About Brice Barnes

Brice Barnes is a Tallahassee mom of three, a non-profit leader, and a lifelong advocate for people with disabilities and women’s health care who is running for Congress because she knows firsthand that life simply isn’t working for people in North Florida right now. Brice is fed up, and she is ready to do something about it.

Between worrying about the price of gas while driving her kids to school and practices, to managing the realities of grocery bills that get bigger every week, Brice sees what families across the district are facing: wages that aren’t keeping up, and the rising cost of groceries, gas, insurance, and healthcare, putting real pressure on working households. And an establishment in Washington that is doing nothing to relieve that pressure, and in fact is making it worse with tariffs that don’t work and an ongoing war in the Middle East.

Brice has spent her life fighting for families – not just talking about problems, but solving them. Recently as President and Board Chair of Independence Landing, Brice oversaw building the first affordable housing community in Northwest Florida for people with disabilities to live independently.

Whether it was watching her parents advocate for educational opportunities for her sister with cerebral palsy, navigating a broken healthcare system when her son was diagnosed with a rare disease, or building a first-of-its-kind affordable housing community where adults with disabilities can live independently, Brice knows what it means to go up against a broken system and she has proven she can get results to help families in North Florida.

Brice has earned a reputation as a driver of change and someone who understands what it takes to solve problems. She was a leader with Floridians Protecting Freedom, a non-partisan group that advocated to limit government interference in women’s healthcare. She knows the biggest problems in Washington right now are corruption, lack of accountability, and an unwillingness to focus on lowering costs — all of which are hurting families, farmers, and fishing communities across our part of Florida. She is running for Congress to deliver capable, courageous, and principled leadership for North Florida families. She will be laser-focused on solving the affordability crisis and building a better future for your family and hers
