🌊 After a lot of thought (and a few nudges from friends), I’m running for Congress in Florida’s 5th District!
DC choices hit home — from the cost of living to the freedoms we count on.
I’m running to make life more affordable, hold leaders accountable, and protect our democracy. 💙

H.R. 1 locks in billionaire tax breaks—while letting family supports quietly expire.

It’s not an accident. It’s a message.

Great night with the Duval Young Dems in Jax Beach 🌊

Always encouraging to see young people showing up, speaking out, and building the future they want to live in 💪🏽💬

Thanks for the good vibes and great convos!

Heard Rep. Angie Nixon speak truth at the Ponte Vedra Dems:
🛑 “Alligator Alcatraz” is an internment camp.
🏠 Housing & insurance crises still ignored in Tallahassee.

Proud to speak after her — and to keep pushing for better.

Florida banned fluoride in drinking water. Not junk insurance. Not corporate price gouging.

Fluoride.

This is what happens when culture war nonsense trumps public health.

🗳 Vote them all out.

June 14 = DUVAL DAY OF DEFIANCE 🔥

Protests, rallies, book signings, markets — all across Jacksonville. I’ll be at several! Find me + let’s snap a pic! ✊🏽

Even if you can only make one event, show up and be seen.

Advocacy is working—but we’re not done. FL lawmakers are backing off cuts to AP, IB & dual enrollment. Let’s keep up the pressure for fully funded classrooms, fair teacher pay & support for every student. Contact the budget committee: tinyurl.com/FLEdBudgetAc... #FLEd

Scott Pelley’s Wake Forest commencement speech called out our pernicious slide into authoritarianism — it was brave, urgent, and necessary. As a Wake Forest mom, I’m proud. As an American, I’m alarmed. Silence is complicity. We must speak up, lead, and fight for democracy.

A nice crew came out to Pablo Creek Library last Saturday to connect with neighbors west of the Intracoastal in FL House District 16—a part of the district that’s too often overlooked.

In Lake Mary this morning with Florida Voices for Health, talking Florida healthcare + pushing our petition to hold the shady HOPE Foundation accountable. Floridians deserve better than backroom deals. #HealthcareJustice #AccountabilityFL

🚨 Florida’s 2025 session is in OT — but only for the budget. All policy bills are DONE.

Your advocacy mattered. We stopped some awful ones. But lawmakers failed on:
❌ healthcare and insurance costs
❌ HOPE scandal
❌ insurance co. corruption
