A Republican candidate for governor in Florida<\/a> announced on Monday that he launched a Tinder account so that he can campaign to young female voters in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n

James Fishback, a 31-year-old investment firm CEO<\/a>, shared his latest campaign move on X.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve joined @Tinder to meet young female voters where they are, and share my plan to make it easier for them to get married, buy a home, and raise a family,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

He added a screenshot of the profile that showed: “My hottest take is \u2026 Florida should offer paid maternity leave to all moms.”<\/p>\n

If elected, Fishback has said he\u2019d propose a hefty “sin tax” on OnlyFans<\/a> content creators.<\/p>\n

“Young women once aspired to be devoted mothers, doctors, lawyers, and nurses,” James Fishback told Fox News Digital in a statement last month.<\/p>\n

Fishback continued: “Today, young women are told by an online platform called OnlyFans that it\u2019s morally right to sell nude photos of themselves to strangers on the internet. I will not tolerate this cultural degeneracy as Florida\u2019s next Republican Governor.”<\/p>\n
