• In-person town halls and direct constituent accessibility in FL-02 96 days silent
  Expected position: As the representative of the Florida Panhandle — including Tallahassee, home to thousands of state and federal workers — Dunn would be expected to hold in-person town halls to engage constituents on DOGE-related federal layoffs, VA cuts, Social Security office closures, and the OBBB's Medicaid reductions that disproportionately affect his 10.7% poverty-rate district. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Dunn has not held an in-person, open-floor town hall in years. On March 22, 2025, the Leon County Democratic Party organized a standing-room-only congressional town hall at the American Legion Hall with over 400 attendees. Dunn was invited but 'never even responded' and 'certainly didn't show up.' On March 23, a silent protest by local veterans was held outside City Hall. On March 27, over 70 seniors protested outside his office over Social Security concerns. On March 31, Dunn held a telephone town hall — a format constituents criticized as a way to 'only answer the questions that he wants to answer.' On April 8, Leon County Commissioner Bill Proctor held a press conference declaring 'independence' from Dunn, denouncing 'Dunn's silence on Trump administration policies, particularly the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives' and stating: 'We have a congressman who seems not to capture the values and what we want.' Dunn also faced rumors in February 2026 about a potential early resignation due to health concerns.

  One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment and Final Passage
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] Dunn voted Yea (218-214) on the defining fiscal legislation of the 119th Congress. As a physician who built a urology practice serving Medicaid patients in the Florida Panhandle, his vote for a bill enacting ~$930 billion in Medicaid cuts drew sharp constituent criticism. A Tallahassee Democrat opinion piece called the vote 'tragic' and said Dunn 'voted to cut off health care access' for his own district. The bill also raised the SALT cap to $40,000 but FL-02's median home value of $253,800 means SALT relief was less salient than in coastal districts. Dunn emphasized the bill's tax cuts and his Space Act provision but did not publicly reconcile his fiscal-conservative rhetoric with the CBO's deficit projections. Health Professionals ($273,641) and Pharmaceuticals/Health Products ($127,500) — his top donor industries — had significant stakes in the bill's healthcare provisions.

No documented broken promises on file.

  Dunn objected to the certification of a free and fair election based on unsubstantiated claims of fraud — a vote that the Republican Accountability Project characterized as part of a 'failed coup' to 'have the election decided by themselves rather than by voters.' More than 50 court challenges had been rejected for lack of evidence when Dunn cast his vote. As one of 12 Florida Republicans to object, Dunn's action placed him among the most ardent election-deniers in Congress.

  Dunn, a career urologist and healthcare provider, voted for legislation that independent analysts found would enact the deepest Medicaid cuts in U.S. history. His district's 10.7% poverty rate, large rural population, and 22.4% Black community — groups disproportionately reliant on Medicaid — faced direct harm. A constituent letter published in USA Today called his vote 'tragic' and accused him of voting 'against the citizens of North Florida.' Dunn's identity as a physician-legislator made the vote particularly notable: he was a doctor voting to reduce healthcare access for his own patients' communities.

  Dunn campaigned as a fiscal conservative, celebrated the 2017 budget for achieving '$6.5 trillion in deficit reduction' and called for a balanced budget amendment. Eight years later, he voted for the OBBB, which the CBO projected would add $3-4 trillion to the deficit. Dunn did not publicly address this contradiction, focusing instead on the bill's tax cuts and his Space Act provision. His vote aligned with the GOP conference but repudiated the fiscal discipline he had made central to his political brand.
