Core Values That Matter

A Vision from the
Lake Front City of Florida
David Wayne "Gizmo" Wexler
for Governor

Empathy. Integrity. Innovation. Unity.

I’m David Wayne “Gizmo” Wexler, and I’m running for Governor of Florida as an Independent, no party affiliation, not to chase power, but to fulfill a purpose. I’ve never been interested in playing political games. I’m here to transform the rules, with empathy, courage, and integrity.

I’m not a career politician. I’m a visionary, a problem-solver, and a builder who believes deeply in people, governed by the rule of law, and government accountability to people. For years, I’ve worked behind the scenes designing technology that serves, not exploits, people. I’ve seen how our systems leave too many Floridians behind, and I’ve made it my mission to quietly improve them. This campaign isn’t about me stepping into the spotlight, it’s about turning that light toward a better future for all of us.

Florida doesn’t need another politician. It needs a listener. A bridge-builder. A visionary.

I’m not running to fit into the system; I’m running to transform it. And that starts with listening. Deeply. Openly. Without judgment. I listen because I care. I see patterns where others see problems. I see possibilities in the people too often overlooked. And I believe that real leadership isn’t measured by volume, it’s measured by values.

The soul of Florida lives in its people: the parents, the teachers, the caretakers, the dreamers, the doers. I’m running for them. For you. Because I know that lasting progress only happens when we lead with empathy, courage, and purpose.

A New Path for Florida

My vision is simple, but bold: Heal divides. Restore trust. Build a Florida that is just, resilient, and forward-thinking. We don’t need more noise, we need steady, compassionate leadership that brings people together to solve real problems.

Core Commitments:


• People-Centered Innovation: I’ll use smart, human-first technology to make government work better for everyone. More access, more transparency, less red tape.
  
  
• Empathetic Governance: I’ll lead with heart, putting the needs of the vulnerable, the voiceless, and the overlooked first.
  
  
• Restoring Trust in Institutions: I’ll fight for ethical accountability across the board—from law enforcement to healthcare to our state agencies.
  
  
• Unity Through Understanding: I’ll rise above partisan bickering and focus on what unites us: our hopes, our dignity, our shared future.
  
  
• Purpose-Driven Progress: : I’ll craft policy not for headlines, but for healing, equity, and sustainability that lasts.

“I don’t want to play the political game; I want to transform the rules with empathy, courage, and integrity."

Gizmo’s Vision for Florida:


• Modernize Government: Let’s make our state systems easier to navigate, more efficient, and truly transparent using smart, human-focused tech.
  
  
• Empower Communities: We’ll invest in equitable growth, affordable housing, strong infrastructure, and local jobs that build dignity and stability.
  
  
• Fix Broken Systems: From law enforcement reform to public health access, it’s time to challenge the status quo and rebuild systems that work.
  
  
• Prioritize People: Education, environment, justice, jobs, these aren’t talking points. They’re people’s lives. And that’s where my focus will be.
  
  
• Build Bridges, Not Divides: No matter where you come from or who you voted for last time, I believe we all want the same things: fairness, safety, opportunity, and progress.

“I’m here to bring people together and get things done.”

I’m not the loudest voice in the room, but I just might be the one who listens the most. I lead from the inside out, with vision, with conviction, and with compassion.

If you’re tired of the noise, the division, the endless blame game, then this is your moment. And I’m your candidate.

Let’s shape Florida’s future with heart, hope, and purpose, together.
