Meet Jose Castillo

Like many in the region, Jose relocated to Central Florida to pursue a Hospitality career. He has worked at several local theme parks & resorts. He has been part of the Central Florida community now for over a decade. He recently purchased a home & settled with his family in Davenport.

Jose was born in New Orleans, but was raised in his mother’s native country of Honduras. In Honduras he was exposed to a corrupt & failed government. His experience there helped him foster a great appreciation for the US Constitution. 

Jose attended an American K-12 school during his years in Honduras.  He returned to New Orleans where he obtained a Management degree at the University of New Orleans & a Masters in Business degree at Tulane University.

Foundational Philosophy

“I’m not a politician. I don’t have a law degree. I earned my education in the Cold War frontiers of Germany and South Korea, as well as the battlefields of Kuwait, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Seeing that death and destruction – and the chaos and turmoil it brought America – was moving and saddening. I’m running to fight for American greatness, American peace, and American pride.

In this campaign, I won’t be resorting to personal attacks on my opponents. I follow Reagan’s 11th commandment, and won’t ‘speak ill of another Republican’. Win or lose, I believe in integrity.

My opponents and I may disagree on some things, or a lot of things. But here’s where I stand. I am a Christian conservative. You and I might come from different backgrounds, or live different lives. But I will always work hard to understand your needs and represent you with fairness and dignity.

My guide stones? The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Holy Bible. Those texts remind us of where we came from. They detail the tyranny we faced, and overcame. They enumerate our God-given rights, and acknowledge that the role of government is to protect those rights. And they make us a moral people.

Meet Sergio Ortiz

I was born in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, in 1964.  Being number 10 of 13 siblings, I grew up with lots of family around and with hardworking parents.  My primary education was at Segunda Unidad de Limones, in Yabucoa.  We moved to Chicago, IL in 1976, where I attended Middle School, High School and studied at Northeastern University.  In1991, I moved to Kissimmee, FL and graduated from Orlando College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Management/Marketing.

My wife’s name is Lucia, we have three children and nine grandchildren, they all reside in Florida.  We enjoy family time with lots of games and laughter.  As an ordained Minister, faith and family are very important to me.

I worked for several different companies in a management position and in the mortgage industry.  In 2003, I opened my own mortgage brokerage company, our main goal was to unite families with homes.  With the upheaval of the housing market, I was forced to find alternative means of wealth acquisitions, and was fortunate to get a job with a large, reputable distribution company, where I worked my way up to a trainer position.

In 2016, I was blessed with an opportunity to be a Mortgage Banker again, where I am currently employed.  It has always been a pleasure to partner with Realtors who are also eager to assist people in achieving the American Dream of homeownership.

Our Country and Our Allegiance stand for every man and woman who everyday goes out to bring prosperity to their families.  I love my country; it is my desire to see my fellow Americans succeed and make their dreams a reality.

Together we can do more!
