In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“We need a congressperson who is focused on the issue of affordability, who is looking to send federal funds here for affordable housing, low-cost housing, workforce housing… come up with creative solutions to the affordability crisis,”
“I believe that we are in a critical, existential moment in this country where if you have a voice, now is not the time to be on the sidelines,”
“For too many families, our community has simply become too expensive to live in”
“I think that Republicans and independents will trust me, and you know why? — because they've known me, they've known me for decades, before they had any clue what my political affiliation is,”
“I'm running because families in Miami can't afford to live here anymore, because our democracy is under real stress, and because the politics of cruelty toward immigrants is not who we are. I've spent forty years telling South Florida's story. Now I want to fight for it.”
