Former Escambia County Commissioner Gene Valentino is asking for campaign contributions to run for Matt Gaetz’s congressional seat. You can donate by Apple Pay or credit card.
- Valentino texted me that he is running and has “established a contract with the Washington DC group two days ago. and we are mobilizing now. Announcement forthcoming.
The county commissioner has been out of politics since 2014, when he lost the District 2 primary to Doug Underhill, 2,788 to 1,672. Since 2020, he has hosted the GrassRoots TruthCast podcast. He has been interviewed on Newsmax and several right-wing programs.
From his website:
We defend the “patriotic many” and expose the “antics” of the few. Our world is envious and sees that our Nation has been threatened by these few. We can transition to newer, smarter, and better ways, but cannot regress into Socialism and Marxism. Hostile social and political behavior attempts to destroy our lives and lifestyle. GrassRoots TruthCast supports freedom, liberty, and the actions necessary to protect this longest-lasting Constitutional Republic.
