“Felipe understands the importance of showing up, speaking out, and fighting for people who too often feel overlooked. He leads with compassion and authenticity alongside a true commitment to his community. I know how to break down barriers in Tallahassee, and I’m ready to see Felipe do the same thing at the Capitol.” - Representative Michele Rayner

This campaign has been an incredible learning experience but an enjoyable one. Nothing is more amazing to me than having real conversations with residents of district 42 at their front door and hearing about how we can make real change in their lives in the Florida legislature.
I’m incredibly humbled and honored that people continue to come out every week to support us and help talk to voters with us. This milestone is a testament to their hard work and our campaigns continued mission to speak with future constituents about the issues affecting them every day.
Thank you to everyone who chipped in on this effort I cannot wait to hit our next milestone and talk to even more voters. If you’d like to join us in that effort, visit https://t.co/oxPeBkLyqC
Happy Pride, District 42!
Luis and I chose to make our home here because we believe in this community.
To every LGBTQ+ person in our district: I see you. I love you. And I’ll never stop fighting for your right to thrive.
Happy Pride! 🌈🌈🌈 #PrideMonth
Every single thing our campaign has been able to accomplish is due entirely to the outpouring of grassroots support from across Orange County. I couldn’t be more thankful for everyone who is supporting our vision of a Florida where we all thrive together. Every dollar, door knock, or conversation that’s donated to our campaign is furthering our movement to deliver for Florida families and bring solutions to Tallahassee.
Thank you for your support, we’re running full steam ahead towards victory in November!
This decision to end vaccine mandates is not based in fact or in science. Our leadership in Tallahassee is incompetent and willing to kill children in Florida.
Our state is being left behind by this administration.
As a person of faith, I don’t want to hear about prayers anymore.
Almost 10 years ago the Pulse massacre took 49 angels, one of the deadliest shootings in history. It’s unacceptable to still see children getting shot while praying. It’s high time for common sense gun reform. No more thoughts and prayers. We need immediate action!
I know first hand how the Republican supermajority in Tallahassee is working to sow division by creating culture wars, instead of focusing on the issues that truly matter to Floridians. I’m happy to endorse Felipe for House District 42 to gain another fighter on our team in Tallahassee that cares deeply about addressing the affordability crisis in our state. I cannot think of a better advocate to send to Tallahassee to take on the hate and division we currently see. - @RitaForFlorida
I stand in support of @UniteHere737 in their call for further investigation! All workers are entitled to safe conditions, and our union leaders will continue to keep up the fight. It’s time for Disney to respect that right, hold their subcontractors accountable, and take action.
I’m so thankful to everyone who came out to our official campaign kickoff. The night was electric, full of cultura, inspiration, and comunidad.
Our movement grows stronger every day, powered by everyday people who are fed up with Republicans ignoring the real-life struggles of Floridians while attacking the most vulnerable.
I’m running because I believe we must Thrive Together. Let’s build a Florida where dignity and opportunity belong to all of us.

NEW: Alligator Alcatraz isn’t meant for minors. A 15 year old ended up there anyway.
State and federal officials initially deflected questions about the boy being held at the facility, but eventually acknowledged he had been there.

This One Big Ugly Bill will kill Floridians.
2.3 Million will lose health insurance.
574,000 will lose SNAP.
6.4 Million cut from FEMA as an intense hurricane season approaches.
Republicans in Congress and this administration handed Floridians a death sentence.
“Equality Florida Action PAC is proud to endorse Felipe Sousa-Lazaballet in the race for Florida House District 42. In a moment of unprecedented attacks against both immigrant and LGBTQ+ communities, Felipe has stepped forward as the leader we need. His long record of public service in local government and the nonprofit sector only enhances his experiences as a leader in the fights for LGBTQ+ and immigrant justice. Equality Florida Action PAC is declaring this a top priority race in 2026 because we know it’s time to grow the LGBTQ caucus in the Florida Capitol and to elect Florida’s first ‘Dreamer’ lawmaker.”
- Equality Florida Senior Political Director Joe Saunders

Take a look at these images from "Alligator Alcatraz"
This is a modern day internment camp, built without due process, without human rights protections, and on land that should be protected. It is a waste of resources that should go towards the actual needs of our communities.

I strongly appose the decision made by the Supreme Court today.
The 14th amendment is clear. Anyone born in the United States is a citizen. I will continue to fight for the rights of all Americans.
