Florida — 3rd District

D Democratic Seth Harp

Supports strengthening Social Security and Medicare

Harp prioritizes solidifying Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid to prevent working families and seniors from facing financial ruin to stay alive. He criticizes Republican proposed cuts to entitlement programs that citizens have paid into and earned over their careers.

• Advocates solidifying Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid as essential health and financial safety nets.
• Opposes Republican legislative proposals that reduce or modify earned entitlement benefits.
• Supports using House Ways and Means Committee authority to fund healthcare programs.

“Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid all need to be solidified and strengthened. Not a single person should suffer economic hardships or financial ruin just to stay afloat and alive.”

“What the GOP is trying to take away from those that have paid for, earned and deserve within these services and programs is downright abhorrent.”

R Republican Kat Cammack

Supports middle-class investments and revenue initiatives

Harp advocates using House revenue powers to fund programs aimed at strengthening the middle class and funding healthcare and childcare infrastructure. He favors economic measures modeled on major historical legislative investments like the New Deal and Balanced Budget Act.

• Supports leveraging federal revenue tools to rebuild the middle class and expand safety-net funding.
• Prioritizes funding social programs over tax cuts that disproportionately benefit high earners.

“America is at its strongest when programs that are focused on the health and well-being of her people are funded and supported. Rebuilding the middle class is often talked about but never a priority in terms of a plan or execution.”

• Signed Americans for Tax Reform's Taxpayer Protection Pledge opposing income tax rate hikes.
• Voted Yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act) reconciliation act and H.R. 2811 (Limit, Save, Grow Act).

• Endorses the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for expanding high-speed internet and transportation.
• Opposes cuts to FEMA funding and opposes permitting commercial water siphoning from Florida springs.

“Here in Florida the GOP is playing Russian Roulette with FEMA cuts and allowing companies to siphon fresh water from our springs to increase profits. It is putting us all in harm’s way.”

“President Biden’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is so good that the Republicans that voted against it continue to take credit for it in their districts!”

• Proposes an 8-to-10-year limit for members of the House of Representatives.
• Supports a 12-year (two-term) ceiling for U.S. Senators.

“Due to the nature of the House of Representatives being a 2-year endeavor, I am good with 8-10 years as a ceiling as well.”

R Republican Kat Cammack

Supports federal constitutional term limits

• Opposes amnesty in any form for noncitizens who enter the United States unlawfully.
• Pledges continued support for constructing a physical southern border barrier.

“Be assured that on day one, as your Representative, I will work with the Trump Administration to help build the wall and secure the border. You can also be certain that I will never support amnesty of any kind for those who illegally enter our country.”

“The failures to stop unauthorized crossings over the past several decades have led to serious national security threats and an influx of individuals who have illegally entered our county.”

D Democratic Seth Harp

Supports targeted childcare stipends for families

Harp proposes the Child Unity Break Stipend (C.U.B.S. Act) as part of his core platform to reduce working families' childcare expenses. He argues that targeted childcare relief is a more practical use of public funds than untargeted direct cash payments for having children.

• Proposes the C.U.B.S. Act (Child Unity Break Stipend) to offset family childcare costs.
• Prioritizes early childhood development funding over broad cash payouts.

“Providing families relief when it comes to child care, needs to become a priority. Seeing that children who are young and impressionable receive proper care and development is a better use our nation’s resources than handing out $2,500 checks for people to have a child.”
