New Bale Dalton Ad Lets His Republican Opponent Speak for Himself

Combat veteran Bale Dalton’s new ad puts Ryan Elijah’s comments in the spotlight.

SANFORD, FL – Today, Democratic candidate for Florida’s 7th Congressional District Bale Dalton released his second ad of the general election, featuring Republican candidate Ryan Elijah’s own words on the economy, Trump’s tariffs, gas prices driven up by the Iran war, and his intention to trade stocks if elected.

“According to Ryan Elijah, our economy is in a ‘great spot,’ the tariffs are ‘working,’ and gas prices ‘could be worse,’” said Dalton. “Nothing will change if we elect someone who doesn’t feel our pain at the pump, in the checkout line, or at the doctor’s office to represent us in Washington. Ryan Elijah is running to pad his stock portfolio, not protect our pocketbooks.”

A Navy combat veteran and lifelong public servant, Dalton has made lowering costs, cracking down on corruption, and putting Central Floridians first his priorities. Dalton pledged to not trade stocks if elected and has already released an anti-corruption plan to restore public trust in public service.
