Miami Heat. Horses. Sometimes lawyer. Enjoys a good concession speech.

@edmiester @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski Both things can be true at the same time.

@patriottakes @Martina This the guy insisting on dress codes for air travel?

@ERodforCongress @TheRickWilson He doesn’t have a big lead over @pegueroformiami. And Robin is the most qualified person running for this seat by far. Polls also show Robin Peguero doing just as well against Maria Salazar. So let’s knock off the inevitability bit.

Be like Eagles Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Don Henley. Robin Peguero is the “Boy of the Summer” whose got the experience and energy to flip this seat blue. Join the movement. 😎🥁🎸

In front of a mural of José Martí at the Hialeah library I frequented as a kid, Reuters asked me about my message to voters. Simple: Vote for balance, vote for divided government again to get back to the basics (grow this economy, keep resources on the border and on deporting violent criminals) and not the extremes. Many of us fled from countries with one-party rule. We need a change.

Muchos de nosotros huimos de países regidos por un sistema de partido único. Necesitamos un cambio.

That’s the problem.

A new generation is what we need. Robin’s qualifications for congress are unmatched in this race. Check him out!

The job is simple. Talk to folks. Listen. Be honest about how you’re going to make their lives better. How you’re going to put more money in their pockets. How you’re going to defend their rights and the rule of law.

El trabajo es sencillo. Habla con la gente. Escucha. Ser honesto sobre cómo vas a mejorar sus vidas. Cómo vas a poner más dinero en sus bolsillos. Cómo vas a defender sus derechos y el estate de derecho.

No Kings protest today in Tropical Park. Lots of photos and videos incoming.
But first, some supporters pop up with signs behind me as I defend our community on CBS. Power to the people.

I won’t let anyone define me first. Or try to label me before I even introduce myself. I am a democratic capitalist. Market solutions, like a public option in the health care market to increase competition and give consumers more choice, are the way to go. People in this country — from people working two jobs to families that consider themselves comfortable or even wealthy — pay too much in taxes when billionaires with a ‘b’ and corporations often pay none. Zero. You deserve to keep the fruits of your labor. But fair is fair.

No permitiré que nadie me defina promero. Ni que intenten etiquetarme siquiera antes de que me presente. Soy un capitalista democrático. Las soluciones de mercado — como una opción pública en el sector salud para aumentar la competencia y ofrecer a los consumidores más alternativas — son el camino a seguir. La gente de este país —desde quienes tienen dos empleos hasta las familias que se consideran acomodadas o incluso adineradas— paga demasiados impuestos, mientras que los “billionaires” y las grandes corporaciones a menudo no pagan nada. Cero. Usted merece conservar los frutos de su trabajo. Pero lo justo es justo.

@Fla_Pol @AmandiOnAir @ERodforCongress @JesseScheckner If true, not for long. Other polls show it much closer with @pegueroformiami. He is the most qualified candidate and will overcome the instant name recognition advantage built in here.

[Kit Monahan @KitMonahan]

@AmandiOnAir @ERodforCongress @ERodCBS4 @MaElviraSalazar Our poll showed him in a statistical tie with Robin Peguero. He’s not quitting. And bless the Hispanic Congressional Caucus for re-endorsing @pegueroformiami after Elliott’s late entry.

[Kit Monahan @KitMonahan]

@RachelBitecofer Is he related to Elon? Anyone else see a resemblance?

I live in this district. Robin’s credentials and qualifications are unmatched in this race. I’m with him.

[Robin Peguero @pegueroformiami]

The national Hispanic Caucus in Congress has lined up behind the strongest Latino candidate for the largest Hispanic district currently represented by a Republican (at 74%) — and his name is Robin Peguero. He has been in the fight for our country and democracy for 20 years, and he is ready to be congressman on Day One.
— Signed, Team Peguero

Miami deserves a leader who is battle tested and has fought for our families, freedom, and safety. Not someone jumping in from the sidelines, having remained neutral when our livelihoods and democracy were on the line. As a prosecutor, I spent my career locking up violent criminals who threatened Miami’s families. As a congressional investigator, I exposed those who betrayed democracy and the nation. That whole time, it’s always been clear where I stood. Because I was in the fight.

This country is at a crossroads, and the people are yearning for a new generation of leadership with the grit and stamina to never back down from what’s right. Maria Elvira Salazar – a former TV journalist with zero experience in public service or the issues – let us down. The answer is not more of the same.

For the past eight months, our campaign has been doing the work – and it shows. We’ve built an unmatched coalition of support across Miami, earning nearly two dozen major endorsements including the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Latino Victory Fund, the Congressional Black Caucus, the last Democrat to win this seat, Congresswoman Shalala, and current Florida Congresswoman Lois Frankel. We’ve raised well over $700,000 and now have more than 6,000 individual donors, more than any other candidate.

But I’ve been doing the work for longer than these eight months. Ever since I started in public service twenty years ago.

For anyone entering the arena for the first time, I say, welcome to the fight. I will continue doing what I’ve always done.
