From the Candidates

“Running for office isn't about you - it's about everyone else and even though the focus is on us as candidates and our campaigns, we are the ones asking for help and it isn't involuntary. If you are running for office do not be afraid to ask for help and be grateful for what you get... I am grateful for the FDP's support I could not have made it this far without y'all and I'm excited to see what comes next as we continue to build back and take back Florida.” - State Legislature Candidate, 2024
