Meeting people where they are, pounding the pavement, and building sweat equity is how a true grassroots campaign wins. That’s how we beat establishment politicians like Brian Mast.

β€œWhat made you decide to run for Congress?” Bernard shared a story that changed his life. A man in his community couldn’t afford his insulin after the price cap was lifted. The emergency calls kept coming… until one day his blood sugar stayed high too long. He went into cardiac arrest.

If you’re tired of your money going towards war and destruction, support my campaign to defeat Brian Mast.

Any proposal that allows monitoring people for their β€œviews” or β€œopinions” crosses a dangerous First Amendment line.

Free speech is not a threat.
Dissent is not extremism.

Security must never come at the cost of constitutional rights.

Reject FL House Bill 945

Cutting HIV program funding in Florida is a step backward for public health and fiscal responsibility. Prevention saves lives and taxpayer dollars. We should be expanding access to care, not creating bigger, more expensive crises down the road.

As the field for Congressional District 21 begins to take shape, we are inviting you to a private forum with Primary Candidates for this seat. Hosted by Florida 180 with support from Speaking Up for America, this gathering will provide a space for continued thoughtful, honest conversation.

The people who didn’t know that Puerto Ricans were United States citizens are suddenly experts on the Middle East.

It’s never their friends and family that have to sacrifice their lives for this country.

It’s always yours and mine.

But hey at least they will send a β€œthoughts and prayers” tweet to thank you.

Tupac was right: β€œThey got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.”

The U.S. is now at war with Iran, that means American lives are on the line.

My opponent, Brian Mast, chairs the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee. That’s not symbolic, that role shapes foreign policy and oversight.

Floridians made it clear, No New Wars!

Clearly he does not care what we think

Anyone who would do this to a child is truly evil.

Young people in our community are thinking about leaving Florida, not because they want to, but because they don’t see opportunity here.

The cost of living here has really put homeownership out of reach in most of their eyes and wages simply aren’t keeping up with the rising cost.

What’s one value you refuse to compromise on, no matter the party?

Politics becomes toxic when winning matters more than values.

I’m not interested in winning that way.

You don’t have to agree with me on everything.

But we should agree that:

– Working people deserve stability
– Kids deserve strong public schools
– Families shouldn’t go bankrupt over illness

I’ve seen what happens when healthcare is treated like a luxury.

It doesn’t end well.

This isn’t about purity tests.

It’s about baseline values.

I don’t want your vote if you believe:

– Healthcare is a privilege
– Teachers are disposable
– Workers don’t deserve a living wage

I’d rather lose honestly.

For nearly 10 years, Brian Mast has represented FL-21.

In that time, only one sponsored bill became law: the South Florida Clean Coastal Waters Act.

It required a federal study.

Not funding.
Not enforcement.
Not stopping discharges.

FL-21 deserves results, not reports.

I’m not interested in being safe.
I’m interested in being effective.

Safe messaging beats hard reform, most of the time.

The system incentivizes staying elected more than solving problems.

I’m going to say something candidates are usually told not to say.

If you’ve ever delayed care because of cost, you’re not alone.

What needs to change first?
