@EddieSpeir Eddie, I've debated you twice. I never gave a final answer on any future debate. If you had questions, you could have called me. You have my number. The "plant" claim is false, and I've told you that in person. Let's focus on the issues, not political theater.
Before you cast your ballot, do your research.
Compare the records. Look at the experience. Then make your voice heard by voting Ed Pope for Congress in Florida's 16th District.
Election Day is August 18. 🇺🇸
Thank you to Rob and Gulfport Cigar Company for hosting a great evening. It was wonderful to be back in Gulfport, reconnecting with the community where I proudly served as a police officer. 🇺🇸
Today we recognize Juneteenth and reflect on the importance of freedom, resilience, and the progress we've made as a nation. Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth.
Thank you to Manatee Tiger Bay Club for hosting last night's debate at the Manatee Performing Arts Center. I appreciate the opportunity to share my vision for Florida's 16th Congressional District.
Great morning with fellow veterans at Bob Evans in Bradenton, sharing stories and catching up. It's always an honor to spend time with those who served our country.
Today I had the opportunity to attend the Hardee County Chamber of Commerce event and, most importantly, listen.
Hearing directly from the people of District 16 is one of the most important parts of this campaign. Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and concerns
Great evening at American Legion Post 11 in DeSoto County.
As a veteran, it's always an honor to spend time with fellow veterans and hear their perspectives on the issues facing our community.
Today I had the honor of supporting two outstanding young athletes who will soon be representing the United States in Italy.
America’s future is bright because of young leaders like these.
Good luck in Italy—we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way!
The future of America isn't found in Washington it's found in our communities, our families, and young people who still believe in hard work, service, and love of country.🇺🇸
This campaign isn't about who knows who. It's about who has the experience, judgment, and commitment to serve the people of District 16.
That's a conversation worth having.
I was proud to be the only Republican candidate who showed up.
Voters deserve leaders who engage, answer tough questions, and earn support through action.
Enjoyed spending the evening at Mugs Sports Bar & Grill meeting with voters, fellow candidates, and catching up with Bobby Williams along the campaign trail.
Grateful for the opportunity to connect with our community.
