Since I announced I was running for Congress two months ago, a few people (and pundits) have told me they’re giving up on Democrats in Florida
But here’s the thing: this is my home. And I can’t look my son in the eye and tell him I’m giving up when Republicans are building “Alligator Alcatraz” right next door, attacking our constitution, and tearing our community apart.
I know this community, and I know that we’re tired of the same old story from politicians in Washington. I also know that this seat is winnable.
This district was held by a Democrat five years ago. And Trump and Biden virtually tied in FL-27 in 2020.
Add on to that the fact that people are beyond fed up with our incumbent, Republican Maria Elvira Salazar: she voted for Trump’s terrible budget bill that will take healthcare away from 100,000 people in our district and add $3 trillion dollars to the national debt.
She also DEFENDED the horrific conditions at “Alligator Alcatraz” and went on Fox News to praise Trump’s brutal immigration policies.
