Our country is miserably off track; this is something that all but the far left agree on. I personally came to the point where I felt a responsibility to try to do something about it, and I've been blessed enough in business to be able to take a shot at running for office.

I am not a politician. I am just a business guy who has had enough.

Business Who Us

Career politicians like Marco Rubio worry more about keeping the job than doing the job and are constantly looking for their next political promotion.

Carlos Beruff

Car Worry Than

I am not ashamed to support Donald Trump.

I'm focused on bringing real change to Washington because the career politicians have screwed things up so badly.

Free trade is an important component of our economy, but it also has to be fair. Too often, the needs of American workers are ignored while the interests of huge corporations are the focus of these trade deals.

Politicians in Washington are useless.

We all owe America. It's not the other way around.

President Obama has proven himself to be a terrible negotiator. I don't support any trade deal negotiated by his administration.

Of one thing I am certain: we are foolish if we think we will achieve change by sending the same crowd of people back to run our government again and again.

I am a home builder. I have to be an optimist.

If we don't send people to Washington who, first of all, have done something more than talk for a living - which is what many politicians have done - nothing gets done.

One of the reasons that our colleges have gotten so expensive is because of tenure.

Here's what I have to say: Obama is a disaster, and Washington politicians are worthless.

Giving money doesn't make you an insider. If that's considered being an insider, I guess Donald Trump is an insider. That doesn't make sense.

I do not take orders from Washington, and I suggest that no one else should either.

The Republican establishment no longer stands for us.

I've never been against doing business with Cuba.

Carlos Beruff

Some call me a Cuban hyphen American. I reject that. I don't believe in hyphenated Americans.

I made the decision I will back Mr. Trump, it's not very complicated. I don't pussyfoot around playing the odds.

Carlos Beruff

I made the miscalculation of taking Mr. Rubio at his word that he wouldn't seek re-election if he lost the presidential primary.

Carlos Beruff

If I'm going to compare myself to a candidate, it's Rick Scott. It's not Donald Trump.

I believe that you should do what you know how to do best.

I don't think it's safe to allow anybody from the Middle East into this country.

When Charlie Crist went independent, I no longer supported him. Just track the money.

I just think people are fed up with people who are career politicians who don't stand for anything.

Publix operates in every county in Florida, and you get a county or municipality saying we don't want you putting your groceries in plastic bags, well, that's a problem.

I think Israel's security measures are pretty strong.

Democrats refuse to deal with reality. They make things up, sensationalize common sense solutions, and exacerbate this obsession over political correctness.

Carlos Beruff

There is only one Donald Trump, as we know. But there are aspects of where he's coming from that I understand, which is business people that have built and actually created jobs in this country.

Carlos Beruff

I don't want to be another country. I want to be the United States of America, the greatest country in the world.

Sarasota-Bradenton is a unique community to live in.

Like Marco Rubio in 2010, I'm not going to back down from the Washington establishment. They are the problem, not the solution.

Carlos Beruff

People should not be paid to go to Washington and not do their job. When they don't show up, why should we pay them?

Our country is miserably off track; this is something that all but the far left agree on. I personally came to the point where I felt a responsibility to try to do something about it, and I've been blessed enough in business to be able to take a shot at running for office.

Here's the American situation - we have moved from a culture of independence to a culture of dependence. We have moved from capitalism into the direction of socialism. We have moved from being a beacon of strength internationally to a position of weakness.

Carlos Beruff

I care deeply about the direction of our country.

Carlos Beruff

Growing up, we had to work. If you wanted anything at all that was more than basic food and shelter, you had to make your own money.

Carlos Beruff

Folks in Washington have it all figured out - they are going to make your choices and run your life.

Carlos Beruff

We must fix our immigration system so we control who comes and goes, and that starts by securing our southern border.

Carlos Beruff

I brought attention to the fact that people need to be more involved in politics and not just let the establishment continue to control politics.

Carlos Beruff

We must defend our NATO allies, but we should also ensure that everyone pays their fair share. The United States shouldn't be responsible for funding other countries' shares.

Carlos Beruff

Our trade negotiations should ensure that American workers are protected and that there are mechanisms in place to deal with other countries cheating.

Carlos Beruff

I am personally looking forward to advancing policies that will help make the future of our state even stronger than it already is.
