Kat Cammack
A Tenacious Conservative Fighter
Kat Cammack, who is currently serving her second term representing Florida in congress, is tenacious when it comes to fighting for conservative values. She is known for her grit, fighting spirit and holding accountable, the administration that runs our country.
Kat is happily married to her husband Matt, who serves as a first responder for the Gainesville Fire Rescue as a firefighter / paramedic and SWAT medic. They are residents of north central Florida, which they proudly call “Gator Nation”.
From Homeless to House of Representatives
Kat grew up learning the virtues of hard work. She was a third-generation commercial sandblaster who also grew up laboring on her family’s small cattle ranch.
She had hoped to take the helm of her family’s business, but as her college graduation drew near, the failed Obama-era housing program forced her family to lose everything. The same program that eventually caused millions of hard-working Americans to lose their home through no fault of their own.
The end result of this failed program left Kat homeless. Having to live out of her car and cheap motels, along with her mother, was all the motivation she needed to fight back against the big government failures that took everything from them. Refusing to stay down, Kat picked herself up and made it her life’s mission to defeat Washington’s overreach and bolster individual freedoms. In less than a decade, Kat fought her way from homelessness to the House of Representatives.
Holding Biden and The Far-Left Accountable
Kat is known for holding Joe Biden and the far-left in Washington accountable in the halls of Congress. She takes a hard stance on the security of our southern border, will always be a champion for small business, and is steadfast in her support of the Second Amendment. With a sharp eye on the government budget, she believes that taxes should be low and the government should keep spending minimal and efficient. As a civilian graduate of the United States Naval War College, Kat understands how important it is for our nation to fight for our veterans and first responders.
In just a short time in Congress, Kat has already achieved a long list of accomplishments for her district and the American people. While others in Washington are content to simply talk the talk, Kat is driven to walk the walk for the people she represents.
