Ryan Elijah is running for Congress because he sees how hard rising costs have hit Florida families — from the gas pump to the grocery aisle, budgets are stretched thin. He believes Congress must ease that burden by keeping taxes low and achieving American energy independence, because lower gas prices mean real relief for families, businesses, and everything we buy.
Ryan Elijah will strongly support our schools. His boys were educated in both public and private schools. He believes both are critical to our children’s success and our community’s future. That’s why he champions parental rights and school choice, empowering families to make the best decisions for their kids and to have transparency on curriculum.
Ryan Elijah is running for Congress to lower healthcare costs. He supports affordable, patient-centered healthcare, including tax benefits like expanded Health Savings Accounts, along with greater price transparency from hospitals, insurers, and other providers.
As a broadcaster, Ryan Elijah created a consumer advocacy segment that recovered thousands of dollars for residents and tackled issues from Social Security disability to consumer protection
