James T. Martin

James’ path to public service in the U.S. Coast Guard started with a deep love of wild Florida — particularly its water. In Congress, he will relentlessly seek to end the Treasure Coast’s clean water crisis. That means completing Everglades restoration, cleaning up Lake Okeechobee, stopping toxic discharges to the St. Lucie Estuary and Indian River Lagoon, and never compromising or curtailing bedrock environmental laws.

“In Florida’s 21st District, people work hard, play by the rules, and expect their leaders to serve with integrity not cater to the wealthy few,” said James Martin. “Members of Congress are not above the people they serve. Public service comes with responsibility, not special privileges. If we want to end corruption and restore trust in our government, then we must end insider privilege and put the public first. I welcome every candidate, including Brian Mast, in this race to join me in taking this pledge.”

James believes healthcare is a human right — but he also believes that if you like the coverage your union or your employer provides, you should keep it. That’s why he supports a public option: a pathway to quality, affordable healthcare for every American who wants it, without taking away what’s already working for millions of families. He’ll also take on the pharmaceutical middlemen and pharmacy benefit managers that drive up costs while delivering nothing but profit to themselves.

He will never vote to cut Social Security, Medicare, or veterans’ benefits. That means opposing any effort to raise the retirement age, privatize Social Security, or gut the Department of Veteran’s Affairs under the guise of reform.

James knows better than most what it takes to secure America’s borders — he spent years in the U.S. Coast Guard protecting America’s maritime border. Like most Americans, he believes we need to overhaul the immigration system: one that is safe, fair, transparent, and humane. That means investing in immigration judges to clear asylum backlogs, ending the use of immigration enforcement as a political weapon, creating a workable path to legal status for long-term residents who’ve built their lives here, and fixing a broken visa system that leaves families waiting decades.
