Raised by a single mom. Postal worker. Navy veteran of four deployments. Dad of two. Sign up to join Keith Chaput’s campaign for Congress in Florida’s [X] District.
Keith was born in Florida and raised by a single mom, and he watched her struggle every day to keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.
Before the Navy, he worked for the U.S. Postal Service, where he saw what a union contract does for working people: fair pay, real benefits, and a voice on the job. Then he enlisted, and deployed four times, including to the Middle East, where he saw up close how cruel and pointless those wars are.
Today Keith and his wife are raising two boys, and they’ve felt the cost of child care firsthand. He’s running for Congress so families like his, and like the one he grew up in, can afford the American dream again.
Working Floridians shouldn’t go broke getting sick or raising kids. And Washington won’t fix it until we get the money out and stop paying for endless wars.
One public plan that covers everyone. Keep your doctor, and never lose coverage because you lost a job.
1965We already did this for Americans over 65. Let’s finish the job.
Read the full planEvery family gets a safe, good place for their kids while they work, at a price they can pay. Keith and his wife are raising two boys. They know what the daycare bill does to a family budget.
1943During World War II, Washington paid for child care so parents could work. We can do it again.

No PACsThis campaign takes no corporate PAC money.
Read the full planKeith deployed four times, including to the Middle East. He knows who pays for war: the people who fight it, and taxpayers back home. The money we save should be spent here.
“I deployed four times, including to the Middle East. I saw the cruelty of those wars up close, and how little they accomplished. The people who pay are the ones who fight, their families, and every taxpayer back home. I’m done sending both overseas.”
Congress declares war, not the president. I’ll vote to repeal the old war authorizations still being used today.
The Pentagon has never passed a full audit. No more blank checks while families here can’t afford daycare.
Keep the promise to veterans. Cut the VA claims backlog and protect the care we earned.
See how much of your federal taxes went to the military, and what it could pay for here.
went to the military.
Estimate: about 13 cents of every federal dollar goes to defense. Child care at about $250 a week, school lunch at about $3 a day. [Confirm sources before launch.]
