Whether it’s ending reckless tariffs driving up the price of groceries, using antitrust laws to break up the corporate consolidation that is squeezing consumers at every turn, or expanding access to capital for small and minority-owned businesses that have been locked out of economic opportunity for too long — James is laser focused on the cost of living crisis hitting working families, small businesses, and retirees on fixed incomes across the Treasure Coast and Northern Palm Beaches.
James’ path to public service in the U.S. Coast Guard started with a deep love of wild Florida — particularly its water. In Congress, he will relentlessly seek to end the Treasure Coast’s clean water crisis. That means completing Everglades restoration, cleaning up Lake Okeechobee, stopping toxic discharges to the St. Lucie Estuary and Indian River Lagoon, and never compromising or curtailing bedrock environmental laws. Florida’s fishermen, farmers, families, and tourism economy can’t afford half-measures anymore.
James is committed to getting big money out of politics, banning members of Congress from trading stocks and making bets on insider information, and closing the revolving door between Capitol Hill and the K Street lobbying corridor. James is dedicated to returning government to the people it’s meant to serve. James is also committed to quarterly town halls with constituents, bi-annual round tables with local elected officials and business leaders across the Treasure Coast, and he will make his schedule publicly available. Public office is a public trust, and James will treat it that way.
James believes healthcare is a human right — but he also believes that if you like the coverage your union or your employer provides, you should keep it. That’s why he supports a public option: a pathway to quality, affordable healthcare for every American who wants it, without taking away what’s already working for millions of families. He’ll also take on the pharmaceutical middlemen and pharmacy benefit managers that drive up costs while delivering nothing but profit to themselves.
James knows better than most what it takes to secure America’s borders — he spent years in the U.S. Coast Guard protecting America’s maritime border. Like most Americans, he believes we need to overhaul the immigration system: one that is safe, fair, transparent, and humane. That means investing in immigration judges to clear asylum backlogs, ending the use of immigration enforcement as a political weapon, creating a workable path to legal status for long-term residents who’ve built their lives here, and fixing a broken visa system that leaves families waiting decades. Smart border security isn’t just theater, and James has spent his career doing the real thing.
James’ mother taught in Florida’s public schools for over thirty years. His neighbors are retirees who built this country and veterans who defended it. He will never vote to cut Social Security, Medicare, or veterans’ benefits. That means opposing any effort to raise the retirement age, privatize Social Security, or gut the Department of Veteran’s Affairs under the guise of reform. The promises this country made to its seniors and its veterans are not line items to be balanced on the backs of the people who earned them.

15 endorsers listed on James Martin’s own campaign site: 6 officials, 8 organizations, 1 newspaper.
This is the campaign's claim, checked by an editor against its page; the endorsers have not confirmed it to us. Each name opens the campaign’s page with that name highlighted.
“I am proud to endorse James Martin for Congress. James is a patriot, a distinguished Coast Guard veteran, and a fighter for the people of Florida's Treasure Coast. At the White House, he showed strong judgement and a devotion to our country. He is focused on making life better for working people, and he will be ready to deliver on Day One," said Vice President Kamala D. Harris.”
“James Martin understands what Floridians are facing as a fourth-generation Floridian, a father raising his child here, and a Coast Guard veteran who has served this country. James will fight to lower the cost of living, fix the Treasure Coast’s clean water crisis, and strengthen the economy for everyone—and he has the policymaking experience at the Federal level to deliver. We trust James to be a strong partner and advocate, and we look forward to working with him to tackle some of Florida’s most pressing issues.”
“Veterans for Responsible Leadership is proud to endorse James Martin for Congress in Florida’s 21st District. James’s exemplary service in the U.S. Coast Guard brings the tested leadership and expertise our country desperately needs. He represents a new generation ready to deliver real results for the American people and our national security. James is a proven leader who gets things done,” said VFRL Executive Director Scott Peoples.”

A further $2,250 came from donors whose answer names no employer (blank), so it is not ranked. 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 ($127,111) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Outside spending $455,725 about Martin
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.
Independent expenditures (Schedule E) only. Electioneering communications and corporate or union member communications file separately; they are counted for Martinunder “Other outside spending” in the full finance detail, but not for the rest of the field, so every other row is a floor.
