Civil Court History
(Revised 2026-08-14 — expanded search per Methodology Addenda.) No adverse civil litigation found against him personally; he helped instigate a PFAS-contamination class-action lawsuit as an advocate/plaintiff-side actor, which is not adverse to him. Separately, as a plaintiff, Long filed a defamation lawsuit against Chris Davey, chairman of the Delray Beach planning and zoning board Long previously served on, alleging Davey engaged in a "continuous online assault" via false social-media posts wrongly accusing Long of mortgage fraud. `[NOT FOUND — final case outcome — searched nationwide news — 2026-08-14]`. As petitioner-side litigation defending his own reputation, this is not adverse to him.

Ethics Violations
No ethics complaints found. Noted for context: while serving on Delray Beach's planning and zoning board, Long voted on development projects for which attorney Bonnie Miskel — who had referred clients to Long's marketing firm — appeared; reporting indicates Long disclosed this relationship before the votes and separately confirmed with city legal counsel that he had no disqualifying financial interest before proceeding. This is documented as a properly-disclosed relationship, not an ethics violation.

Policy & Platform Consistency 19 / 20
Voting Record
Long is an incumbent (since 12/9/2025 special election). His signature achievement is the Joe Casello Act, landmark legislation restricting cancer-linked PFAS "forever chemicals" to protect Florida's drinking water and first responders — named for his predecessor, the late Rep. Joe Casello. Because his special election occurred after the normal bill-filing deadline, he worked with colleagues to advance his legislative priorities (environmental protections, veterans support, local history preservation, community-organization investment) ahead of formally assuming sponsorship. `[A comprehensive floor-vote history was NOT independently compiled this pass.]`
