Jorge Martinez's American story began in 1973, when he stepped off a plane from Cuba as an eight-year-old boy. He came with his father, his mother, and his two younger brothers — a family of five who arrived with little more than each other and an unshakable faith in the promise of freedom.

That faith was rewarded the way it so often is in America: through work. The Martinez family settled in Florida in 1976 and made Orlando home in 1980, putting down roots in the Pine Hills neighborhood. Jorge attended Robinswood Middle School and West Orange High School, then earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with a major in accounting, from the University of Central Florida.

An America First conservative fighting for Florida's 9th Congressional District.
I have been a Republican since before I could vote — I campaigned for Ronald Reagan in 1980 — and I still believe in what he believed: limited government, lower taxes, a balanced budget, a strong defense, and parental rights. Having watched my family flee a communist regime, I will always stand firm against socialism. And after more than thirty years building businesses here in Central Florida, I know what it takes to meet a payroll and balance a real budget — a discipline Washington badly needs.

Today I am worried about the country my daughters and granddaughter will inherit. Washington spends money it does not have, and working families pay for it — through inflation, a rising cost of living, and a tax burden that has grown too heavy at every level of government.

That is why I am running to support President Trump and the America First agenda — to get our economy back on track, bring down costs, secure our border, and put American workers and families first. The President needs partners in Congress who will help finish the job, and I intend to be one of them.

Florida families are being squeezed from every direction. Groceries are up. Insurance is up. Rent and homeowner's premiums have ballooned out of reach. The cause isn't a mystery — runaway federal spending and bad energy policy. The fix isn't either.

Florida's seniors paid into Social Security and Medicare their entire working lives. These are earned benefits — not "entitlements" to be cut, and not piggy banks for Washington to raid. Jorge will defend them, period.

The border crisis isn't an abstract debate — it's killing Floridians. Fentanyl is now the leading cause of death for adults under 45 in our state. Cartels run transnational human-trafficking operations through our cities. Border policy isn't compassionate when it costs American lives.

Florida is safer than most states because we still respect law enforcement. But the "defund" movement and soft-on-crime prosecutors elsewhere have emboldened criminals across the country. Jorge will fight to keep Florida safe and push back on policies that put criminals ahead of victims.
