Tony D'Arrigo

“I know what it's like to live paycheck to paycheck—because I'm still doing it. Like 62% of Americans, I face the stress of unexpected bills, medical emergencies, and the sharp rise in everyday costs like summer electricity. That's why I'm running for Congress. I'm committed to fighting inflation responsibly, restoring real affordability, and making sure America's prosperity reaches working families—not just the wealthy or well-connected. Every hardworking American deserves stability, comfort, and the freedom to plan for their future.”

“Healthcare. Full stop. Florida's 13th District has working families one diagnosis away from financial ruin. I know that personally; a 2012 coma, a 2022 cancer diagnosis, a 2023 TWO BROKEN LEGS injury. Without the ACA, I would have been destroyed financially. I understand the system from the inside as a patient, not a talking point. I support expanding coverage, de-privatizing hospitals, and protecting the ACA while pushing for real cost reform. I'm not beholden to hospital lobbyists or insurance PACs. That independence is exactly what's needed to get this done.”

“I'm not bought. I don't take dark money. Every dollar in my campaign is traceable and transparent, and my constituents have direct access to me; not a press secretary, not a handler, me. My opponents are partisans. I'm not. I don't vote the party line; I vote for what works. I've lived the healthcare crisis, the housing crunch, and the economic squeeze that my district deals with daily. That's not a campaign message, that's my biography.”

“Because nobody in Washington is actually solving anything — they're performing. I've lived paycheck to paycheck, fought a cancer diagnosis with limited coverage, and watched politicians on both sides use real people's suffering as a talking point. I'm running because I'm tired of waiting for someone else to do it. I'm not a career politician. I'm a small business owner and a Floridian who's been through it, and I believe that matters more than any party affiliation.”
