Kat Cammack, the Congresswoman-elect for FL-03, will be the youngest Republican woman serving in the 117th Congress.
Kat is a small business owner with grit, who grew up on a cattle ranch. She is a third generation sandblaster, an alumnus of the United States Naval War College, and was the longtime former Deputy Chief of Staff for Florida's 3rd Congressional District prior to her election.
As the 3rd generation in the family business of monuments and commercial sandblasting, Kat learned early on both the value of hard work and the pressures that small family businesses face, ranging from labor challenges to regulations.
In 2011, her family received the devastating news that they lost their small cattle ranch due to a failed Obama-era program, and they were forced to evict. After being homeless for several months, Kat was motivated by her recent personal experience with the failures of big government. She decided to pull herself up by her bootstraps and became a part of the solution to ensure no other family had to endure what she did due to the failures of Washington.
Kat is married to her husband Matt, a Gainesville native, who is a Firefighter/Paramedic &amp; SWAT Medic. Together, they co-founded a non-profit organization called “The Grit Foundation,” whose mission is to support local law enforcement, veterans, and first responders.

The Alabama public has voted to elect Republican Congressman Mo Brooks to public office 14 times. As such, Mo Brooks has successfully helped carry the GOP banner in general elections more than any other current Alabama office-holder. The public has elected Mo Brooks five times as a state legislator, four times as a Madison County Commissioner, and five times as a U.S. Congressman.

Mo Brooks was first elected to public office as a member of the Alabama House of Representatives in 1982. At the time, Mo Brooks was one of only 11 Republican legislators (out of 140 total) and the only elected Republican legislator north of Birmingham.

Mo Brooks was re-elected to the Alabama House in 1983, 1986, and 1990. While in the legislature, Brooks was elected Republican House Caucus Chairman three times and was ranked number one (out of 140 legislators) by the Alabama Taxpayers’ Defense Fund in the fight to protect family incomes from higher taxes. He was also ranked in the top 20 percent by Alabama Alliance of Business &amp; Industry on pro-jobs, tort reform, and free enterprise issues and was recognized as one of the legislature’s most effective legislators by Alabama Magazine.

In 1996, Mo Brooks ran for the Madison County Commission and unseated an eight-year incumbent. He was re-elected to the Commission in 2000, 2004, and 2008.

In 2010, Mo Brooks unseated an incumbent Congressman to become the first Republican elected to Congress in Alabama’s Fifth Congressional District in more than 130 years. Mo Brooks has been re-elected to Congress four times, every time with a reelection vote exceeding 60%.

Congressman Mo Brooks serves on two influential House committees: Armed Services and Science, Space, and Technology. Congressman Brooks also serves on three important House subcommittees: the Strategic Forces and Readiness subcommittees on Armed Services and the Space subcommittee on Science, Space, and Technology.

Now in his 6th term, Congressman Brooks’ seniority has improved to #8 out of 26 Republicans on Armed Services and #2 out of 15 Republicans on Science, Space, and Technology.

Congressman Brooks grew up in the Tennessee Valley. Mo’s parents, Jack &amp; Betty Brooks, taught him early on that study and hard work were expected and required. They also taught him the importance of honesty, and to never be shy about speaking up and fighting for important principles. Congressman Brooks’ father, Jack Brooks, an electrical engineer, retired from Redstone Arsenal’s Metrology Center. Brooks’ mother, Betty Brooks, taught economics and government for over 20 years at Lee High School in Huntsville.

Congressman Brooks graduated from Grissom High School in 1972 (where he was all-city in baseball and an active member on two state championship debate teams). He graduated from Duke University in three years with a double major in political science and economics, with highest honors in economics. In 1978, he graduated from the University of Alabama Law School.

After graduation, Mo Brooks worked as a prosecutor in the Tuscaloosa District Attorney’s office, where he earned a solid "tough-on-crime" reputation. Mo Brooks also served as Madison County’s District Attorney in 1991 and 1992.

During every year except when he served as a prosecutor, court clerk, or Congressman, the bulk of Brooks’ income came from the private sector through his private legal practice.

