I’m running to represent Florida House District 42, and I’m building this campaign one conversation, one neighbor, and one door at a time.
Let’s keep building a Florida where everyone can thrive together. #TeamFelipe #ThrivingTogether #FloridaPolitics
I’m honored to have the endorsement of State Senator LaVon Bracy Davis.
Senator Bracy Davis has been a strong voice for Central Florida families in Tallahassee. She fights for our communities every day, and I’m proud to have her support in this campaign.
I’m ready to join her in the Capitol and keep up that fight.
My opponent wants to fear monger and distract from the issues that truly matter.
Unfortunately for her, I’m not here to do anything except talk about how I’m going to make life better for working families.
The affordability crisis is making it harder than ever to get around, especially to and from work.
I’m committed to making sure that public transit is a safe, affordable, and efficient option for working families.
Gutting our municipal services like emergency service, senior support, and after school programs won’t solve the affordability crisis.
We need to focus on real property insurance reform that protects taxpayers instead of CEO’s getting a bailout, while we get a bill.

Michigan has made lifesaving gun safety progress in recent years, but there is still much more to do.
With these leaders in Lansing, we will have champions working to pass the commonsense gun laws needed to save more lives. I’m proud to endorse their campaigns.
Every day, too many families across the Great Lake State continue to deal with the pain of losing loved ones to senseless gun violence. We must do more to keep Michigan communities safe.
We’re proud to endorse these leaders who have proven they have what it takes to stand up to the gun lobby, help take back the state legislature, and end this epidemic.
So proud to have earned @GIFFORDS_org and Congresswoman Gabby Giffords’ endorsement.
Survivors, parents, and advocates have fought tirelessly to improve Florida’s gun safety laws in the years since the shootings in Parkland and at Pulse Nightclub. Despite the clear, lifesaving impact, Republican leaders are now putting many of these gains in jeopardy.
This November, voters must elect gun safety champions who will hold the line and fight for public safety. We’re proud to endorse these candidates in their critical campaigns.
Join us to meet voters and help elect our next U.S. Senator from Florida!

Florida has adjusted its vendor contracts for Alligator Alcatraz by hundreds of millions of dollars since closing the site.
FDEM is now asking the state leg for an extra $188M for the emergency fund paying for these contracts to cover “pending invoices”
🚨 NEW: Since Alligator Alcatraz closed, FL committed almost half a billion more $$ toward immigration enforcement, promising at least $1.4 billion in disaster funds
Almost none of these contract updates were posted online

Hope Florida verdict.
This is white-collar "justice" in Florida in a nutshell.
"Despite our finding that the money was misappropriated, we find insufficient evidence to charge anyone criminally. Nobody will take responsibility … or had any memory of who made it."
EXCLUSIVE by Jim @DeFede: A state grand jury found $10 million in taxpayer money was “misappropriated” to Hope Florida and ultimately used for political purposes. Read the full story - cbsloc.al/3SugqVM
A FL grand jury found Uthmeier and Moody’s fingerprints all over $10M in taxpayer money meant for poor kids, diverted to PACs to kill marijuana legalization and fund the GOP. Neither will answer for it. Both are on your November ballot. cbsnews.com/miami/news/grand…

Devastated by today’s Supreme Court rulings targeting Haitian TPS holders and asylum seekers. I stand with the Haitian community and all immigrant families fighting for safety, dignity, and the chance to build a future.
