Our community deserves resources to support the 1 million extra visitors we see everyday. Unfortunately, Florida has handcuffed our ability to do that in order to continue corporate welfare. I’ll fight to change that.

The “one size fits all” approach is failing our communities. We have to use every tool available to seriously address the housing crisis facing everyday families in this moment.

Faith teaches us to love all our neighbors, not just the ones we agree with.

Many officials use faith as a way to divide us, but they misrepresent everything that faith is about.

How long until we see troops on our streets and in our community? How long until our service men and women are asked to fire on American citizens?

Tallahassee has turned their back on the working people of Florida.

It’s more important than ever that we show up for our neighbors, listen to them, and work to help them.

Everyday I see firsthand, folks who are struggling with Florida’s affordability crisis. Yet Tallahassee has turned their back on them. It’s time for new leadership that actually puts Floridians first.

This isn't your grandmothers Democratic Party, and we won't sacrifice our community for Republicans idealogical power grab.

If we seriously believe in a Florida that doesn't price working families out of the state and sell them out to corporations, then we can’t afford to not get in this fight.

Tallahassee is sending a clear message: They don't trust local communities to lead.

Well I do.

It's time we look for the actual waste, fraud, and abuse thats running rampant in Tallahassee.

Why do we have strict regulations for helping our citizens but not for spending tax payer money on proposals or advertisements?

When we rely on self-reported data, we're not putting our people first, we're catering to large corporations.

Orange County can do better.

Our residents are bearing the burden of a wonderfully large number of tourists, yet we cannot use TDT funds to offset those burdens.

We need reform that puts our community first, while we serve the millions of tourists who visit each year.

Our campaign is focused on housing, transit, and spending taxpayer money more efficiently.

Monday is our fundraising deadline for the quarter and we've seen great support but we need a strong showing.

Will you help us show strength with a donation?

Tourism is a powerful driver for Orange County, but when investing millions of taxpayer dollars, we must consider the real return on investment for our community.

We can't simply rely on the tourism industry’s word and assume they have our citizens' best interests at heart.

The Tourism Development Tax has the ability to drastically uplift our community for both residents and visitors.

I recently joined @cfpublicmedia.bsky.social to talk about balancing these needs and why we should support Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith's bill in the Florida Legislature.
