Official Statement from Luther “Uncle Luke” Campbell
Candidate for U.S. Congress – Florida’s 20th District
“After decades of fighting for my community—from the courtroom defending free speech all the way to the United States Supreme Court, to building businesses that created jobs across the South, to mentoring and coaching thousands of young people into college—I have officially decided to run for Congress in Florida’s 20th District. My first order of business is to qualify by petition and let the people speak.
This campaign is about results, not rhetoric. I’m not going to Washington to grandstand. I’m going to bring resources back home to CD20.
Our district deserves leadership that understands job creation, workforce housing, affordable rent, access to quality healthcare, protecting Medicare and Medicaid, expanding mental health services, revitalizing trade and technical schools, and investing in youth programs that reduce crime and create opportunity.
For more than 35 years, I have worked on the ground in Liberty City and throughout South Florida—co-founding Liberty City Optimist, partnering with city and county leaders, building relationships with corporate sponsors, and helping hundreds of thousands of young people access education and opportunity through sports and mentorship. I’ve done the work. I have the relationships. And I know how to get things done.
There is no one else in this race who has demonstrated the ability to build, fight, and deliver for this community the way I have. My goal is to make CD20 the standard of what a congressional district in America should look like—revitalized, respected, and resourced.
This is about uplifting our seniors, empowering our youth, protecting working families, and ensuring that the people of CD20 have a strong, independent voice in Washington.
It’s time to turn influence into impact.”

This must end!
