U.S. House (FL-16). No party. No lobbyists. Just truth, fire, and working-class fight. #VotesNotBoats

Our episode with Stephanie Kendall drops 12/02! We talked real struggles, real solutions, and why working-class leadership matters now more than ever. What’s the #1 issue you want fixed in Washington? Let’s build this movement together. 🌱
This video speaks to lived experience in FL-16 — rent, groceries, wages, and the real math working people face every day. It’s about repairing what was broken and building a united coalition that represents Bradenton, Palmetto, Riverview, Brandon, Wimauma, and Rubonia.

Working-class candidate for FL-16.
I didn’t read this life in a report — I lived it.
Rent, groceries, wages, survival math.
It’s time to repair what was broken and build a united coalition beyond party labels.
Bradenton • Palmetto • Riverview • Brandon • Wimauma • Rubonia

Tonight in FL-16, we helped rescue an injured brown pelican found near dumpsters with a broken wing. Secured safely, kept calm, and transferred to wildlife rehab for care. This is what community looks like—showing up when it matters, for all life.

Manatee & Hillsborough deserve representatives, not fundraisers. This campaign rejects corporate money and party call-time now, not after Election Day. We’re building an open-source coalition focused on people over party labels and real action before we win—not promises later.

Manatee & Hillsborough deserve representation, not call-time politicians. We’re building an open-source coalition that rejects donor control now, not after Election Day. Money out of politics. Collaboration over party labels. This seat is winnable—if we stop splitting the same votes.

Bradenton, Palmetto, Parrish, Riverview, Brandon—this district is done being ignored. When representation disappears, people step up. This seat is winnable when we stop splitting the same votes. Change isn’t someday. It’s now. #FL16 #VotesNotBoats #WorkingClass

WARNING: FL-16 just went feral.
Bradenton, Palmetto, Parrish, Riverview, Brandon — this district belongs to the people, not donors or party bosses. Open-source politics. No handlers. No silence. Representation is back. #FL16 #ManateeCounty #HillsboroughCounty

Our first ad of 2026! Because politics stuck in 2006 won't meet the moment.

It's time to stand up to ICE, white supremacists, and the billionaire oligarchy.

Silence from Congress led us here. While families in FL-16 struggle, shutdowns loom and force escalates. Bradenton, Palmetto, Riverview, Brandon, Sun City Center, Apollo Beach, Wimauma—this district deserves action now, not delays or excuses.

We woke up to news of another war. Florida’s 16th District deserves accountability, not silence. Congress must act—no more blank checks while working people struggle at home. Bradenton, Palmetto, Parrish, Brandon, Riverview, Wimauma—people here come first.

I’m angry—and people have every right to be. Billions sent overseas, billions for weapons and corporations, while working people in FL-16 struggle to afford rent, healthcare, and basic life. This isn’t new. Both parties own it. People deserve to come first—now, not later.

Just a snapshot in time of what both sides of our gov. has continued since all our lifetimes This is never been a new issue for any of us reading this We choose to solve it fix it or look away

The United States government was aware of atrocities, including mass rape, through diplomatic reporting

Thank you to everyone who supported us this past year—every share, message, conversation, and ounce of belief. This campaign exists because people showed up and refused to be ignored. Together, we’re building something real, and we’re just getting started!

Just showing some love back to one of our many supporters We don't do this enough and we see and hear and thank each and every one of you!!

Grateful this season for the people building something real here in FL-16. From Hillsborough & Manatee Counties to across Florida, this campaign is powered by community, collaboration, and showing up for one another.

“They always find money for war and bailouts, but say there’s ‘no money’ for you. District 16 needs $2B a year for healthcare, education, and livable wages. Pay the people.

Unaffiliated, working-class candidate for FL-16 serving Bradenton, Sarasota, Palmetto, Riverview & Brandon. No PACs, no party bosses, no corporate donors. Housing, wages, healthcare & dignity first. Built by voters, not money. Votes not boats.

Grassroots candidates don’t win alone — we win together.
Independent media, local organizers, and collaboration are how we flip seats and build real power. Grateful for everyone showing up and amplifying working-class voices.

I’m deeply honored to earn the endorsement of State Rep. Abdelnasser Rashid! He has been a fearless advocate for civil rights, economic justice, and accountability across Illinois.

So proud to stand alongside Rep. Rashid as we fight for a government that works for people, instead of corporations.

Congress works for donors and yachts — not working people.
I’m running because low wages, food banks, and no safety net aren’t accidents.
Florida’s 16th deserves real representation and real dignity.
