Good morning! Another busy week of connecting with constituents and preparing for next year's legislative session is complete. To keep you informed, I want to provide a brief overview of the important things taking place in District 59.

But first, a reminder that COVID-19 vaccines are available to all Floridians aged 12 and over .

2022 Re-Election Campaign Kickoff:

On Wednesday, we hosted our official 2022 Re-Election Campaign Kickoff event at the Winthrop Town Center. Thank you to everyone who attended or showed your support in another way! Because of you, the campaign is building momentum, and I feel confident about our chances in the upcoming election.

If you were unable to attend but still want to support our campaign, here are a few ways you can help:

1. Start a small, recurring contribution to our campaign.

2. Print, complete, and mail back our candidate petition form.

3. Sign-up to volunteer with the 2022 campaign.

Team Andrew Organizes Community Blood Drive:

Our team organized a community blood drive with One Blood and the Big Red Bus earlier in the week. Thank you to everyone who donated and to Jennifer, Morgan, and Valerie for making this event possible. The Big Red Bus will be back in a few months, so don't forget to mark your calendars!

Visiting the Champions for Change Event:

I also had the pleasure of visiting the athletes at Champions for Change! This event promotes inclusion by offering an opportunity for alternatively abled kids to participate in athletic competition. The organizers did an excellent job planning the event, and every kid left with a huge smile on their face! Click here to learn more and support 21 & Change.

Tallahassee Republicans Abandon Struggling Workers:

On the policy front, Tallahassee Republicans continue attacking Florida's working-class families. Recently, the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, headed by the former Republican Majority Leader, announced the state would stop accepting federal unemployment support for struggling workers. The federal program gave unemployed workers an extra $300 per week on top of the state benefits. Now, unemployed Florida workers will get a maximum of $275 per week, one of the cheapest rates in the United States. Click here to learn more.

Hillsborough County Commission Advances Apprenticeship Ordinance:

Ending our weekly review with some positive news, in a major win for organized labor and working people, Hillsborough County passed an ordinance that requires county projects to use registered apprentices. Apprenticeship programs are crucial for training the next generation of skilled union workers, and this ordinance does just that. Kudos to everyone who spoke in support of the measure and the county for investing in skilled workers.

Thank you for reading my weekly review! If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please reach out.
