Thinking for yourself matters

Position on major issues

Criminal justice and policing

Public Safety and Law Enforcement Support: Drawing directly on his professional background putting criminals away as a prosecutor, Weldon centers his campaign on maintaining law and order. He advocates for keeping Florida communities secure by strongly supporting law enforcement, earning an official endorsement from the Florida Police Benevolent Association (PBA) on September 8, 2026.

Economy, jobs and wages

Housing, groceries, insurance, and energy costs are squeezing families and shutting young people out of the life they were promised. Fixing it means standing up to the special interests that profit from higher prices and fewer choices.

Business Deregulation and Economy: Weldon focuses on supporting local commerce and reducing government burdens on independent businesses. His corporate platform is backed by prominent economic groups, receiving a formal endorsement from the Associated Industries of Florida (AIF) on September 21, 2026.

Healthcare

Healthcare Support: Because he comes from a family of physicians, healthcare is a personal focus for his platform. Weldon has promised to act as a strong advocate for the medical community in Tallahassee, earning the official endorsement of the Florida Medical Association PAC (FMA PAC) ahead of his primary race.
