Top 10 Reasons Why the Florida Panhandle Should Elect Gene Valentino to Congress

Let’s talk about Gene Valentino—a businessman, entrepreneur, and problem-solver who’s running for Congress in Florida’s 1st District.

With the resignation of Matt Gaetz, the Panhandle needs someone bold, experienced, and unapologetically committed to putting America First.

Here are the top 10 reasons why Gene Valentino is the guy Northwest Florida needs in Washington.

1. He’s a Fighter, Not a Politician

Gene isn’t your typical politician. He’s a businessman who built successful ventures from scratch. Like Trump, he knows how to shake things up and isn’t afraid to call out the career politicians and bureaucrats running our country into the ground.

2. He Knows How to Fix Problems

When Gene sees an issue, he doesn’t just talk about it—he solves it. From founding CellularOne to tackling infrastructure challenges as an Escambia County Commissioner, he has a track record of delivering real results.

3. He Wants to Drain the Swamp

Let’s be honest: Washington is a mess. Gene’s ready to clean house by cutting out the career politicians and unelected bureaucrats who are putting their own agendas above the people. He’s the business-savvy outsider we need to take on the establishment.

4. He’ll Put More Money in Your Pocket

Gene’s platform includes eliminating federal income taxes and the IRS. Why? Because he believes you should keep the money you earn and decide how to invest in your own future. Taxation is theft, and Gene plans to put an end to it.

5. He’ll Fight for a Strong Economy

Remember how great things were under President Trump? Gene wants to bring that back by cutting taxes, reducing regulations, and promoting domestic manufacturing. He’s all about creating jobs and building real prosperity for hardworking families in the Panhandle.

6. He’s Tough on Immigration

Illegal immigration is one of Gene’s top priorities. He supports mass deportations, strict border enforcement, and putting Americans first. Law and order in this country starts at the border, and Gene will make sure it stays that way.

7. He’s a True Patriot

Gene’s love for this country runs deep. He’s not running for Congress to get rich or rub elbows with D.C. elites. He’s doing it because he genuinely believes in the greatness of America and wants to preserve it for future generations.

8. He’ll Strengthen the Military

The world isn’t getting any safer, and Gene knows that a strong military is non-negotiable. He’ll fight to modernize our forces, eliminate waste in the military budget, and make sure our troops have the resources they need to keep America safe.

9. He’s One of Us

Gene understands the values of Northwest Florida because he shares them. He’s not some outsider parachuting in to grab power—he’s a local leader who’s invested in our community and committed to making it thrive.

10. He’ll Lead Without Compromise

Gene isn’t interested in playing nice with the establishment. His message is simple: “Lead, follow, or get the Hell out of the way.” He’ll fight tooth and nail for the Panhandle, and he won’t back down from a challenge.

The bottom line? The Panhandle deserves a leader who’s bold, unapologetic, and focused on delivering real results. Gene Valentino checks all the boxes. On Election Day, let’s send him to Washington and show the rest of the country what Northwest Florida is made of.
