Florida Republicans won 57% of the vote in ‘24 House races.

Donald Trump and Mike Johnson think they’re entitled to 82% of our congressional seats.

These authoritarians are desperate to rig the rules because they are TERRIFIED of free and fair elections.

This is not democracy.

Jared Moskowitz has accepted over $27,000 in donations from the Big Sugar billionaire Fanjul family that contributed millions to Donald Trump.

We need Democrats with a spine to reject Big Sugar's money and fight with integrity for Everglades restoration. Clean water for Florida.

Big Sugar's 8,000 acre Southland Rock Mine beside the EAA Reservoir poses an existential threat to the Everglades.

Captains for Clean Water are leading the fight to stop it.

Sign their letter to Governor DeSantis calling on him to stop the rock mine: captainsforcleanwater.org/no-rock-mine/

Those same Big Sugar baron billionaire donors are currently pushing through the dangerous Southland Rock Mine that is a vital threat to Everglades restoration.

I need your help to primary this anti-immigrant, Big Sugar-backed corporate Democrat.

We MUST stand up for immigrants and the environment.

Ron DeSantis & Donald Trump don’t care if they drive the Florida panther to extinction if they can harm more immigrants to score political points.

Jared Moskowitz was the ONLY Florida Democrat who voted for Trump’s racist immigration law.

He’s taken $27k from Trump’s Big Sugar billionaire donors.

Florida Republicans already gerrymandered our congressional map 20-8 in 2022.

Apparently their rigged map isn’t rigged enough.

Blue states must be ruthless—Republicans are throwing out the Voting Rights Act for Jim Crow 2.0.

I’ll run to represent South Florida no matter what.

Jared Moskowitz authored the House amendment censoring the State Department from citing Gaza Health Ministry data, including death tolls.

Now he’s smearing the civilians including women+children who survived Israel’s pager attack in Lebanon as terrorists.

This is unacceptable.

Donald Trump, the Epstein associate found liable for sexual abuse by a jury of his peers, has created a Republican Party culture that protects pedophiles and predators.

Cory Mills should join fellow predator Matt Gaetz and resign from Congress.

Men need to call this out.

Billionaire owners & media deals get richer & more corrupt.

Congress must enforce interstate commerce & antitrust law.

The NFL must fully guarantee contracts.

The NCAA must recognize athletes as employees, pay a wage, & give them the right to unionize and collectively bargain.

Yes, we absolutely must add House seats to the Congress. It is ridiculous that states lose representation in decennial redistricting, even if their population increases when it doesn’t keep pace with larger states.

Even with new technology for mass communication, one person can’t represent 760,000.

Republicans are throwing out the Voting Rights Act in TX.

Dems should respond in-kind.

But this is deeper than SCOTUS gutting the VRA in Shelby County v Holder.

Congress stopped expanding at 435 in 1929–while our population tripled.

Restore the VRA.
Pass HR1.
Uncap the House.

Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.

Jared Moskowitz is the Democrat who authored the House amendment censoring the State Department from citing data from the Gaza Health Ministry, including death tolls.

He is part of the coverup.

Help me primary him.

Dem Rep Sorry for ‘Inappropriate’ Meme of Biden Ogling Sydney Sweeney The Democratic lawmaker deleted the tweet but not before reporters screenshotted his misguided memelording.

I'm a scuba diver.

Diving connects me to FL23's coral reef ecosystem—0.1% of ocean area, home to 25% of marine species.

The Florida Reef is the only coral reef in the continental US—3rd-largest barrier reef on Earth.

It's under threat. This is why I fight for a Green New Deal.

I spent a decade as a campaign staffer & strategist before running for Congress.

The system is broken—it comes down to greed.

Mothership’s scammy tactics are flatly unethical.

In the House, I’ll introduce legislation to crack down on shady PACs siphoning money intended for Democratic candidates.

As a 24 year old coming off of the Bernie 2016 campaign, I had the opportunity to continue supporting the progressive moment working with @Our-Revolution.bsky.social and @NinaTurner.bsky.social — who taught me a defining political lesson.

Palestinian children have been killed at a rate of more than one child per hour during Israel's war in Gaza.

“A whole classroom of children killed every day for nearly two years,” UNICEF’s executive director said.

Here are some of their stories: wapo.st/3UCiAjn

Jared Moskowitz has accepted over $27,000 from the Big Sugar billionaire Fanjul family that donates to Donald Trump.

Their greed is destroying the Everglades, and corporate Democrats like Moskowitz are too compromised to fight back.

I’m primarying him because we deserve better.

Jared Moskowitz has taken $320k from AIPAC, his top donor.

He authored the House amendment censoring Gaza Health Ministry death tolls.

He joined the GOP censure of Rep. Tlaib.

He told Fox he’s to the right of Trump’s admin on Iran.

I just gave to Oliver for Congress! Become a founding donor, donate today.

Self-serving politicians who only look out for themselves and their corporate donors are the root of the problem in Washington.

My first monthly fundraising deadline is at midnight. Chip in $23 to fuel our movement and elect a REAL Democrat for FL-23: secure.actblue.com/donate/ofc_s...

When he does show up, Democrats find ourselves wishing he hadn't — like when he joined Republicans as the only Florida Democrat to support Trump's immigration law in January that gave power to ICE. He's also joined the GOP in censuring Al Green, Rashida Tlaib, and much more.

Moskowitz was rated Florida's Least Effective Democrat in Congress by the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt University's nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking:

-Fewest bills sponsored.
-Fewest advanced.
-2.5x the average missed votes.

He's not showing up to work.

I'm rejecting corporate PAC money to give FL-23 real representation in DC.

Moskowitz made ~$156.4k on the stock market *just last month*. He's taken $100s of $1000s from corporate PACs.

He was the first Democrat on Elon Musk's DOGE Caucus that gut the federal government.

My name is Oliver Larkin — I'm a 1st-time candidate running in the Democratic primary vs. incumbent Jared Moskowitz in FL-23.

At 23, I quit my minimum wage restaurant job as a line cook to volunteer in New Hampshire for Bernie Sanders. 10 years later, I'm running for Congress.
