We are calling on Senator Ashley Moody to release the grand jury report into the $10 million in taxpayer funds diverted to Republican bank accounts from the Hope Florida scandal.

The corruption has to stop and Floridians deserve to know where their money went

Floridians are tired of career politicians like Ashley Moody being their voice in Washington.

They’re being crushed by high costs, and they want someone who is going to do something about it — and I’m ready to get it done.

🚨 Lee County: You may have a say in a race you weren’t expecting.

A last minute qualifying change means the race for Commissioner Dist 5 is now a Universal Primary Contest.

✅ Democrats can vote
✅ Republicans can vote
✅ NPAs can vote

Your vote counts on Aug 18. 🗳️

Had a great time last night in Orlando at the @FLAFLCIO candidate reception.

I was the only CFO candidate there —because I have always stood with labor, and I always will.

Working families deserve a CFO who fights for them. I’m in. 🔥

The maps changed. Your voice didn't. 🗣️

More than 100,000 Lee County voters have been moved into different congressional districts. If you're in Fort Myers, Gateway, North Fort Myers, Lehigh Acres, or surrounding areas, your ballot may look different this year.

Property tax relief or cuts to the services Floridians rely on?

Gov. Ron DeSantis’ property tax proposal could reshape how local governments fund public libraries, law enforcement, infrastructure, and other community services.

[Florida Democrats @FlaDems]

Our heartfelt thoughts are with Mayor Jerry Demings and his family. He has done incredible things for the people of Central Florida and built an undeniable legacy of service.

We are wishing him strength and a full recovery.

Today we hit the streets of Dunbar in Fort Myers ... and the Prosperity Agenda showed up! 💜

Our team knocked doors, talked to neighbors, and heard what matters most to the people of SWFL, affordable housing, lower costs, and a representative who actually shows up.

And speaking of affordable housing, we saw firsthand what it looks like when the federal government has to step in because a property owner isn't holding up their end of the bargain. People there are struggling with mold and food security.

The people of East Pointe Place deserve better. You all deserve better. That's exactly why I'm running.

SWFL doesn't have a congressman who shows up for communities like Dunbar. That's about to change.

Florida Republicans in Tallahassee have ONE job: pass the budget.

$115 billion are on the line, and Democrats are fighting to fully fund public education and address the affordability crisis.

Follow along for updates.

Are you ok with your money going to a new White House ballroom and a $1.7B slush fund for J6 insurrectionists?

Think about that question the next time you check out of the food store or fill up your tank.

My statement on Florida's partisan redistricting ⬇️

[Forrest Saunders @FBSaunders]

As the Florida House approved the @GovRonDeSantis map with new congressional districts-- Rep. @AngieNixon grabbed a bullhorn and protested the passage on the floor.

"This is a violation of the constitution," Nixon shouted. Here's the clip:

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

THESE MAPS ARE FUCKING INSANE!!! These maps will dilute representation from Southeast and Central Florida. If like me you live in Southeast Florida, the most populated area in the state, and are not paying attention to the efforts of @GovRonDeSantis to dilute your representation in Congress than you should be. Chances are that you will now share a congressman with someone from the west coast of Florida. In between is a bunch of swamp land known as the Everglades. This will mean that we may lose Representatives like Representative @RepMoskowitz, @DWStweets, and others. We will also lose representation in Tallahassee. Not because you wanted someone else, but because Ron DeSantis wanted someone else. He is giving the middle finger to all of South Florida and Central Florida on his way out the door. Please pay attention and make clear your determination not to let this happen.
