Bad news for Ron DeSantis.
Great news for Florida.
A vast majority of Floridians support amendments to legalize cannabis and expand access to abortion.

Over two-thirds of voters said they want Monique Worrell to be our state attorney, yet Ron DeSantis took it upon himself to remove her because heโs an authoritarian ideologue.

Throughout history, young people have been the change. We deserve a seat at the table, we deserve a habitable planet, and we deserve leaders who care about us.

But far too often, the path to public office is closed to young leaders.

In 2022, I vividly remember sitting at the airport when I got a call from my older sister. She called to inform me that Roe v. Wade was overturned.
This move by the U.S. Supreme Court not only broke precedence, but spoke volumes about how far to the right many of our U.S.
After years of organizing and advocating for protecting our rural boundaries, this November, voters can vote on the rural boundaries amendment.
This allows Orange County voters to decide whether they want urban sprawl or smart and sustainable growth.
Orlando is already the least walkable city in the country, yet Republican legislators want to allow Big Developers to continue scamming us with urban sprawl. Why not let voters decide whether or not we want to protect our rural boundaries?

โNate understands the importance of working with local leaders to fix our justice system and address the disparities within our Black and Brown communities." - Orange County Commissioner, Mike Scott.
Along with faculty & students from across Florida, I tried to speak at the BOG meeting at UCF, only to witness democracy suppressed. Banning DEI is a dark turn โ my voice, and others, won't be silenced. True Americans stand against censorship and embrace diversity of thought.
Thank you so much East Orange Chamber of Commerce for inviting me to your Pancakes and Promises Breakfast yesterday morning!
Some of my most productive conversations surrounded affordable housing and public education, two issues I champion daily while Iโm on the campaign trail.
Being raised by a public school teacher of 25 years and being a substitute teacher has taught me the importance of valuing educators.
Florida is competing with other states to pay teachers the least, but Iโm going to continue fighting for them and their families.
