Candidate for Florida Senate District 30
Advocate | Educator | Mom
Senate Democratic Leader 2021-24

[Lauren Book @LeaderBookFL]

I’m proud to announce my candidacy for the Florida Senate, District 30 — because families in this community deserve a fighter who knows how to get things done.

I’ve spent my life fighting for children, families, survivors, and communities too often overlooked or ignored — and I’m ready to bring that fight back to Tallahassee.

I’m running to make Florida more affordable for working families and seniors, keep our children and communities safe, protect our fundamental freedoms, and deliver the kind of leadership rooted in compassion, accountability, and real results.

That’s the work I’ve always believed in — and I’m ready to keep fighting for it.

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 🏳️‍🌈

I believe everyone deserves the freedom to be who they are, love who they love, and live without fear of discrimination or hate. Our differences make our communities stronger, and standing up for one another is how we build a Florida where everyone belongs.

This month and every month, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community in the fight for dignity, equality, and opportunity for all.

[Lauren Book @LeaderBookFL]

Thank you, Commissioner @Michaeludine, for your friendship and support!

[Lauren Book @LeaderBookFL]

I’m running because the challenges facing Florida families are real — from rising costs to threats to our freedoms — and I know we can make a difference when we work together. I’m honored to have their trust and support, and I’m ready to keep fighting alongside them.

🚨 Endorsement Alert! 🚨

I’m incredibly grateful for the support of these leaders — Broward Mayor Mark Bogen, Palm Beach County Commissioner Maria Sachs, Boca City Council Member Yvette Drucker, Coconut Creek Commissioner Josh Rydell, and former Senator Kevin Rader — many of whom I’ve had the privilege of working alongside for years.

Whether it was fighting to keep children safe, improving public safety, protecting our environment, or delivering resources for our communities, we’ve shared a commitment to making people’s lives better.

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨

Congressman @JaredEMoskowitz has always understood that public service is about showing up, solving problems, and putting people ahead of politics. We’ve worked side-by-side on some of the most consequential public safety and child protection legislation in Florida history, including the response to the tragedy in Parkland. I’m grateful for his support and proud of the work we’ve accomplished together to make our communities safer and stronger.

Thank you to Senator @TinaPolsky, who served our community well in this seat and has decided not to seek re-election, Senate Democratic Leader Lori Berman, and Senator @MackBernardFL for their early support!

My friend and former collage Senator Tina Polsky has always led with both heart and conviction. From standing up for reproductive freedom to helping lead the fight for gun safety after Parkland, our work together mattered and Tina’s impact on Florida will be felt for generations. Smart, strategic, relentless in the fight for justice and human decency — and always guided by tikkun olam. Grateful for her friendship, her partnership, and her unwavering commitment to our shared values. Here’s to what’s next… including Tina’s mission to elect the first Democratic governor in decades!

As we travel across Florida, the Voices Project is capturing stories of courage & survival. Some survivors are sharing experiences from decades ago—others for the first time. Different journeys, one truth: survivors deserve to be heard. Thank you for trusting us with your voice.
