Key Votes
The record
No public voting record
Casey Askar has not held elected public office. He is a franchise businessman (restaurant/food-service owner, Naples) and Marine veteran; his 2020 bid for Florida 19th District ended in the Republican primary.

Official · GOTV Intel finding (absence of record)
Newest first. A close vote was decided by 5% of the votes cast or less (or 10 votes or fewer, under a fifth of the votes). Broke with party: voted against most of their party, where the record gives the party split.

In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“lifelong Republican, lifelong Christian conservative. I believe that this country is a Judeo-Christian nation, and I am going to fight and champion to keep it that way.”
“I’m as good as the people that I’ve got around me, and I’ve always invested in people in Main Street, not Wall Street, and that resonated well”
“Florida is the capital of Latin America, and so we’ve got to make sure that we’re suppressing communism, controlling the trade the way that we are, and root communism out … If we root communism out, it makes us safer”
“I think it’s a good start, but it’s a temporary fix. I want to do a long-term solution … This is something that I’ve advocated for many years, being in the fuel distribution supply business, and I think that we’re taxed way too high at the pump.”
“It is important that all Americans—Republicans, Democrats, and Independents—continue to denounce Socialism and Democratic Socialism, and to defend our American way of life”
“As a U.S. Marine veteran, proven job creator & rock-solid America First fighter — I am honored to be your FL-22 Republican nominee. I’ll fight for you, for Florida, and alongside President Trump. On to November!”

“With Cuba, same thing, Cuba is the cancer of our hemisphere that's spreading that. So, I think it's very important to the community to clear out communism in those two countries and keep it from spreading from Brazil and so forth.”
“One key committee that's very important to me is appropriation.”
“Small business is the biggest employer in the country, so we've got to make sure - they don't even want us to help them. I'm telling you directly, small business doesn't want governments help, they just want government to stay away from them, and that's really what I want to do.”
“I would do exactly what I've done my entire career is build jobs and create opportunity. That's what I do … I do it from the grassroots up. I'm a big advocate of government staying out of our pockets, controlling taxes, so that way the free markets can do their thing and flourish. I live that. I do that.”
“Washington is spending its way into debt at a rate of a trillion dollars of debt every 90 days. That’s unsustainable … With our debt now exceeding our entire Gross Domestic Product, it adds to the cost of inflation we see at the grocery store, the gas pump, in housing, and pretty much everything else in our economy.”
“I’m running to create a ‘prosperity society’ so we can all share in the American Dream and enjoy the blessings of comfort and prosperity. If my service in Congress helps provide that for our South Florida families, what greater gift can I give?”
“Today, I employ thousands of Floridians across the 22nd Congressional district and South Florida. They’re my extended family. I worry about the health of their financial futures if we don’t fix the mess in Washington.”
“Washington is broken, and I know how to fix it. I’m a patriot who loves our country and a business leader with the skills to fix what’s broken in Washington”
