The following issues were listed on Gaetz's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here .
: When it comes to protecting our right to bear arms, there has been no greater champion than Matt. Marion Hammer, past President of the NRA, has called Matt “one of the most pro-gun members of the Florida Legislature.” Matt successfully sponsored legislation banning local governments from infringing on our 2nd Amendment rights, and led the fight to bring Open Carry to Florida. When many across the nation called for the repeal of Florida’s Stand Your Ground Law, Matt led the fight to keep the law in place and preserve our right to defend our homes and families. : Northwest Florida is privileged to have bases such as Eglin AFB and Pensacola NAS, and we owe our freedom to the brave men and women that serve there. Matt successfully sponsored legislation protecting the identities of service members and their families from groups like ISIS who have published their information to create “hit lists” of military personnel. He also co-sponsored the Florida GI Bill, offering veterans hiring preferences and in-state college tuition. : Illegal immigration poses a serious threat to both our national and economic security. Matt has opposed any form of amnesty, fought cash welfare payments for illegal immigrants and voted against offering them in-state college tuition, even when other Republicans supported it. : Matt is 100% pro-life and has always been a voice for those without one. He successfully sponsored legislation to ban taxpayer-funded abortions under Obamacare and prohibited state money from going to abortion centers. Matt also fought to require ultrasounds and 24-hour waiting periods before abortions can be performed. In Congress, Matt will vote to defund Planned Parenthood and hold them accountable for the atrocious acts they commit. : Washington’s out of control spending has put our nation in trillions of dollars of debt and can only be stopped if we pass a balanced budget amendment right away. Matt has voted to balance the state’s budget every year and knows it can be done by cutting spending and reforming entitlements. | ” | |

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

On Tuesday, the House GOP Steering Committee gave some of the more controversial House Republicans committee assignments.
They include some House members who sided against Rep. Kevin McCarthy through his campaign for Speaker of the House, per NBC News .
George Santos (New York): The first-term congressman was assigned to the Small Business Committee, as well as the Science, Space and Technology committee. According to The New York Times , these assignments are not favored seats, nor were they ones he had his eye on. His place in the Small Business Committee comes as he faces criticism for lying about his previous business and employment history and fields questions about his current business, the Devolder Organization.
Lauren Boebert (Colorado): In addition to continuing her service on the Natural Resources panel, Boebert will also join the Oversight and Accountability Committee, per NBC News . According to The Washington Post , her assignments come just over a year after a slew of Congress members moved to strip her of past assignments due to repeated “anti-Muslim” comments. Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar is among the group of representatives that McCarthy has expressed he wants to strip of their committee assignments this time around, per CNN .
Marjorie Taylor Greene (Georgia): After her past removal from committees over so-called incendiary comments and spreading QAnon’s misinformation, Greene has been awarded a seat on the House Homeland Security Committee and the Oversight Committee. According to CNN , the committee may help impeaching Alejandro Mayorkas from his position as Homeland Security Secretary.
Matt Gaetz (Florida): Gaetz will continue his service on the House Judiciary Committee, per NBC News . He was one of McCarthy’s most vocal opponents and merely voted “present” in the 14th round of votes.
Paul Gosar (Arizona): Like Greene, Gosar was also stripped of his committee positions in the last Congress due to threatening fellow lawmakers over social media. According to NBC New s, he was awarded seats on the Oversight Committee and the Natural Resources Panel. He voted for McCarthy on the 12th round of votes.
These assignments have incited outrage across the internet, with many slamming the House GOP for their decisions.
As the former Vice Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, I’m HORRIFIED that it was just announced that Marjorie Taylor Greene will serve on the committee. A QAnon conspiracy theorist + Jan 6 insurrectionist doesn’t belong on a committee that exists to fight extremism. — Ritchie Torres (@RitchieTorres) January 17, 2023

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Matt Gaetz wanted to know if Democrats would bail out the would-be Republican speaker. Not a chance, she told him.
Opponents of Rep. Kevin McCarthy’s bid for the House speakership are digging in after a tense discussion on the House floor between Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
The pair’s conspicuous exchange in the back of the chamber on the first day of the 118th Congress was caught on C-SPAN — and noted by many members in the building. Thanks to Gaetz and his far-right allies, McCarthy, a California Republican, failed to win the speakership on the first round of voting.
Gaetz told Ocasio-Cortez that McCarthy has been telling Republicans that he’ll be able to cut a deal with Democrats to vote present, enabling him to win a majority of those present and voting, according to Ocasio-Cortez. She told Gaetz that wasn’t happening, and also double-checked with Democratic party leadership, confirming there’d be no side deal.
What happened here? Can anyone read lips? pic.twitter.com/r7PR3Srcyg — MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) January 3, 2023
“McCarthy was suggesting he could get Dems to walk away to lower his threshold,” Ocasio-Cortez told The Intercept of her conversation with Gaetz on McCarthy’s failed ploy. “And I fact checked and said absolutely not.”
Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York won all 212 of his party’s votes, a show of unity that, if it holds, requires McCarthy to win over all but four of his colleagues.
Gaetz, who has shown a willingness to break with the GOP establishment, said that his crew of McCarthy opponents was dug in and would continue to resist him, adding that McCarthy has been threatening opponents with loss of committee assignments. A private gathering of Republicans ahead of the vote had been heated, multiple sources said. (Gaetz did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
McCarthy and Gaetz presented their positions in dueling press conferences Tuesday morning. McCarthy said that Gaetz and his allies had requested plum committee assignments in exchange for supporting his speaker bid. McCarthy also accused Gaetz of telling Republican members that he was willing to elect Jeffries as speaker rather than accede to McCarthy. Gaetz told reporters that he and his allies didn’t trust McCarthy.
Original reporting. fearless journalism. delivered to you..
Ahead of the second round of voting, Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who won six votes for speaker in the first round, nominated McCarthy again. Then Gaetz rose and nominated Jordan. All 19 McCarthy opponents voted for Jordan in the second round, leaving McCarthy again at 203 votes — 15 short of what he needed.
Rep. Paul Gosar , R-Ariz. another McCarthy opponent, also huddled with Ocasio-Cortez in the chamber, where they discussed the possibility of adjourning the House. (Gosar did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
In the first round, McCarthy won just 203 votes, losing 19 of his colleagues. McCarthy has been insistent on remaining in session, as have his opponents. Adjourning without choosing a speaker would be embarrassing to Republicans but might also give time for McCarthy to break the opposition one by one.
Ocasio-Cortez was noncommittal on the tack, as an adjournment strategy would require party leadership.
