The Florida Secretary of State only has three candidates listed as having filed to run for Rep. Matt Gaetz’s seat:
- Gray, Stanley Douglas (DEM)
- Kama, Uloma Ekpete (REP)
- Minus, Tevin Channing (NPA)
Stanley Gray is a U.S. Navy Vietnam veteran who lives in Milton. See Facebook page.
According to Ballotpedia, Uloma Ekpete Kama earned an M.D. from the University of Lagos in 2005 and a graduate degree from Loma Linda University in 2013. Her career experience includes working as a physician. She has been associated with ACDIS, AHIMA, American Public Health Association, and Doctors Without Borders. She ran Georgia’s 13th Congressional District and lost in the Democratic primary on May 21, 2024. Of the seven candidates, she came in last.
Tevin Channing Minus might be this person I found on Linkedin – A Speech Language Pathologist, who works for Action Therapy Group, and lives in Pace. See Facebook page.
On Federal Election Commission lists three different candidates but has not set up a page for the 2015 special election (Note: I did more digging and found FEC Form 2s on more):
- Vazquez, Rudy Kassime (REP)
- Pittman, Bernadette (REP)
- Rudman, Joel Dr. (REP)
Rudy Kassime Vazquez lives in Middleburg, FL. He filed to run in 5/20/24 but never qualified to run with Florida Secretary of State, so he might not be running in 2025.
Florida Politics reported Bernadette Pittman is the owner and CEO Boots on the Ground Bikers for Trump in Northwest Florida. She also is the CEO of boathouse construction company Pittman Marine in Milton. Facebook page.
Dr. Joel Rudman is a state representative living in Navarre. Read more.
