Winning an election isn’t about speaking to just one group, it’s about building a coalition of people who believe we can create a better future together.

I’m incredibly honored to have earned the support of organizations representing Floridians from many different backgrounds and communities. Our campaign has been endorsed by the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida, the LGBTQ+ Democratic Caucus of Florida, the Florida High School Democrats, the Palm Beach County Democratic Black Caucus of Florida, Florida Rising, the Democratic Environmental Caucus of Florida, and the Palm Beach Human Rights Council, just to name a few.

These endorsements represent more than support for a candidate. They represent a shared commitment to affordable healthcare, protecting our environment, defending civil rights, strengthening public education, expanding economic opportunity, and building a government that works for everyone.

That’s how you win, not by dividing people, but by bringing them together around common values and a vision for the future.

This campaign belongs to everyone who believes that working families deserve a voice in Washington. Together, we’re building the coalition that can deliver real change for Florida’s 21st Congressional District.

Let’s keep growing this movement. Volunteer. Donate. Share our message. Most importantly, vote in the Florida Primary Elections on Tuesday August 18th, 2026.

I took an oath as a Firefighter to protect my community and preserve life and property. That mindset is what I believe makes me the right person to represent my community and be sure that everyone has the ability to live and have the necessary opportunities to have the best quality of life possible.

It’s hard to find the right words to express how I’m feeling about the passing of my good friend and fellow firefighter, Austin Hodge. I didn’t want to rush to make a post because, honestly, I needed time to collect my thoughts and process the fact that he’s really gone.

Austin and I go way back. We first crossed paths working at the Boys & Girls Club when I was a senior in high school and he was just a freshman. Who would’ve thought that all these years later, we’d both find ourselves serving our communities in the fire service? From those early days at the Boys & Girls Club to becoming brothers in the fire service, it’s been incredible watching the young man I knew grow into the man and firefighter he became.

One of the things that makes this even harder to process is knowing that Austin had already experienced the unimaginable pain of losing his brother. And now, here we are, having to say goodbye to him too. Life can be so incredibly unfair, and moments like this remind us just how precious and fragile it truly is.

If you knew Austin, you knew his ENERGY. That positive energy, that smile, and the way he carried himself are things I will NEVER, EVER forget. Some people have a way of making the world around them a little brighter just by being in it, and Austin was one of those people.

As a firefighter, you understand the risks that come with this profession. But nothing truly prepares you for losing one of your own, especially someone you’ve known since you were kids.

My heart goes out to Austin’s family, his friends, his brothers and sisters at St. Lucie County Fire District, and everyone whose life he touched.

While my heart is heavy, I find some comfort in believing that Austin is finally reunited with his brother. Two brothers together again.

Rest easy, my brother. Thank you for the memories, the friendship, the laughs, and the positive energy you brought into this world.

From the Boys & Girls Club to the firehouse, I’ll always be grateful our paths crossed.

I’ll never forget you, Austin Hodge. Until we meet again, brother.

This is an URGENT call to talk about how we win. We are so close and there is only way we make it happen when we’re being outspent 4:1 and we’re facing billionaire dollars pushing out attack ads left and right: people power. But we’ve got a winning strategy but it only works if we enact it right now and it’s going to take very single one of us.

Come tonight - bring someone you know who should get involved, and let’s go win this election for the people of Florida!
