Washington D.C. – Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement on FL-14:
“Congratulations to Mike Beltran, who will be a MAGA Warrior and fight alongside President Trump. Kathy Castor is Florida last, and her far-left record of hiking taxes, defunding law enforcement, and shutting down FEMA ahead of hurricane season is a recipe for yet another loss for Democrats this November.”
Kathy Castor:
Voted for the largest tax hike in history, blocking No Tax on Tips, Overtime and Social Security
Blocked funding for ICE agents who are removing the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens
Accepted an endorsement from a radical climate group that supports defunding the police
Shut down the Department of Homeland Security - including FEMA, the Coast Guard, and TSA - for 76 days to protect the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens
As a reminder:
President Trump carried FL-14 by 10.4% in 2024
Republicans hold a 9.43% voter registration advantage in FL-14
