Ben Everidge loves public service, policy, and mission-driven campaigns. So much so, Ben was a 2024 Independent candidate for the United States Senate from Florida.

A ten-year veteran of professional committee, personal office, and campaign staff in the United States Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, Ben knows the Washington game inside out. He has worked in various capacities on over two dozen races for President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, Governor, state cabinet, state legislature, mayor, and county commission, with an impressive win-loss ratio.

Ben earned his Master’s degree in American Government from Georgetown University, where he was also named a prestigious University Fellow. He received his undergraduate degree in International Studies from the American University in Washington, D.C.

An author, Ben published his first political novel, Hoya: The Watchmen Waketh, in 2017 and his first political history project, Rescuing Nicholas: The Secret Mission to Save the Tsar, in 2018.  Sequels to both books are coming soon.

Ben is the Managing Partner of Cannon & Caius, a strategic consulting practice that empowers preeminent wealth to do great social collaborative good.  He and his wife, Nan, live in Central Florida and have four adult children.

Nan gets credit for being the first to call the DRP the “Damn Regular People” party.
