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

My thoughts are with the people of Jamaica as they experience the landfall of category 5 Hurricane Melissa. We stand with you, and our leaders must be ready to provide all necessary relief. 🇺🇸🇯🇲

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.

Shiesty Sheila’s goal: force me to pay thousands💰to get her frivolous lawsuit thrown out.

That’s what a loser does. She will lose this lawsuit and we will crush her in the most painful way imaginable in the August Democratic Primary. Donate to our legal fund:

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.

We are a people-powered campaign with grassroots momentum. It's how we've raised half a million from 18,000 people from all walks of life. We will win this primary, and it will be because of you.

If you live in South Florida, can you add your name to my list of community endorsers? 👇🏾❤️
Endorse Elijah for FL-20!

DeSantis can keep whining like the little beta male that he is, but the VRA isn’t going anywhere. Suck it up, puddin’ cup.

In 2022, Jim Crow Ron got rid of Al Lawson’s black seat in North Florida. Now he’s thinking of doing the same thing with my district (FL-20).

Over my dead body.
DeSantis’ attack on this Florida congressional district could have sweeping implications
Gov. Ron DeSantis wants the boundaries of Florida’s 20th Congressional District changed before the 2026 elections, arguing that district’s structure is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.…

The math ain’t mathin for the republicans in the midterms, so what do they do? They have to steal seats.
August 10, 2025 at 4:18 PM
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.

My remarks at the Broward School Board today were in support of school lunch debt relief and universal school meals.

The Trump administration cut crucial programs and took food out of the mouths of children. We will find a way to ensure that no child in Broward goes hungry.

Republicans have passed the big nasty bill, slashing your Medicaid and taking healthcare away from 17M Americans, including seniors, disabled people, pregnant women, and children. Vote them out.
July 3, 2025 at 6:28 PM
Republicans voted to gut your Medicaid, and healthcare for your kids because they don’t give af about you. They only care about billionaires and their corporate donors. Tell everyone you know.
