Brian Mast took $700,000 from AIPAC. Then he looked at the rubble in Gaza and said "there's more infrastructure that needs to be destroyed." I'm Bernard Taylor. Firefighter. I don't take a dollar from AIPAC, and I never will. A firefighter doesn't cheer for more rubble. He runs toward people to save them. Mast works for the people who write him checks. I'll work for you. Chip in $21 and send someone who won't be bought.

We can't let people like this win. We can't let them shape policy. That's why I need your help. I'm Bernard Taylor. Firefighter and EMT. This happened in my community and the hateful rhetoric spewed by Donald Trump and his MAGA movement emboldens people like this every day. I'm running against Trump-endorsed Brian Mast. We can beat them, win this race and take back the House. But I need your help. Chip in $21 today to flip FL-21 so this firefighter can fight for ALL OF US in Congress..

I read as many comments as I can on this campaign. This week, one stopped me cold. A 74-year-old former Republican, a thousand miles from Florida, chipped in anyway. I can't stop thinking about it. This campaign isn't mine. It's a movement of people like her, from every state, deciding together that we deserve better. So thank you for believing in me. And know this: whatever you can give, $5, $10, $25, goes straight to knocking doors, making calls, and getting this job done when it's time to w

My current congressman went to the Capitol wearing a foreign army's uniform. I'm here to replace him. I'm Bernard Taylor. Husband. Father. Firefighter. And now, I'm running for Congress because I'm sick of our working families being put last. I'm running to be OUR voice. To address skyrocketing healthcare costs. Fight for education. Protect our natural environments. Because WE, not the billionaires, deserve representation that fights for us. This campaign is powered by you. Pure grassroots.

I thought this was supposed to be the UNITED States of America. But my congressman Brian Mast just called Democrats the biggest threat to this country other than Iran. I'm Bernard Taylor. Firefighter. When I run into a burning building, I don't ask if the people inside are Republicans or Democrats. I just get them out. Every time. That's what serving your community actually means. Brian Mast wouldn't know. He serves his donors and calls half his own country the enemy. Now, I'm running for Cong

Each name opens the page’s Vipima page, with its own figures and its link to Meta’s Ad Library.
Figures cover domestic political ads paid in dollars, from 4 May 2026. Spend is the sum of Meta’s range midpoints; impressions above one million are reported as “1M+”, so impression figures are floors. Each ad counts in the week its delivery started, with its lifetime spend at our last pull; ads still running before the vote are counted as of 31 October 2026.
