Behavioral Healthcare Tour
Since I was elected and assigned to the Judiciary Committee, I've been hearing about the need for, and working on, Baker Act reforms. I began the week, by touring the St. Joseph's Hospital's Behavioral Health Center to see the system in person.
BayCare's is an impressive, state-of-the-art facility staffed with some of Florida's top behavioral health experts. We talked about the interconected web of mental healthcare, their challenges, and ways we can make the system work better for kids, patients, and their families.

District 59 Open House
On Tuesday, we hosted a District 59 Open House. It was an excellent opportunity to speak with local constituents about the issues that matter most to them. Thank you to everyone who attended, and with things slowly returning to normal, we plan to make these a regular occurrence!

President Biden makes Juneteenth a Federal Holiday
This week, as we celebrated Juneteenth and the liberation of 250,000 enslaved black people in Texas, a full two years after President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, Congress passed, and President Biden signed legislation making Juneteenth a federal holiday. Yes, this is a great start, but we must remain committed to ending systemic racism in all of its ugly forms, including mass incarceration, voter suppression, workplace discrimination, and more.

Canvassing Kickoff on Saturday, June 26th
Reminder, we are hosting our 2022 Re-Election Campaign Canvassing Kickoff on Saturday, June 26th at 10:00 AM. Last cycle, we won by the slimmest margin of any Democrat in Florida, a mere 635 votes. This means that just a few canvassing or phone banking shifts likely made the difference in our race and prevented Republicans from having a supermajority. Click here for details and to RSVP.
