Brent Andersen is a conservative businessman, proven Republican leader, and dedicated community servant running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 20th Congressional District.

A devoted husband to Yula and father to their young daughter, Brent understands the pressures Florida families face every day—from skyrocketing insurance premiums and housing costs to taxes, healthcare access, and education. He is running to bring common-sense conservative leadership to Washington: fiscal responsibility, market-based solutions that lower costs for working families, strong borders and law enforcement, policies that empower parents, and a commitment to protecting the American Dream for the next generation.

I strongly support comprehensive reforms that prioritize border security as a non-negotiable foundation, followed by streamlining our legal immigration system. Secure borders prevent illegal crossings, drug trafficking, and threats to public safety - policies like ending catch and release, reinstating Remain in Mexico, and enhancing enforcement have proven effective. Simultaneously, we must reduce bureaucratic red tape in legal pathways. My wife’s journey from visa to green card to naturalized citizenship highlighted the frustrating delays and inefficiencies that deter those who follow the rules. Reforms should make legal immigration more efficient and merit-based while protecting American workers and taxpayers. Strong borders and workable legal systems uphold the rule of law and our nation’s traditions.

Unchecked government spending and expansive regulations in the name of climate change pose a greater financial threat to our economy than the climate itself. Bills like the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 exemplify wasteful earmarks for NGOs and special interests, driving inflation, higher energy costs, and debt without delivering proportional results. We must pursue practical resilience—such as infrastructure improvements—while rejecting policies that harm jobs and affordability. Economic prosperity and environmental stewardship are compatible when driven by innovation, not top-down mandates.

Two key priorities are lowering the cost of living for working families, seniors, and small businesses, and restoring public safety while securing our country. I will fight for legislation to cut wasteful spending - including codifying DOGE recommendations - reduce taxes and regulations, protect Social Security and Medicare, expand affordable health care access, and support small business job creation in South Florida. Reckless Washington spending and overregulation have driven up costs for groceries, housing, insurance, energy, and health care. I will also support bills to secure the border, back law enforcement, combat violent crime, prioritize American citizens, and protect election integrity via the SAVE Act. South Florida families deserve safe communities and a government that serves them.

The First Amendment protects the free and public expression of opinions, ideas, and criticism of government without censorship, interference, or restraint by the state. It safeguards a marketplace of ideas, enabling robust debate essential to democracy. Americans must retain the right to challenge authority openly - something too many countries suppress through harassment, arrest, or imprisonment. Government should not partner with private entities to silence dissent. True freedom of speech defends even unpopular views, ensuring self-governance thrives.

The President has primary authority over executive agencies and their employees as head of the Executive Branch. Congress’s role is legislative - passing laws, conducting oversight, and controlling funding - while the President executes and manages day to day operations. This separation of powers prevents overreach and ensures accountability.

Only U.S. citizens should vote, and requiring proof of citizenship (via the SAVE Act) is a common-sense safeguard, not a barrier. Claims that millions - particularly women - lack easy, affordable access to documents are overstated and not reflective of reality. Americans routinely obtain birth, marriage, or naturalization records for passports, jobs, and other purposes; historical records for ancestors go back generations. States can implement reasonable assistance programs (e.g., mobile units, fee waivers) for any rare edge cases, but the focus must remain on election integrity, not weakening standards.

The federal government should have a limited role, primarily supporting parents through tax incentives and grants for early child care access, rather than directing programs. Education is best handled at the state and local levels, with parents as the primary decision-makers. For K-12 and higher ed, we should reduce bureaucracy, promote school choice, accountability, and workforce readiness while avoiding federal overreach into curricula or operations.
