The price of food has spiked far beyond normal inflation rates, while corporations report record‑breaking profits.
The price of food has spiked far beyond normal inflation rates, while corporations report record‑breaking profits. Families across Florida are struggling to afford groceries, and that is unacceptable. Food is a matter of national security, just like electricity and water, and it must be protected from price gouging. John Fay will fight to stop unfair practices, ensuring groceries remain affordable for every family. At the same time, food quality must meet the highest standards. John supports shifting subsidies from corn and sugar to healthier crops, eliminating unsafe additives, and helping farmers transition to whole‑food practices without punishment. Protecting families and empowering producers go hand in hand — because food safety is about national health and resilience. Learn More

Florida’s seniors have spent their lives working hard, paying taxes, and building our communities. Seniors have already paid their dues; as a result, it’s time to honor their contributions with dignity and protection. Families and seniors shoulder the weight while in contrast, billion‑dollar companies walk away untouched.
Florida’s seniors have spent their lives working hard, paying taxes, and building our communities. All things considered, with inflation driving up the cost of everything from groceries to healthcare, they deserve relief, not more burdens. Income taxes on those over 65 are outdated and unfair. Seniors have already paid their dues; as a result, it’s time to honor their contributions with dignity and protection. At the same time, too many large corporations exploit loopholes to avoid paying their fair share. Families and seniors shoulder the weight while in contrast, billion‑dollar companies walk away untouched. That’s wrong. Above all, John Fay believes in a fair system: seniors should be free from unnecessary taxes, and corporations should contribute through a flat, transparent tax structure that ensures everyone carries their own weight and pays their Fair Share.

Our children deserve to grow up safe, supported, and prepared for the future. In today’s world, that means protecting them not only in classrooms and neighborhoods, but also online. The internet can be a powerful tool for learning, but it also exposes students to risks that no parent should have to worry about. John Fay believes internet safety must be a priority for K‑12 students. By working with parents, teachers, and technology leaders, we can establish safeguards that protect children from harmful content and exploitation, while still giving them access to the educational opportunities the digital world provides.
