Native Floridian and lawyer Brandon Peters is making his way across the Panhandle to campaign as he runs for Congress.

Peters stopped by the NewsChannel 7 studios Wednesday morning to talk about his plans and ideas for the 2nd Congressional District.

He says some of the key items he's running for include lowering the cost of healthcare, increasing minimum wage, and bringing some tax relief to the middle class and working families.

He says what makes him unique is that he's running not for Democrats or Republicans but for the common man and woman.

"I don't look at the political landscape and see Republicans and Democrats, I see folks I'm going to work with today for the benefit of the district and other people I'm going to work with tomorrow on different issues," he said.

On the Democratic side, Peters is running against former Leon County Commissioner Bob Rackleff and on the Republican side, incumbent Congressman Neal Dunn.
