I am a dad, an advocate, a writer, and a gig worker. Throughout my career I have worked to help those in need find housing, navigate the criminal justice system, find nutritious food and healthcare. I have spent my free time writing about politics, and voter education, co-founding Florida For Change in order to help elect progressives in the state of Florida. I am the second of four kids, and as a proud middle child I have 34 years of experience learning how to negotiate and lead. Slightly less experience time wise, I also have 20 years of experience canvassing and sharing information about the Democratic party. I believe that corruption has seeped into every aspect of government and we need to clean up our House. I will not be accepting money from corporations, or Super PACS - with one exception, if AIPAC looks at my policies and still wants to send me money, I will happily spend it on the largest Palestinian flag I can find in Maryland.
  • The United States government is unstable and on the brink of collapse, we must make major government reforms to stabilize the government. Some major issues are Climate change, corruption, and an abuse of agencies like ICE.
  • The United States is currently unaffordable, but with a few quick changes this does not have to be the case. Housing is the most pressing issue, but childcare and education are also huge expenses. Day to day expenses like high interest rates and towing add up as well.
  • The United States imperialism is destructive to the world and now that it is being turned inward towards us we cannot allow It to go unchecked. Supporting a genocide in Gaza, ignoring another one in Sudan, kidnapping Venezuela's president, bombing Iran... This was all within the last year. We are still using the War on drugs as an excuse to kill people, so why not end it?
I believe in a Housing bill of rights, Medicare for all, A green New Deal, Stopping the genocide in Gaza, and an anti corruption bill are the most pressing issues. My daughter also lobbies me daily to try to lower the voting age to 10, I want to listen to all my constituents so my compromise is 16.

A few smaller accomplished yet and are less talked about are:
Towing reform- I know, it seems small. But it's a property rights case nightmare, and very expensive.

Contract reform - Shouldn't car insurance pay you if someone hits your car? Why is it such a fight? Why did Taylor Swift have to rerecord songs we all know she wrote, and sung? Why do we let companies hand out NDA's that never expire like they are candy?
