Meet Florida’s Most Beatable Bigot: 

Fabián Basabe

Fabián Basabe is the poster child for betrayal, scandal, and political hypocrisy. Representing Florida’s most LGBTQ+ visible legislative district, Basabe campaigned as a gay ally and promised moderation. Instead, he became one of Governor Ron DeSantis’s most loyal foot soldiers in pushing anti-LGBTQ+ legislation through the Florida House. From expanding “Don’t Say Gay” laws to voting to ban gender-affirming care, Basabe’s record is a roadmap of regression and extremism—all while facing multiple lawsuits, allegations of sexual misconduct, and public disgrace.

His district has had enough. In 2024, Basabe narrowly eked out re-election with just 51% of the vote. But his scandals have only grown. The communities of Miami Beach and Florida House District 106 deserve better than a self-serving, scandal-ridden extremist.

Basabe’s re-election campaign begins this year. So does the campaign to remove him. In 2026, Agenda PAC is committed to making that happen.

Key Vulnerabilities

  • Anti-LGBTQ+ Record

    • Voted for HB 1069 to expand the “Don’t Say Gay” law to upper grade levels and ban trans-affirming pronouns in schools.

    • Supported SB 254, banning gender-affirming healthcare for minors and giving the state power to override parental rights.

    • Voted for SB 1438, punishing businesses that host drag performances where minors are present—even with parental supervision.

    • Filed a symbolic bill to repeal the same-sex marriage ban, which died in committee; critics say it was a cover for his anti-LGBTQ+ record.

    • Broke campaign promises to be an LGBTQ+ ally, drawing condemnation from Equality Florida, SAVE, and Miami Beach Pride.

  • Sexual Harassment and Assault Allegations

    • Accused by two male aides of inappropriate touching, including grabbing buttocks & slapping a staffer. FL House declined discipline; civil case is pending.

    • Allegedly bit a hotel worker and a waitress in separate incidents, reinforcing his pattern of violent and erratic behavior.

  • Criminal History and Erratic Conduct

    • Arrested for DUIs in New York (2006) and Los Angeles (2008), along with a public urination and disorderly conduct charge.

    • A long public history of aggression, drunken misconduct, and arrogance during his pre-political “reality star” years.

  • Rejected by His Own Community

    • Disinvited from Miami Beach Pride in 2024 after being surrounded by security and booed in 2023.

    • Publicly compared to George Santos; LGBTQ+ constituents dubbed him the “George Santos of Florida.”

  • Minimal Legislative Achievements

    • Just one personal bill passed in two years. Most bills died without hearings. Symbolic “moderate” bills (same-sex marriage repeal, 12-week abortion ban) were widely ignored.

    • More known for headlines than impact.

  • Extremely Vulnerable

    • Won in 2022 by 242 votes. Re-elected in 2024 with just 51%—despite heavy GOP backing and personal wealth.

    • Represents a liberal district trending further left. Voters are organized and angry.

Fabián Basabe is one of the most toxic anti-equality politicians in Florida—a scandal-plagued opportunist who votes with extremists and betrays the values of the community he claims to represent.

He has:

    1. A clear record of attacking LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, and inclusive education.

    2. Embraced far-right culture war policies while using his identity as political cover.

    3. Been repeatedly accused of misconduct, including sexual harassment and violent behavior.

    4. Barely survived re-election in 2024, winning by just 2 points in a deep-blue, pro-equality district.

In a state where the fight for freedom and fairness is on the line, Fabián Basabe represents everything Agenda PAC was built to defeat.

He is Florida’s top 50-for-50 target.
