Summary Statement The arts are not a luxury; they are the language we reach for when policy alone cannot capture what a community has lived through. I have seen what happens when people are given a way to express their history, their grief, and their hope instead of just their grievances.

After careful reflection and conversations with residents, community leaders, and supporters throughout Miami-Dade and Broward, I have decided to run for Congress in Florida’s 24th District. This campaign is not about rejecting the past. It is about building on the strong foundation and legacy of leadership this district deserves while bringing the urgency, energy, and fight this moment demands.
