Tom Keen started his career serving the people of America for 20 years in the Navy and now he wants to continue to serve the people of Florida. He is passionate about strengthening the economy, protecting our environment, increasing access to affordable healthcare, and protecting reproductive rights.

Tom believes the current state government has been interfering with local governments and small businesses, making to more difficult for them to succeed. He believes in Home Rule and preserving the power of local leaders and business owners.

He wants to put Florida on the right path and fight for real policy changes that will help everyday Floridians prosper, while protecting their rights.

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

The Navy taught me a lot, especially three core values that I live by today:

Honor. Courage. Commitment.

If elected I will bring all three with me to Tallahassee. These values are needed to create lasting change and to enable Brighter Choices for Florida.

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

My first job after graduating from the University of Cincinnati was in the Management Training Program as first line supervisor at the Ford Motor Company. After just a short time, I was laid off and forced onto unemployment. This experience taught me how important it is to have an unemployment system that works well and is built to get people the help they need. Here in Florida, our unemployment system is broken. When my daughter was laid off from Disney during the early days of the pandemic, it took over eight weeks for her to receive her first unemployment check. Most people don’t have the luxury of waiting even two weeks, let alone eight. The system is also incredibly complicated, making it inaccessible for many. I will fight to fix the unemployment system if I’m elected.

Scorecards

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
