Running for Congress in FL-20 to restore the American Dream. Organizer, history nerd, and educator. #LetsBuildTogether 🐊☀️

In South Florida, we know people who make big promises. But when the time comes to fight for us, they are nowhere to be found.
Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick promised change. But instead, we got more of the same. I’m running for Congress because FL-20 deserves better.

A year from now tonight, I will (god willing) be the congressman-elect for Florida’s 20th congressional district, and with a new Democratic House majority end the Donald Trump presidency.

I oppose the Southland rock mine project, a proposed 8,600 acres limestone mine that Big Sugar wants to put in the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA).
I urge the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and SFWMD to reject this poisonous proposal.

So Democratic Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormickis suing her 26 year old primary opponent Elijah Manley for defamation.
Just so people know, it’s nearly impossible for a politician to win a case against someone for defaming them, especially someone running against them.
This is insane.

Stories like mine are not the typical stories you hear in the halls of Congress. A little over a decade ago, my family and I were in chronic homelessness.
Now I'm running for Congress to push back against the bullshit and rigged economy that crushes the souls of working people.

They’re rigging the game mid-decade because they can’t win on their own merits, and black voters will likely be targeted the most. That’s how we do thangz down here in the South. That’s how republicans work.
