Meet Lindsay
Lindsay Polega-Quigley Knows Floridians Are Working Hard.
They Deserve Leaders Who Will Too.
Lindsay Polega-Quigley knows what it means to work hard, to stretch every dollar, and to worry about healthcare costs. She's a self-made professional who has never forgotten the lessons her grandfather taught her. A descendant of Irish immigrants, he worked as a custodian, at a funeral home, and at the local meat market all to earn his education and become a history and civics teacher. His example taught her that no job is beneath you, all kinds of education opens doors, and service to your community matters.
Whether he was teaching in the classroom or helping a neighbor, he believes, as Lindsay does, that our country only works when ordinary people step up and take responsibility for making it better. As Lindsay watched Florida families struggle with rising insurance rates, housing costs, and healthcare expenses while politicians focused on special interests instead of solutions, she realized it was her turn to step up.
Like her grandfather, Lindsay worked many jobs to put herself through school and pursue her dream of becoming a lawyer. She became a lawyer to fight for justice, but, when she got into practice, what she saw troubled her. She watched insurance companies deny legitimate claims to homeowners who had lost everything, dragging out litigation until people gave up. She saw the same companies turn around and pay massive settlements in dubious cases because the cost of going to trial exceeded the cost of a check. Fraud was weaponized on both sides of the courtroom.
The system isn't broken by accident. It's rigged by design, by powerful interests who benefit from the confusion, and by a legislature that takes their money and looks the other way.
Lindsay knows families and members of our community are working hard to give their friends and loved ones chances they never had. It's why she's running for the Florida House of Representatives because the community she chose — the community she loves — deserves a fighter in Tallahassee who knows how the system actually works, and isn't afraid to fix it.

Money in politics is the problem. Grassroots is the answer.
Lindsay won't take a dime to look the other way. This campaign runs on neighbors chipping in what they can — so she answers to Pinellas, not lobbyists.
