To Rene, Attalai and Madeline, thank you for your love and sharing my time with the voters of HD 35. 💙
I am grateful to my supporters who turned out in this election, who believed in our vision, and trusted me to be a true champion for our values in the state House.
While we fell short of the votes needed to win, I truly appreciate the time I spent on the campaign trail connecting with the people of House District 35 and hearing their concerns, hopes, and dreams.
We ran a positive campaign amplifying our shared vision for the state. I remain committed to advancing Democratic causes and values and addressing inequities in Central Florida. Before running for office, I was committed to our community and advocacy. That commitment doesn't end.
I want to thank my organizational supporters: the Florida Leadership Council, Ruth's List Florida, EMILYs List, Latino Victory, and Mi Vecino, along with the Orlando Sentinel for their endorsement.
I’m incredibly honored to have so many current and former state legislators and other local elected officials endorse my campaign — I could not have done this without all of your time and support. You're still stuck with me walking the halls in Tallahassee! We have work to do.
Angie, Dylan, Cassidy, Jon, Scott, Tova, Aaron, Bobby, and Chris... THANK YOU! Your guidance is valued and appreciated. You took a first-time candidate and made the process look effortless. The blood, sweat and tears are real!
Although we didn't get the results we worked hard for, we will continue fighting for a Florida where families are loved and respected and businesses can thrive. This is just the beginning of this journey.
Together, we will make a difference! 💙
