The problem isn’t a mystery. It’s on your bills.

$6,323

Home insurance

The average Palm Beach County premium. In Insurify’s 2026 national report, Florida is the most expensive state in the country for homeowners insurance. The state reforms are working: the county average has fallen from $6,614 (Jan. 2025) to $6,412 (Jan. 2026) to $6,323 (July 2026), and about 26,000 Palm Beach County Citizens policyholders are getting an average 11.9% rate cut in 2026. Falling is not the same as affordable.

Voted No

Property taxes

On Feb. 19, 2026 the Florida House passed CS/CS/HJR 203 — a proposed amendment to eliminate non-school property taxes on homesteads — 80–30. Our current representative voted no. The Senate never took it up.

This November, Amendment 3 — the increased homestead exemption, up to $250,000 on non-school taxes — is on the same ballot. One trip to the polls, two chances to cut your cost of living.

The math of living here

Median home value in the district, against a median household income of $76,862 — and about 1 in 8 residents lives below the poverty line. Affordability touches every neighborhood here.

The incumbent’s record, on paper

Seven bills as lead sponsor. One became law. Six never got a hearing.

Rep. Long is one of 34 Democrats in a House with 82 Republicans (4 seats vacant, Oct. 2026). That’s not an insult — it’s the math of why most minority bills go nowhere. His 2026 record as lead sponsor:

CS/HB 851 — professional learning (autism) for teachers/administratorsPassed 108–0 / 38–0 · Chapter 2026-109
HB 855 — PFAS cleanup standards and firefighting-foam limits. (He co-sponsored and voted for the separate PFAS law that passed, HB 1019, the Joe Casello Act.)Never placed on a committee agenda
HB 853 — mobile home park regulations (died in the Housing, Agriculture & Tourism Subcommittee — a panel he sits on)Died in committee · no hearing
HB 957 — deferred and unpaid taxesDied in committee · no hearing
HB 907, HB 1193, HB 1447Died in committee · no hearing
CS/CS/HJR 203 — eliminate non-school property taxes on homesteads (House floor, Feb. 19, 2026 — passed 80–30; died in the Senate)Long: No

Credit where it’s owed: one bill in, one bill out, unanimously. But look at which one — the uncontroversial one. His own bills on PFAS cleanup standards, mobile-home park rules and property-tax deferrals were never placed on a committee agenda. He did co-sponsor and vote for the separate PFAS law, the Joe Casello Act, which passed unanimously.

District 90 deserves a seat in the room where the budget is written.

Straight answers

The questions you’re actually asking.

Isn’t this a safe Democratic seat?

Not as safe as December made it look. That special election was a 27-point blowout on ~15,000 ballots — a low-turnout fluke. In regular elections the district runs about 10–12 points Democratic, and registration is only D+8.0. With a broad November electorate and the independents in play, it’s an underdog race, not a hopeless one.

You’ve never held office. Why should I trust you with this?

Because that’s exactly the point. I’ve spent 20 years as an engineer fixing broken systems — defining the problem, measuring it, and shipping a fix. I’m not a career politician climbing a ladder; I’m a builder who’ll treat your cost of living as the problem to solve.

A Republican in a blue-leaning district — what’s different about you?

I’m running a local race about local bills, not a national culture war. Affordability, effectiveness, and clean government are not partisan. I’ll work with anyone — in either party — who will lower what it costs to live here.

What about clean water and the environment?

I’m for it — healthy beaches and clean water are why we live here. The difference is I’d be in the majority that writes the budget, so the county’s ranked water projects can be funded, not just filed.

Where does your money come from?

Individuals, capped at $1,000 each by Florida law, plus my own money. No checks from political committees or corporations. Every report is public at the Florida Division of Elections, account 91286.

Won’t an incumbent just outspend you?

He will outspend us. Through October 2, 2026, Rep. Long’s 2026 campaign account reported $64,700 raised and $46,352 spent, and Long Lasting Progress PC, the political committee he chairs, reported $92,100 raised and $82,045 spent since February 2025. Those are the Division of Elections’ numbers, and we update them as reports are filed. We will not match that; we will out-work it.
