Champion Of The American Kitchen Table From Whistleblower To Washington
For fifteen years, I was not sitting behind an executive desk in a politician’s office. I was at the kitchen table, like you. I watched the system fail up close—while leadership remained silent, I became a whistleblower, exposing corruption and fighting for the people. The administration threatened my career, but they could not silence my conscience. I have already stood in the fire for the people of this state, and I am ready to do it again in Congress. I am not just the prosecutor who investigates the thief; I am the mother, the neighbor, and the citizen who refuses to let the thief enter her home.
It is my responsibility to show you the corruption; it is your responsibility to demand justice at the ballot box.
Who Is Ivette Palomo?
Forged At The Kitchen Table
This campaign is about a specific person with a specific story of proven courage. I am not a politician; I am a citizen forged at the kitchen table.
I am a single mother who fought to provide for my family and a homemaker who stretched every dollar to make it count. I am an educator who, when the system failed us, taught my children reading, writing, and true American history right at our kitchen table. I am a farmer who championed regenerating the land here in Central Florida, working our small piece of ground to grow our food and make ends meet. And when I saw corruption in government, I was the writer who documented the truth and the citizen who fought back by blowing the whistle.
The Establishment Tried To Break Me And I Won
While working for the state, I saw a system that was hurting the very people it was supposed to protect. So I blew the whistle. I didn’t just talk about it—I took my evidence to federal and state agencies and went straight to the Governor’s office.
In return, the administration didn’t thank me. They harassed me. A co-worker even threatened my life. But I stood my ground because I believe a leader’s first duty is to serve we the people, not the powerful, nor the corrupt. The Establishment tried to break me, but they only forged my resolve. I took on the system the Tampa Bay Times wrote about in an article titled, “Insane. Invisible. In Danger.” And I won.
That is my record of victory: You do not fight corruption by being quiet; you fight it by speaking the truth. That is exactly what I will do in Congress.
What is "The American Kitchen Table"?
The Wellspring Of Power
My story gives me the courage to fight; the Table gives us the reason and the strategy.
The kitchen table is the sacred space where Washington’s noise stops and the truth begins. It is where budgets are balanced on the back of an envelope, where children are taught to read, where faith is fortified against fear, and where the next generation learns what the political class has forgotten: that We The People are sovereign.
And when that sovereignty is forgotten, we do not gather at this table to surrender. Here we count the cost of bureaucratic theft. Here we convert hardship into resolve. And from here we strike the root. This is the wellspring of power the Derelict Sentry fears most: the citizen armed with truth and the will to secure the table.
Why "Palomo and The American Kitchen Table" For Congress?
Because you cannot have one without the other.
For fifteen years, the Silent Sentry has been present in body, absent in duty. They learned to fail quietly while the administrative state captured your schools, inflated your insurance, poisoned your water, and denied your veterans. Their ‘experience’ is not a qualification; it is a confession of fifteen years of abandonment.
“Palomo and The American Kitchen Table” is the replacement.
It is the unbreakable covenant between the Champion who struck the root against the Florida bureaucracy and the United States Strong framework that will guide every vote I cast. I do not take orders from party bosses, lobbyists, or PACs; I take orders from the families seated at kitchen tables across Orange, Lake, Polk, and Sumter counties.
The previous leadership left your Four Pillars undefended. I will secure them:
- Familial Security: The autonomy and prosperity of the family unit.
- Economic Security: Individual and national economic independence.
- Environmental Security: Stewardship and practical management of natural resources.
- Political Security: The restoration of constitutional order and citizen control over government.
Palomo is the fighter. The Kitchen Table is the cause. Strike the root, and the table stands secure!

How Will You Strike The Root In Your First 100 Days?
On Election Day, we will deliver a verdict. My first 100 days in Congress will execute that verdict with unrelenting force. This is not a timeline for signing ceremonies; it is a declaration of war on the status quo.
Phase 1: The Demolition — Strike The Root
When: From Day One.
How: I will introduce, demand hearings on, and force votes for the three structural strikes that dismantle the corruption of unaccountable power:
- The REINS Act: Dismantles the Lawless Bureaucracy by reclaiming Congress’s sole power to tax and regulate.
- The Administrative Independence Act: Eradicates Politicized Justice by abolishing agency courts and restoring constitutional due process to Article III tribunals.
- The Bill of Rights Restoration Act (Defund, Disarm, and Digital Freedom Acts): Restores Congressional Authority by defunding federal ideological programs (DEI/CRT), establishing National Concealed Carry Reciprocity, and banning government-led censorship and surveillance.
Why we lead with this: We cannot rebuild on a rotten foundation. This blitz will force every member of Congress to go on record: Are they for the constitutional separation of powers, or for the unchecked bureaucratic regime?
Phase 2: The Reconstruction — Secure The Table
When: Concurrent with Phase 1.
How: I will immediately introduce the first wave of our “Secure the Table” agenda—the urgent, tangible fixes that become possible once the root is struck. These are not subsidies. They are liberations from bureaucracy.
1. Insurance Pricing Freedom
The Problem: Your flood insurance bill doubled while the algorithm stayed hidden.
The Solution: No federal insurance adjustment without local verification and congressional review.
The Strike: Stop the algorithm. Restore the market.
2. Agricultural Land Freedom
The Problem: Farmers need permits to work their own waterways.
The Solution: No federal permit required for work on private agricultural land.
The Strike: Your land. Your water. Your rules.
3. Homeowner Tax Relief
The Problem: Storm-hardening improvements are taxed like luxury upgrades.
The Solution: Exempt storm-hardening and safety improvements from tax assessments.
The Strike: Keep your money. Build your home.
These bills will be marked up, debated, and pushed to the floor. We will use this momentum to build the coalition needed to pass them.
This is just the opening salvo. The full “Secure the Table” agenda—including our push to declare war on the fentanyl and mental health crisis, fix the VA, and unleash American energy dominance—will be advanced throughout the term. The first 100 days is about breaking their system. The next 1,361 days are about building ours.
Join The Blitz. Power This Fight.
The time for passive complaining is over. The time for decisive action is now.
