Kimberly Overman

Meet Kimberly

From kitchen tables to county government—Kimberly’s journey is rooted in service, resilience, and results.

Kimberly Overman is a mom, a grandmother, a small business owner, and a public servant with deep roots in Florida’s 12th District. She’s running for Congress because she believes leadership should be about listening, showing up, and delivering real solutions—not playing politics or chasing headlines.

Raised in a working-class family that faced housing insecurity, Kimberly learned early what it means to struggle—and to persevere. Her mother juggled multiple jobs to keep the family afloat, and those early experiences shaped Kimberly’s lifelong commitment to fairness, opportunity, and economic justice.

Over the years, Kimberly has worn many hats: she put herself through college, earned her Certified Financial Planner designation, and built a successful advisory firm focused on ethical financial guidance. She’s volunteered in her community for decades, applying her background in economics and planning to real-world challenges—especially around housing, transportation, and sustainability.

As a Hillsborough County Commissioner from 2018 to 2022, Kimberly delivered during some of the region’s most challenging moments. She led during the COVID-19 pandemic, championing emergency support for small businesses, childcare providers, and vulnerable residents. She pushed for expanded public health programs, affordable housing initiatives, and more equitable infrastructure investment.

But what sets Kimberly apart isn’t just her experience—it’s her empathy. As a mother and grandmother, she knows what’s at stake for the next generation. She understands what families are facing because she’s lived it: the high cost of care, the fear of unexpected bills, the frustration with a system that too often leaves people behind.

In Washington, Kimberly will bring a grounded, no-nonsense approach to leadership—focused on solutions, service, and building a future where everyone has a fair shot.
