Zach Funkhouser

Zach Funkhouser is a K-8 Adapted Physical Education teacher in Pasco County, Florida. In his 2026 campaign questionnaire he described himself as a young candidate "who supports the working class," and said he ran because he feels "my generation is getting left behind and someone needs to step up." He identified Florida's affordability crisis as the most important issue facing the community, saying he is "working in the trenches just like everyone else" while "big corporations and multi-millionaires are ruining things for the rest of us."
