Protecting public schools
Meet Josh Weil
I'm running for Congress to build a brighter future for all Floridians.
I’m Joshua Weil – a proud single father and public school educator. I want to represent you in the U.S. Congress, I want to help the people of Florida, I want to protect our schools, and with your help, I want to make a brighter future for all of us.
Real Solutions to Real Problems
I live in Orlando with my two boys: David & Alexander; and our cat—Chatterbox. I get up every morning and make four breakfasts and three lunches—before shuffling my kids off to school. We play Magic cards, watch hockey, and never miss a Marvel Comic Universe (MCU) film. What I am NOT is a career politician looking to maintain the status quo in Washington! I am a teacher who wants to help the people of Florida; and make a brighter future for all of us.
I was moved to join this race by my children and students, who deserve to grow into a society where we care about the facts, the planet, and each other. I have also talked to many families, small business owners, seniors, and other residents who have been hit hard by inflation and recent natural disasters. We need real world solutions—not just talking points—that address real problems; such as how to afford buying a new home (and attaining the American Dream for first time home owners).
We need to protect our environment, fix healthcare, lower drug prices, keep up with inflation for seniors living on a fixed income, and reset our economy—so that it works for everyone (not just the rich). And if we can afford “tax breaks” for the wealthy, then surely we can find a few nickels and dimes in the couch for the little guys—doing most of the work in America through small businesses and 9-5 jobs.
We Can Do Better Than Fine
I think we can do better than “fine.” I believe that electing an “average candidate” is NOT enough. I always encourage all of my students to strive for the best (A+ grade in school). Why should we settle for anything less than excellent, outstanding, or great for our next representative in the U.S. Congress? “We the people” are selecting a person to represent us from Florida (NOT elite oligarchs, career politicians, or out of touch big shots on social media).
There’s plenty of work to be done. And working together, we can make a difference. Please vote for a brighter future for Florida. We don’t need to “re-invent the wheel” because I am running for Congress to represent you. I humbly ask for your vote and your support. Thank you for your consideration.
