FOR THE

WIN

 

 

 

 

 

Successful tenure in political, military, or civilian domains does not confer leadership; true leadership is strictly defined by an Absolute Responsibility To The People.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    WE  GOT  THIS

   If a candidate is offering one solution on one issue then they are only offering a band-aid on a broken bone; all our issues are interconnected, like social security and gas, meaning we cannot fix a symptom of one without addressing the systemic health of others. 

  "If they aren't explaining these links, they aren't giving you a real strategy—they’re just giving you slogans and sound bites."                              

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

       

                 ...and for the rest of you

Who I Am:  My name is Keith Varian and I am a Construction Tradesman. I went to college for Criminal Justice with economics as a minor, and paid for it by working nights at Key Corp in Albany, New York. I also worked at Lockheed Martin after college, before choosing a Simpler life in the Trades. I’m also (as of recent)  ...a very concerned Citizen.  

I remember my history teacher telling me in 1985, that the Social Security Trust Fund could be depleted by 2035. She said this in ...1985    I didnt worry about it, a Half century is a laughably long amount of time to fix that, especially with the talented, brilliant people who’ve walked those hallowed halls.

...and here we are

 

  ...waiting

 

...for 40 years

This is the ONE thing Republicans and Democrats CAN Agree On?!?

(If you ever needed a sign, Here it is)

 

Simply put, I am running for Congress to fight for working families, lower costs, defend our freedoms, and bring my experience as a Servant's Heart in action, to Washington, ensuring every voice matters.  By treating my education in Criminal Justice and Economics as a toolkit for doing my homework, and years of getting my hands ’dirty’ in the Trades, I’ve made sure I’m ready to tackle Washington’s dysfunction with both common sense and a deep understanding of the system. I’ve prepared myself to tackle Washington's dysfunction, delivering practical solutions for our district’s economic security, education, and safe neighborhoods.

Successful tenure in political, military, or civilian domains does not confer leadership; true leadership is strictly defined by an Absolute Responsibility To The People. 

 

And finally, with cooperation from Independents*  I would adopt a 4-step Plan:

Empower Individual Members: Reduce the power of committee chairs and party leadership to stifle legislation, allowing for more open amendments and floor debate.

Change the Budget Process: Shift from "baseline budgeting" (which automatically increases spending) to a system that requires a formal justification for all expenditures, such as zero-based budgeting.

Ensure Transparency in Fundraising: Reform campaign finance to make donor information immediately available, reducing the influence of dark money in elections.

Increase Time in District: Modify the legislative calendar to guarantee more time for representatives to engage with constituents in their home districts, breaking the "Washington bubble". 

*These reforms are designed to be implemented at the beginning of a new Congress to maximize support. 

They also aim to address the concentration of power among a few leaders and make the institution more responsive to the public rather than special interests.

🛑 STOP THE 100% TECO PASS-THROUGH LOOPHOLE! 🛑 ========================================================================                                         YOUR ELECTRIC BILL IS CAUGHT IN A GLOBAL ENERGY CRISIS. Hillsborough families are maxed out, but TECO shifts 100% of the risk to YOU.

🚨 THE FINANCIAL BURDEN IN HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY

MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME:       $6,628 Gross/Month

                     AVG. HOUSING COSTS:            $2,750/Month (Due to 6.65% Mortgage Rates)

                 PAYCHECK DEDUCTION:          41.5% of income is eaten by housing alone!

        CURRENT BASELINE BILL:      $145.58/Month (Up 82% over 5 years)

* INTERNATIONAL SHOCK: Global gas spikes are driving bills past $176/Month! 

 

🌐 THE GLOBAL REASON YOUR BILL IS RISING:

TECO’s grid is over 80% reliant on volatile natural gas. Right now, shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is paralyzed at 5% capacity. International markets are buying up U.S. gas exports to cover the gap. TECO has to compete on a global scale for fuel—and under current rules, they pass 100% of that pricespike to you. 

✊ OUR DEMAND: THE 80/20 RISK-SHARING LAW

  We are petitioning the Florida Public Service Commission to force TECO's corporate shareholders to absorb at least 20% of uncollected fuel spike deficits out of their own profit margins. If they share the financial pain, they will stop gambling on volatile fossil fuels. 👉

SIGN THE PETITION TODAY TO SHIELD HILLSBOROUGH RATEPAYERS!
