I am an independent candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 21st Congressional District. I am an educator by profession, with over a decade of teaching experience in this community. My background includes work in psychology and public education, and my life experience includes both economic hardship and professional success. I am running to represent working families, seniors, and small business owners with practical, independent leadership focused on housing affordability, economic fairness, healthcare access, and constitutional governance.
  • Dr. Robert Ott prioritizes housing affordability and economic reform that rewards work over speculation. He supports measures to curb institutional real estate speculation, increase transparency in property ownership, and ensure that teachers, nurses, first responders, and first-time homebuyers have fair access to housing. He advocates policies that address wage stagnation and rising living costs so full-time work once again provides stability and opportunity.
  • Ott supports strengthening Social Security and ensuring cost-of-living adjustments reflect the real expenses seniors face, including healthcare and utilities. He advocates property tax relief for seniors and reforms that protect retirement security in an economy increasingly shaped by automation and corporate consolidation. His focus is on long-term solvency combined with immediate relief for retirees.
  • Running as a No Party Affiliation candidate, Ott emphasizes constitutional governance, separation of powers, and accountability in public office. He supports bipartisan cooperation on practical reforms, term limits, and ethical oversight to rebuild public trust. His campaign centers on restoring balance in government by prioritizing working families over party agendas.
I am personally most passionate about housing affordability, economic fairness for working families, protecting Social Security for seniors, and expanding access to quality medical and mental health care. I believe full-time work should provide stability and opportunity, retirees deserve financial dignity, and individuals and families should have reliable access to both physical and mental health support.
