    No grade yet

    I have no votes in Congress to count for People, and what People has said and done settles only 2 of my principles. I went through it on November 1. A grade needs 4.

    Raised $82,518 since January 2025: 75% from people, 21% the candidate’s own money, 4% transfers and other income. The filing at FEC.gov

Voting in Florida: how to register, vote early or vote by mail. Election Day was November 3.

A solid letter is a grade from recorded votes on that principle. An outlined letter is on the same scale, for a candidate with no votes: it comes from what that candidate has said and done, and every source is listed below.

Robert People, on the record

I have no votes in Congress to count for People, so the grade above comes from this list: what People has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.

  • October 2026 · His campaign siteFree nations

    He says he will always vote for and support no further arms being sent to Israel under this administration.

    “Robert will also always vote and/or support NO further arms being sent to Israel under this administration.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Against liberty

    Cutting off weapons to Israel is against liberty on free nations.

  • October 2026 · His campaign siteFree nations

    He says he will not support what he calls Israel's genocide against the people of Palestine.

    “Robert will NOT support Israel's GENOCIDE against the people of Palestine.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Against liberty

    Calling Israel's war genocide is against liberty on free nations.

  • October 2026 · His campaign siteFree markets

    He says he will support Medicare For All and universal healthcare.

    “We have proven time and time again that we have the capacity to support Medicare For All”
    By the test I use for votes
    Against liberty

    Government-run health care for all is against liberty on free markets.

  • October 2026 · His campaign siteFree markets

    He says he will propose raising the Social Security tax cap.

    “Robert will propose raising the Social Security tax cap.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Against liberty

    Raising a tax is against liberty on free markets.

  • October 2026 · His campaign siteEqual rights

    He says he will support transgender care and gender-neutral public facilities.

    “Robert is also a supporter of safe spaces and will support protected community centers, along with gender-neutral public facilities.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Not clear either way

    Gender-neutral facilities are not named in the measure and he says nothing on sport or prisons, so it does not settle the measure.

  • October 2026 · His campaign siteBorders

    He calls for a clearer path to citizenship that does not make immigrants who follow the rules wait for years, and for better due process protections.

    “There needs to be a much better and clearer path to citizenship that does not involve immigrants who are doing the right thing having to wait years for their citizenship.”
    By the test I use for votes
    Not clear either way

    The sentence is about legal immigrants waiting for citizenship and names no policy on those here illegally, so it does not settle the measure.

Who is on the ballot: the state election offices, as listed on Wikipedia on November 3, 2026, checked against the candidate file of the Federal Election Commission. See a name that is wrong or missing? Say so in the discussion.
