8 priorities · 8 quoted statements
Lower Homeowners Insurance: Florida homeowners pay the highest insurance rates in the country. Gay will push for homeowner relief, including supporting federal legislation to cut insurance rates by at least 25%.
Lower Car Insurance: Car insurance costs have gone through the roof. Gay will fight to stop the price gouging that is hurting drivers.
End Corporate Price Gouging: We’re paying more for everyday items like groceries, while companies are shrinking product sizes. Gay will hold corporations accountable for “shrinkflation” and restore fairness to the market.
Expand Affordable Housing: Hard-working, everyday Floridians deserve a real chance at homeownership. Gay supports lowering housing costs, including by passing the Bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act which will help tackle factors that drive up the cost of goods and fighting to stop large Wall Street investors from buying up homes.
Ensure Reliable Healthcare Coverage: Over 10% of Floridians are uninsured. Gay will fight for universal, affordable, quality healthcare. Every person should be able to see a doctor without going broke.
Defend Social Security & Medicare: You paid into these programs. Gay will make sure Washington keeps its promise. No cuts, no privatization.
Lower Drug Costs: No one should have to skip doses because they can’t afford their medicine. Gay will fight to reduce prescription drug prices, including reinstating the $35 cap on insulin.
Retain Healthcare Workers: Our district is losing healthcare workers to other states. Gay will push for incentives to keep doctors, nurses, and medical professionals here where we need them.
Build a Full-Service VA Hospital: Northwest Florida's veterans deserve top-tier healthcare close to home. Gay will fight to make it happen.
Cut the VA Backlog: Hundreds of thousands of VA claims sit backlogged. That’s unacceptable. Gay will push for full VA funding and expanded Tricare coverage so veterans can get the care they’ve earned, without long waits.
Support Military Families: Gay will fight for resources that support military families, including expanding childcare, training programs for spouses and family members, and better infrastructure around our military bases.
Support Veterans When They Come Home: Gay will protect and expand VA healthcare access, including opposing any cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and VA benefits that military members rely on. She will also fight to improve transition programs for service members.
Invest in Public Safety: Gay supports funding for both law enforcement and community programs that prevent crime.
Fight the Opioid Crisis: Florida's 1st District leads the state in opioid deaths. Gay will push for federal funding for prevention, treatment, and mental health services to save the lives of our neighbors.
Common-Sense Gun Laws: Gay supports responsible gun ownership and the measures that keep guns out of dangerous hands, including universal background checks and federal red flag laws.
Protect Small Businesses: Costs are up, and profits are down. Gay will fight to expand tax incentives and funding for small business owners, and work to stop the insurance price gouging that’s crushing businesses.
Bring Manufacturing Back Home: We can’t rely on foreign countries for critical goods. Gay will fight for policies that bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States and put American workers first.
Support Workers: Gay supports unions, fair wages, and safe working conditions. She supports investing in job training and apprenticeships that prepare Floridians for good-paying careers.
Protect Family Farms: Tariffs have hurt Florida farmers. Gay will fight for policies that support small and mid-sized farms, and ensure farmers and consumers pay fair prices.
Pay Teachers Well: Florida teachers are underpaid and overworked, and our kids pay the price when we lose good ones. Gay will fight to raise teacher pay and keep talented educators in our schools.
Support Military Kids: Military families in Northwest Florida deserve stable and well-funded schools, no matter where service takes them. Gay will fight to protect federal funding for schools near military installations.
Defend Federal Education Commitments: Billions in grants for teacher training and school mental health services are on the chopping block in Washington. Gay will fight to protect the funding that Florida’s public schools depend on.
Secure the Border Without Abandoning Our Values: Gay supports border security through better technology and more judges. Due process is a cornerstone of American democracy, and a system that operates without oversight puts everyone at risk.
Overhaul Our Broken Immigration System & Create Pathways for Citizenship: We can strengthen border security, keep fentanyl out, and ensure refugee seekers and Dreamers are treated humanely and with dignity. Gay believes in creating a clear, legal path to citizenship to ensure our neighbors can fully contribute to our economy and communities.
Defend the Right to Vote: Gay will fight to strengthen the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and push back against tactics designed to silence communities and make participation harder.
Get Big Money Out of Politics: Voters should decide our elections, not corporations or the ultra-wealthy. Gay supports campaign finance reform to reduce the influence of dark money in our politics.
Protect Our Institutions: Gay believes in a government accountable to the people, not to any one person or party. She'll fight to protect the courts, the Constitution, and the checks and balances that keep power in check.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 16 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.

Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($177,296) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Outside spending $2,414,154 across this race
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
Support and oppose are each group’s own labels, not a judgment made here.
$2,317,744 of the race total was filed about other candidates, so it would not show on Valimont’s own record.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Valimontunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.

Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 142 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
13 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $23,516 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
