Dalton is a 24-year Navy veteran who flew medical evacuation missions in Kuwait and Iraq, directed combat air support in Afghanistan, and led operations against ISIS, al-Qaeda, and the Taliban. He later served at the State Department, worked for Senator Bill Nelson of Florida, and went on to become Chief of Staff at NASA where he managed 16,500 employees and helped run one of the federal government’s most effective agencies. Throughout his career, Bale has put mission and people ahead of politics, taking on the hard jobs others wouldn’t, and delivering results when it mattered most.
“For more than two decades, I’ve worked to keep this country safe and to protect the families who count on their government to get things right. In Congress, I’ll bring that same mission-first focus to the challenges facing Florida families, whether that’s making Florida affordable again, protecting access to healthcare, or making sure our government remembers who it’s meant to serve in the first place.”
