120424 (WKRG) Michael Thompson, Florida's District 1 U.S. House seat candidate, formerly held by Matt Gaetz, submitted petitions to qualify for the special election ballot. Thompson said he chose the petition process instead of the $10,000 filing fee. Thompson said his campaign is the only Republican effort in the race to use petitions, distinguishing himself from career politicians and self-funded entrepreneurs. At 25, he aims to become the youngest member of Congress and the first Gen Z Republican, addressing a gap in generational representation.
