Some of the people in my district I speak to, their insurance bills have gone from $450 to over $1,200 a month.
So this is a congresswoman that has repeatedly failed.
The difference now from previously is that people have caught on to this.
I go into a lot of spaces with people who voted Trump three times, Salazar multiple times, and they talk about how they're fed up with her.
She's never in the community.
She's focused on political theater, not the real problems in our community.
And the fact is, her only real solution to this problem, you mentioned the Dignity Act, it's not a pathway to any kind of citizenship.
There is no pathway to citizenship in that law.
It's a penalty box.
It requires immigrants who come here to pay additional fees.
It is one that makes sure that we have a second class of citizen here in the United States, something that is completely against the entire concept of the American dream.
And she is someone that has failed this community of return.
And that's a big reason why I'm running.
So the Haitians only recently got restored.
We have a huge Haitian community down here in South Florida.
So pardon the interruption, but this is something that it's not just Venezuelan community, it's not just the Nicaraguan and the Cuban community, but the Haitian community.
The city is one,
It's built by immigrants.
It's one that when you come here, you could tell that Spanish in many ways is the first language.
And so, you know, this is a congresswoman that never shows up in the community, has never hosted a single public town hall her entire time in office.
