As a 20-year veteran (1998–2018), an Association for Rescue at Sea (AFRAS) Gold Medal recipient, and a founding member of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Ramsey possesses a specialized background that intersects with many of Congresswoman Luna’s political focus areas.

His background could align with her office in the following ways:

🚢 Maritime Security & Border Advisory

Congresswoman Luna represents a coastal Florida district where maritime security, drug interdiction, and coastal enforcement are vital legislative concerns. Ramsey’s background as a retired Federal Law Enforcement Officer and Coast Guard Surfman gives him unique, hands-on expertise in:

• Border and Coastal Defense: Advising on port security protocols and maritime border issues.
• Counter-Narcotics Operations: Providing ground-level insights into high-stakes drug and human trafficking interdictions at sea.

🎖️ Veteran and Military Issues

Luna, an Air Force veteran herself, is highly focused on veteran affairs and defense legislation. [1]

• Policy Credibility: Partnering with a highly decorated retired Chief Petty Officer provides strong military credibility when advocating for better veteran resources, mental health support, and Coast Guard funding.
• Coast Guard Representation: The Coast Guard is often underrepresented compared to DoD branches in congressional focus; an experienced BMC can bridge policy gaps specifically for maritime service members.

🌪️ Emergency Crisis Management

Florida’s 13th congressional district is highly susceptible to hurricanes and extreme weather events. [1]

• Disaster Response Coordination: As a Coast Guard Surfman trained for the most hazardous sea rescue conditions, Ramsey’s operational expertise in crisis logistics could assist a congressional team in optimizing federal disaster relief, local emergency preparation, and agency accountability (such as monitoring FEMA responses).