In 1995-1996, Mo Brooks served as a Special Assistant Attorney General for then Attorney General Jeff Sessions and, from 1996-2002, as a Special Assistant Attorney General for then Attorney General Bill Pryor.

In 1976, Congressman Brooks married Martha Jenkins of Toledo; they met at Duke University. Martha graduated from the University of Alabama with an accounting degree. She later retired as a certified public accountant and obtained a math and education major from the University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2005. She taught math at Whitesburg Middle School.

Mo and Martha are the proud parents of four children and grandparents of ten grandchildren.

Rick Scott was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2018 and is currently serving his first term representing the state of Florida. Prior to his election to the U.S. Senate, Rick Scott served two terms as the 45th Governor of Florida, working every day to turn around Florida’s economy and secure the state’s future as the best place for families and businesses to succeed.  Scott grew up in public housing in the Midwest as his adoptive father, a World War II veteran and truck driver, and his mother, a store clerk, struggled to financially support their family. After marrying his high school sweetheart, Ann, Scott joined the Navy, where he served active duty as a radar man aboard the USS Glover. He used the G.I. Bill to attend the University of Missouri, Kansas City, and eventually opened his first business – a donut shop. Scott went on to run the world’s largest healthcare company and continues to fight every day so families across the state can have the same opportunities he had to live the American dream.

&nbsp;

Rick Scott knows firsthand that a good paying job is one of the most important things for a family, and following Florida’s economic collapse ten years ago, he made the decision to run for governor as a businessman with no political experience. During his term as Governor, he successfully championed more than $10 billion in tax cuts and cut thousands of burdensome regulations that led Florida businesses to create nearly 1.7 million new jobs. Under his leadership, the unemployment rate dropped from 11 percent to 3.3 percent, Florida paid down $10 billion in state debt, and record investments were made in what matters most to Floridians – education, the environment, and public safety.

Rick Scott and his wife, Ann, have been married for 48 years and have two daughters, Allison and Jordan, six grandsons, Auguste, Quinton, Sebastian, Eli, Louie and Jude, and one granddaughter, Zelda Ann.

Throughout his life, Ted Cruz has proven to be a passionate and effective fighter for limited government, economic growth, and the Constitution.
Ted’s calling to public service has been inspired by his firsthand observation of the pursuit of freedom and opportunity in America. Ted’s mother, Eleanor, was born in Delaware to an Irish and Italian
working-class family. She became the first in her family to go to college, graduated from Rice University with a degree in mathematics, and became a pioneering computer programmer in the 1950s.
After being tortured and imprisoned in Cuba, Ted’s father, Rafael, fled to the United States to attend the University of Texas at Austin in 1957. He then started a small business in the oil and gas industry. Today, Ted’s father is a
pastor in Dallas.
As Solicitor General for the State of Texas and in private practice, Ted authored more than 80 U.S. Supreme Court briefs and argued 43 oral arguments, including nine before the U.S. Supreme Court. He also won an unprecedented series of landmark national victories that include his defense of U.S. sovereignty against the UN and the World Court in Medellin v. Texas, our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, the constitutionality of the Ten Commandments monument at the Texas StateCapitol, and the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance.
In the U.S. Senate, Ted has led the fight to repeal Obamacare, to secure the border, and to confirm Justice Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court. He has also led the fight to defend life, marriage, the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, and our entire Bill of Rights. And most importantly, he’s kept his promise to speak the truth and do what he said he’d do.
Ted has proven to be the exact type of courageous conservative we need in the U.S. Senate to restore economic growth, defend our Constitution, and protect the values we all hold dear. Ted, his wife Heidi, their two daughters, Caroline and Catherine, and his entire family have been blessed to live the American Dream — the idea that anyone, through hard work and determination, can achieve anything. And he is committed to ensuring every family has that same opportunity.

Dr. Sebastian Gorka’s ascent could not have been more unusual, or more of a true “American Story.” To find out how it began, you have to go back to the 1950s, to Communist controlled Hungary.

