HOBE SOUND, FL — James Martin, national security expert, U.S. Coast Guard veteran, and Democratic candidate for Florida’s 21st Congressional District, continues to be a leading voice for clarity and accountability on the Administration’s illegal and counterproductive airstrikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific Ocean. Martin spoke with Newsmax, MeidasTouch, Scripps News, and Courier Newsroom this week to break down the strikes, and to call out officials like Rep. Brian Mast for enabling dangerous misinformation.

Martin, who has interdicted drug smugglers at sea firsthand, overseen multi-national and multiagency counter-drug operations, and worked on U.S. counter-narcotics policy at the White House, sharply criticized the false narratives being pushed to justify the strikes.

“While this administration and its enablers like Brian Mast and Tom Cotton want to lie about everything from skyrocketing costs to these reckless and unlawful airstrikes, the American people see right through it,” Martin said.

Martin underscored that the Administration’s claims defy basic operational realities and are counterproductive to the United States’ interests.

As the only candidate in the FL-21 race with national security policy expertise, Martin continues to push for accountability and transparency as the Administration’s shifting explanations raise more questions than answers. While Rep. Mast is supporting a dangerous regime change agenda that could embroil the United States in another foreign conflict for years to come.

With proven leadership and a mission-focused mindset that puts country over party, Martin is running for Florida’s 21st congressional district to lower the cost of living, fix the Treasure Coast’s clean water crisis, and strengthen the economy for everyone, no matter their politics.
