Do not get disappointed. It was a close race.

Your TV ads were good and clear. Maybe more house to house door knocking and meeting and making as many civic club lunchoens starting early might help more folks to know you. And fish fry meetings are always good.

You are a good presenter. Get as much community time as you can – and get back in the game next time.

I have spent time with Rebekah only once, but she was very impressive, particularly at her age. I am most impressed by the causes she has advocated up to this point…reduced government spending, personal liberty, and adherence to the Constitution. These are causes that should be near and dear to younger generations who will pay the price of their elders (of which I am one) spending profligacy and the ever expanding regulatory state.

I welcome your interest for this important office. We Vets need some serious help with Vet. ADMIN. I have complained to Miller. All his forms have disclaimer.. can not force anything. Incompetency of organization is beyond belief. Please be careful what you promise voters. Admin. problems will not be solved until people are held accountable, which they certainly are not. Suspect federal union strength. I doubt employees even need to show for work. A your of Pensacola will show over half of stations are not manned indicating wasted money for equipment and long wait times. We need to find a representative that has the authority to get action. MILLER has not shown this autjlhority which is needed. You need to check on the authority you will have BEFORE you promise us for your vote. Currently the admin. will not even acknowledge a formal written complaint. Discusting! I would gladly vote for you IF you can get action. Good luck.

I remember seeing her on Youtube in 2008, making pro-liberty videos. What a long way she has come. If she wins she and Justin Amash will be the most pro-liberty members of Congress.

Rebekah understand policy inside and out and would be a welcome voice in the Congress. She will represent us well and I am thrilled to support her.

She is the minimum age to qualify to run for Congress, but there are exceptions to every rule. I am willing to listen to her platform. After all, look at the mess the country is in today with the old farts in Washington who have grown roots so deep that you couldn’t pull them up with a tractor.

@Bryan Bethea
I’m sure she’s not for what you are. Neither are a majority of Floridians. Neither are a majority of lawmakers but they say what they have to so as not to upset anyone. Oh yes, things have changed, people now hide their good morals from those like you who twist and pervert the constitution.
So go ahead, ask the question of her you really wanna ask.

{Very few people have the wisdom and maturity at 25 to adequately represent over 700,000 people.}

So the statement made above is kinda simple minded and unfair. I mean, how has WISDOM and MATURITY worked for us so far, huh? Our Country is a mess and Congress is a mess!

Maybe getting in some young, motivated, smart and savvy people is exactly what America needs. Besides, it is their generation who will be inheriting this mess from all the old farts who can barely walk to their fancy congress seats and who are too greedy to retire, so we should at least consider giving them an opportunity to make a difference and not hold their age and/or lack of experience against them.

REGARDING:
“How about telling us what you are FOR instead of the laundry list of things you are AGAINST.”

FROM ABOVE, She is for:
“a federal government that abides by our Constitution.”
“spending cuts”
“fiscally conservative coalitions nationwide”
“cut spending and debt,”
“protect educational freedom,”
“take care of our veterans,”
” lower spending and debt among the public, elected officials, and candidates across the country.” (Whatever that means as stated. If it had stopped after the word “public” I would know, but with “elected officials, and candidates across the country,” added, it’s murkier.)
“Every child born today will face tens of thousands of dollars in debt …. my generation’s right to be free from this burden.”

She doesn’t spell out specifics regarding how she hopes to achieve these goals — especially if they are contradictory, but she DOES say what they are.

David for an even better world

I’m sorry, while her enthusiasm might be lauded, she is simply too young to run for Congress. She is the minimum age set forth in the Constitution for a member of the House. Very few people have the wisdom and maturity at 25 to adequately represent over 700,000 people. Perhaps she is the exception, but she is a run of the mill anti-government type based on her quotes in the article. How about telling us what you are FOR instead of the laundry list of things you are AGAINST.
