  • Disaster Insurance

    Supports

    Valentino supported reforming the federal McCarran-Ferguson Act and pooling property insurance risk nationally, similar to federal flood insurance, to address Florida's insurance crisis.

    “If you're looking at the data from the entire nation, that's the law of large numbers. It's more likely the policy will be renewed, and you'll have better coverage at lower rates.”

  • Economic Development & Growth

    Supports

    Valentino supported acquiring Amtrak service for the district, expanding the Port of Pensacola, promoting economic development, and positioning Escambia and the Panhandle as a subcontractor network for the Airbus plant in Mobile.

    “Escambia and the Panhandle here are next door. ... We become the perfect subcontractor network for such a leading industry as aviation.”

  • Energy

    Mixed

    Valentino opposed offshore drilling in the Eastern Gulf to protect military operations and training, but said he might reconsider if national security concerns required it.

    “No drilling in the Gulf, at least in the area that I'm oversight of.”

  • Foreign Policy & National Security

    Supports

    Valentino called for modernizing the U.S. military, upgrading weapons systems, and 'eliminating waste and woke DEI policies' from the military budget, while pledging 'uncompromised loyalty to Donald Trump' as commander in chief.

    “I will push for the modernization of our forces, ensuring our military is ready to face the challenges of the 21st century. We will upgrade weapons systems, increase troop readiness, and optimize our military budget by eliminating waste and woke DEI policies.”

  • Gun Policy & Second Amendment

    Opposes

    Valentino stated that no restrictions on gun ownership are needed, holding that the Second Amendment is 'the absolute extent of law' defining gun ownership.

    “What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety? NONE. The 2nd Amendment itself is the absolute extent of law, defining gun ownership. No other law at any level needs to exist.”

  • Healthcare Access & Affordability

    Opposes

    Opposes universal or government-expanded healthcare programs; wants Medicaid and Medicare kept as a 'baseline supplement' only (his stated Option C), and opposes all government, school, or employer vaccine mandates.

    “Government has a role in 'helping' those that cannot help themselves. BUT government's role should be limited to incentives and motivations to gentrify the needy back into the mainstream of society. My answer is "C". It is a baseline supplement.”
