I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit. I stepped up when my country needed a soldier and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.

We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.
America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.

Gas. Groceries. Housing. Insurance. Floridians are paying more for the basics while career politicians like Ashley Moody protect a broken system. My Florida First Agenda is built around two promises: I will cut your costs and crush corruption. floridapolitics.com/archives/795...
The Supreme Court’s decisions have crushed the Voting Rights Act. Now, corrupt Florida politicians are rigging maps and trying to steal the midterm elections. Carving up communities and silencing our voices is unacceptable and un-American. www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/05/09/n...
Since Ashley Moody took office, the price of gas has increased by 32.7%. I’ll do things differently – I’m fighting to lower costs for Florida families, and that starts with an immediate pause on the federal gas tax to provide immediate relief for Floridians. floridapolitics.com/archives/794...
This past weekend, I spent time speaking to folks in line for a Donald Trump rally in The Villages. And I kept hearing the same story: rising costs, unaffordable housing, and families feeling the squeeze. No matter who they're voting for, people are just trying to make it work.