Hoping for freedom after the utter devastation of the Second War, the proud nation of Hungary was instead taken over by a Stalinist dictatorship subordinate to Moscow. One young man, who had suffered under the Nazis, decided to resist and so Paul Gorka created a secret Christian student organization to subvert the Communist stranglehold of his homeland. Paul was eventually betrayed by the British double-agent Kim Philby, arrested by the Secret Police, tortured and then given a life sentence for fighting for democracy and liberty. After two years in solitary confinement, two years down a prison coal mine, and two years in the central political prison in Budapest, Paul was eventually liberated by the brave freedom fighters of the Hungarian Revolution of 1956.

In 2008 he moved to America with his family where he continued to work for the Defense Department and become a proud American citizen in 2012. He obtained his doctorate in Political Science from Corvinus University in Budapest and was a fellow at Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. In Washington, he served as Associate Dean for Congressional Affairs and Relations to the Special Operations Community at National Defense University and has also taught on the Masters program at Georgetown University.

At 24-years-old, Tomi Lahren is the youngest political talk show host in history. She ignited a
firestorm with her “Red, White, Blue and Unfiltered Final Thoughts” following the Chattanooga
terrorist attack that killed three Marines and one Sailor.
Controversy is her specialty. She is best known for her signature “Final Thoughts” on everything
from Beyoncé to President Obama and Hillary Clinton. She has exceeded 550 million views in
the last year, alone. Lahren was previously the host of One America News Network’s “On Point
with Tomi Lahren.” She created, wrote and designed the show from scratch.
Lahren's sassy sense of humor was showcased at the 2015 Conservative Political Action
Conference (CPAC). She destroyed the Republican stereotype of old, rich, white men. Her
Hillary Clinton pantsuit joke won over the CPAC crowd and ruffled a few feathers on the left.
Lahren was born and raised in Rapid City, South Dakota. Her parents, both from ranching
backgrounds, taught her the value of hard work. Her love of political discussion comes from
family table debates centered on the nightly news.
Not one to play it safe, Lahren moved to Las Vegas, Nevada to attend college at the University
of Nevada, Las Vegas. She studied broadcast journalism and political science. She also
produced and hosted a political roundtable show The Scramble for UNLV-TV.
Two months before college graduation, Lahren contacted One America News Network for an
internship opportunity. After just one interview with network owner, Robert Herring, she was
offered her own political talk show. On Point with Tomi Lahren was born.
Lahren is not one to pull any punches. Immigration, national security and race relations are her
hot buttons. As a proud South Dakotan, she holds on to her Second Amendment rights, as well.

While most of his peers had their heads buried in comic books, a 13-year-old Chris Buskirk was devouring issues of National Review. It was the 1980s, and the conservative philosophies of Reagan ruled the day. As he became more curious about the writers he admired —postwar conservatives, intellectuals, and university professors—he began reading their works from 20 years prior. What he found animated him.

“This was stuff that was really thoughtful, Buskirk said. “If somebody came up with a policy idea, it was based on a very well developed worldview, based on years of learning.”

Buskirk went on to study political science and government at Claremont McKenna College, in the hopes of joining his heroes at the pinnacle of conservative thought. But as the thinkers he admired passed away, and the level of discourse was lowered, he left politics and went into business, spending the next two decades as an entrepreneur.

Fast forward to 2015, when a new strain of Republican thought was ascendant. “I got this idea,” Buskirk said. “I thought, ‘You know what? This is a unique political moment. A lot of things are up for grabs. I could go back to doing what I really love. There’s actually an opportunity here to move the needle in a positive direction.’” So in 2016, Buskirk created American Greatness.

“I actually started from the premise that most people actually are smarter than media generally gives them credit for. So if you pitch it a little higher, people will respond to that. We thought that legacy of conservative journalism had really descended to a low level … to a point where it was just sort of hyperbolic and outrage porn for the Right. We wanted to resurrect a more serious journalistic enterprise that represented something that was thoughtful.”

Today, Buskirk and his team have created a booming website, a podcast to boot, and a following of readers of all political stripes. Buskirk says that his journalistic endeavor is informed by the “Greatness Agenda,” which, simply put, holds a duty to citizenship before ideology or party.
