Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Dan Weldon is a Tampa native who learned early that fighting for what’s right often means taking on powerful people.

That instinct followed him north to the University of Florida, where he walked on to the football team. As a linebacker for the Gators, he learned firsthand what discipline, loyalty, and toughness actually mean, and what it takes to make the right call under pressure when others are counting on you.

While most students stayed quiet, Dan stepped into the fight for conservative values on campus. He founded a conservative student organization and built it into one of the largest chapters in the country. At a time when conservative voices were routinely sidelined, he brought the first conservative speaker to the University of Florida in nearly a decade. He also invited Holocaust survivor Irving Roth to campus to speak about truth, history, and the consequences of silence.

Dan’s work didn’t stop at campus gates. In 2019, he ran for chairman of the statewide College Republicans of Florida and was elected with more than two-thirds of the vote. During his tenure, he grew membership by several thousand and helped organize one of the largest door-knocking efforts in the group’s history for a critical Florida Senate race.

Dan went on to graduate with honors from the University of Florida Levin College of Law. He began his legal career as a prosecutor.

Dan is running because he’s tired of Washington politicians putting themselves before the people they back home.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

The American Dream Comes First. For young Americans, the American Dream is harder to reach than it was for their parents and grandparents. Buying a home, starting a family, and building a stable life now require jumping through hoops created by bad policy and political complacency. Dan believes the government’s job is to clear the path for opportunity so that anyone can go out, work hard, and provide for their family.America First Means Putting Americans First. Dan supports the America First agenda championed by Donald Trump—securing the border, protecting American jobs, standing up to China, and putting American workers before global interests. America First is not a slogan. It’s a governing principle. And it only works if leaders are willing to fight the interests that profit from doing the opposite.Affordability Is the Breaking Point. Housing, groceries, insurance, and energy costs are squeezing families and shutting young people out of the life they were promised. Dan believes affordability is the clearest sign that Washington has lost touch. Fixing it requires standing up to the special interests that benefit from higher prices and fewer choices.
