In August 2026, Winter Haven City Commissioner Chad Davis — a fellow Republican — publicly criticized Rep. Albert's first term, writing that "Tallahassee has a representative. Winter Haven doesn't," and arguing that local decisions are best made locally, not "by bureaucrats and special interests hundreds of miles away."
