Matt Gaetz 'Starting To Think About' Running For Florida Governor
HuffPost
The former congressman, who was the subject of a federal investigation and a congressional ethics probe, said he has "a compelling vision for the state."
Matt Gaetz may be out of Washington, but his political ambitions are not yet over.
The former Florida congressman, who faced a federal investigation and congressional ethics probe before resigning from Congress in November, told The Tampa Bay Times that he’s “starting to think about running for governor” of Florida in 2026, according to an interview published Tuesday.
“I have a compelling vision for the state,” he told the outlet. “I understand how to fix the insurance problem, and it’s not to hand the keys to the state over to the insurance industry. If I run, I would be the most pro-consumer candidate on the Republican side.”
Gaetz said he needs more time for prayer and discussion with his wife before deciding on a run. As of this month, he hosts “The Matt Gaetz Show,” a program on the conservative One America News Network.
The political talk show’s debut came days after the House Ethics Committee publicly released a report saying it found evidence that Gaetz bought illegal drugs, paid multiple women for sex and had sex with a 17-year-old girl, all while he was serving in Congress.
