Key Votes

The record

  • No public voting record

    Pia Dandiya has not held elected public office. Her White House Fellowship (U.S. Department of Education) was an appointed staff role, not an office with a voting record; her other roles carry no roll-call record. Checked 2026-09-24 against campaign biography, press coverage of the 2026 race, and the absence of any elected office in the catalog.

    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

“Florida families are already getting crushed by rising costs, and too many are going without care because they simply can’t afford it. Casey Askar wants to make it worse by gutting their healthcare to appease the same corrupt Washington politicians who keep putting special interests ahead of working families”

I think of this the way that I think of having run a high school, it’s similar to running for office, same mission, potentially different environment. And we’re gonna give it our all.”

“I would argue that most families are not staying up at night worried about the congressional lines across the state, but they are staying up at night wondering how they’re going to make ends meet, about whether we are handing our children a country, that we are leaving them in good hands.”
