Chad Johnson
Amy Trask
Position on major issues
Chad Johnson is a sixth-generation Floridian, University of Florida graduate, and longtime Levy County resident. His background includes public service, agriculture, real estate, and professional leadership. He is campaigning to represent District 22 by supporting free markets, limited government, private property rights, agriculture, natural resources, and the district’s quality of life.
Amy Trask is a mother, domestic violence survivor, advocate, and candidate for Florida House District 22. Her experiences as a single parent, survivor, and self-advocate exposed serious gaps between Florida’s laws and the realities faced by vulnerable families. After navigating the legal system to reunite with her son, she turned her experience into bipartisan legislative advocacy, including work on the unanimously passed HAVEN Act. She is running to bring practical, firsthand experience to Tallahassee and represent Floridians who feel overlooked by career politicians.

Thinking for yourself matters
“Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness” are the foundation of our freedom. I’m pro-life, pro-family, and pro-gun. I will always defend our constitutional rights!

No public positions found.
I’ll fight to stop sales of Florida farmland to China and other foreign adversaries, or efforts to remove our agriculture tax exemption, and I’ll work to block any attempts to export our precious water resources to South Florida and other metropolitan areas.
Liberal policy groups are constantly attacking our private property rights. We must protect family farms, ranches, and small businesses.
Florida is prosperous because of free markets, limited government, and private property rights. I’ll always defend these policies and fight to protect District 22’s quality of life, and our agriculture and natural resources.

Safe Shelter was written to protect families who seek refuge in certified domestic violence shelters and prevent the system from treating that decision as a reason to disrupt an otherwise safe placement.
Fostering with Dignity would require Florida to provide children entering out-of-home care with real luggage — a suitcase, duffel bag, or backpack — instead.
Survivor Safety would create a rebuttable presumption of reasonable fear for survivors who defend themselves against documented abusers, require trauma-informed training in the justice system, and establish a process to review past cases where evidence of abuse may have been overlooked.

Joe Biden and woke liberals in Congress are waging war on American values and doing nothing to secure the border. Florida must continue to lead on border security and pushing back on Washington overreach.
Immigration and Border Security: Aligning with "America First" policies, Johnson strongly advocates for state-level actions to secure the southern border, criticizing federal overreach and pushing for stricter immigration enforcement within Florida.
