Housing affordability Mixed / neutral· stated position
Weldon called affordability, including housing costs, the clearest sign that government has lost touch, and said buying a home now requires jumping through hoops created by bad policy. He framed the remedy as clearing the path for opportunity and standing up to special interests rather than subsidies, zoning changes or rent measures.
"Buying a home, starting a family, and building a stable life now require jumping through hoops created by bad policy and political complacency."
Immigration Leans agree· stated position
Weldon's survey lists securing the border as part of the America First agenda he supports. He did not address large-scale deportation or state-level enforcement measures.
"securing the border, protecting American jobs, standing up to China, and putting American workers before global interests"
Health care Leans disagree· stated position
Asked whether Medicaid should be cut or expanded, Weldon said he supports what Florida has done, ensuring access for seniors without burdening taxpayers; he did not call for expansion.
"I support what Florida has done with Medicaid by ensuring access to Medicaid for our seniors without crippling taxpayers."
Growth & development Leans agree· stated position
Weldon said data centers should pay for any power and water upgrades they require so the community does not pay more, and that AI companies should be held accountable when they cause harm.
"Data centers should pay for any upgrades needed for the power and water they consume."
Trump administration Strongly agrees· stated position
In his 2026 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey, Weldon said he supports the America First agenda championed by Donald Trump and described it as a governing principle rather than a slogan.
"Dan supports the America First agenda championed by Donald Trump—securing the border, protecting American jobs, standing up to China, and putting American workers before global interests."

Other issues this candidate has raised
- Cost of living — His website says housing, grocery, insurance and energy costs are squeezing families and he would stand up to special interests that profit from higher prices; no specific policies listed.
- Affordability — Weldon's campaign site says housing, grocery, insurance and energy costs are 'squeezing families and shutting young people out of the life they were promised,' and that fixing it means standing up to special interests that profit from higher prices. It does not name specific bills or policies.
- Independence from career politics — His site's other three issue planks are about political independence rather than policy: he says leadership means 'telling the truth, challenging the system, and refusing to trade convictions for a seat at the table,' and that government should serve people who 'work, build, and raise families here.'
- Did not answer candidate questionnaires — The VOTE411 guide for State Representative 64 records 'Candidate has not yet responded' for Weldon on all seven questions, and his iVoterGuide profile shows 'Did not answer' for every item on that survey.
- Tampa airport-to-downtown rail — Asked where he would direct a $1 million appropriation, Weldon said he would put it toward starting the monorail or light-rail line from Tampa International Airport to downtown.
