Why Gene Valentino’s Plan to Drain the Swamp Is Exactly What Florida—and America—Needs

Let’s face it: Washington is broken. The career politicians, unelected bureaucrats, and special interest groups have turned our government into a self-serving machine that’s out of touch with the hardworking Americans it’s supposed to represent. Gene Valentino, candidate for Florida’s 1st Congressional District, has had enough. He’s bringing a bold, no-nonsense plan to Congress to do what needs to be done: drain the swamp.

The Swamp Problem

For decades, Washington has been plagued by the same faces doing the same things—making deals for themselves while leaving the American people behind. Bureaucracies have bloated to unsustainable levels, fueled by taxpayer dollars, and instead of fixing problems, they’ve made things worse.

Gene sees the swamp for what it is: a system designed to enrich the few at the expense of the many. And he’s not afraid to call it out. As he says, “The government has grown far too powerful, using taxpayer dollars to fuel their own agendas, undermining the will of the American people.”

A Businessman, Not a Politician

One of the things that sets Gene apart is that he’s not a career politician—he’s a businessman. From founding CellularOne to his success in real estate and aviation, Gene has spent his life solving problems, creating jobs, and delivering results. He knows what it takes to reset broken systems and build something that works.

Gene’s approach to draining the swamp is rooted in his business experience:

• Accountability: Just like in business, leaders in government should be held accountable for their actions. That means no more unaccountable bureaucrats running wild with taxpayer money.

• Efficiency: Washington wastes billions of dollars every year on ineffective programs. Gene’s plan will streamline government, cut unnecessary spending, and ensure that taxpayer dollars are spent wisely.

• Action: Gene isn’t about empty promises. He’s about results. When he says he’ll drain the swamp, he means it—and he has the track record to back it up.

Backing Patriots Like Musk and Ramaswamy

Gene’s not interested in playing nice with Washington insiders. He’s ready to work with innovators like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy—business patriots who are shaking up their industries and putting America first. Gene believes Congress should support these kinds of leaders instead of standing in their way.

“When I’m elected,” Gene says, “I will turbocharge initiatives like DOGE and make sure Musk, Ramaswamy, and others have the backing they need to GET THE DAMN JOB DONE.”

Putting Power Back in the Hands of the People

At the heart of Gene’s plan is one simple idea: government should serve the people, not the other way around. That means cutting out the corruption, the backroom deals, and the insider politics that have defined Washington for far too long.

Gene’s plan isn’t just about cleaning house in Congress. It’s about giving ordinary Americans the voice they deserve. By reducing the size of government, cutting federal income taxes, and holding leaders accountable, Gene will ensure that power is returned to the people where it belongs.

The Fight Ahead

Draining the swamp won’t be easy. The establishment doesn’t like being challenged, and they’re not going to give up their grip on power without a fight. But Gene Valentino isn’t afraid to take them on.

As Gene says, “My message to Congress is simple: Lead, follow, or get the Hell out of the way.”

Why It Matters

Northwest Florida—and America as a whole—needs leaders who are willing to fight for real change. Gene Valentino’s plan to drain the swamp isn’t just a campaign promise; it’s a call to action. It’s a commitment to put America back on track and ensure that government works for the people, not the elites.

This is our chance to send a bold, proven leader to Washington—someone who will stand up to the establishment and fight for the values that make this country great. On Election Day, let’s elect Gene Valentino and start draining the swamp for good.
