Jeff Ramsey Enters Race for Florida House

Posted on June 1, 2017

Jeff Ramsey announced that he has filed to become a candidate for the Florida House of Representatives in District 51. Ramsey, a conservative Republican, is a teacher and Air Force veteran. The seat is currently held by Representative Tom Goodson, who will not be seeking reelection in 2018 due to term limits.

“I have spent my career fighting to make sure our country stays free and safe for future generations, and I look forward to continuing the fight in Tallahassee,” said Ramsey. “We must continue to push for policies that cut taxes and promote job growth as well as protect our freedoms, especially our Second Amendment rights. And Florida must ban sanctuary cities.”
Ramsey would also make veterans a priority: “As a veteran, I know how much the men and women in uniform sacrifice to protect our great country. We owe it to our veterans to give them economic opportunities, to see to it that they are well cared for and treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.”
After growing up in Camden, South Carolina, Ramsey enlisted in the United States Air Force, where he rose through the enlisted ranks and was later commissioned as an officer, retiring as a major. In 2001, his service brought him to Brevard County, where he was a launch director with the Delta program at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. At that post, he also provided leadership on complex projects where he managed large budgets and hundreds of staff. He finished his military career with a teaching assignment at the collegiate level, mentoring the next generation of Air Force officers.
After retiring from the Air Force, Ramsey began a career as a high school teacher. Starting in the fall of 2017, he will serve as the Senior Aerospace Science Instructor for Eau Gallie High School, leading the Junior ROTC program.
“Teaching is both a great privilege and responsibility, and I am very encouraged by the hard work and ambition I see in so many of my students,” said Ramsey. “But I am troubled by the lack of emphasis on civics education throughout a child’s school experience. It is imperative that we bolster the teaching of our nation’s history and the system of government our founders created.”
Ramsey and his wife, Michelle, a Merritt Island native, are the proud parents of six children. She is a certified public account and works as a manager in Brevard County.
House District 51 covers parts of central and northern Brevard County, including the communities of Rockledge, Cocoa, Merritt Island, Cape Canaveral, and Cocoa Beach, as well as the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
