John,

as you probably are aware, parts of Florida are currently overwhelmed with
the effects of Hurricane Ian  - a devastating and powerful storm that is
projected to impact several states along the coast. I am sending this
email from my phone as the only real method of communication I have until
it dies. For a lot of us going through this long-lasting disaster, that
will be our only way to stay in touch with our loved ones. This storm made
a shift in its path, and we were stuck here at the last minute without the
time or ability to evacuate.

(this is what it looks like in my community right now...)

This awful event reminds me why I decided to run for Congress here in
Florida's 19th... It's because every year we hear the same disregard for
the real impacts of climate change: that this storm is the “worst one
yet.” It happens every season now and not enough of our elected officials
are taking the threat of the climate crisis seriously.  So many are so
strictly headfirst into their political goals that they forget the real
impacts on the lives of Americans. Americans DIE because of this. There is
no time to waste on climate action. Scientists across the world agree that
we are only seeing the beginning of the worst. I’m a mother and a
scientist, and my concern is for ALL of us.

I intend to take these threats very seriously, while MAGA-Republicans
ignore them. Their inability to craft plans and put preparations in place
are a blatant disregard for the lives of their constituents: the people in
their district who are neighbors, friends, and community leaders
that ALL deserve concern for their well-being.

Today, as we face the horrific after-effects of this storm, I am asking
you to think about the lives at stake because of inaction on climate
change. It is only going to get worse if we do not have the people in
place that will do something about it.

Left Behind as the lives of Floridians, as well as others across the
country, cannot wait on the other side to finally listen to us.

I can’t express enough thanks for your support. It means the world to me
and to us, and I know we can face this scary reality head-on if we are in
the fight together.
