Whistleblower Rebekah Jones officially files to run for Congress [View all]

Controversial whistleblower Rebekah Jones has officially filed to run for Congress.

The Democrat will work to unseat Republican Representative Matt Gaetz in District 1.

Gaetz is facing several legal scandals, including a federal investigation over whether he had a sexual relationship with an underage girl.

Gaetz, 38, denies any inappropriate relationships with minors and even claims to be the victim of an extortion scheme.

Jones, 32, a former employee with the Florida Department of Health, was fired for insubordination in 2020 in her own scandal over the state’s covid case numbers. She had announced her intent to run on social media in June.

State records show she filed the candidacy paperwork on Sept. 29.
