My mother worked double shifts as a home health care provider and at night, she took classes to learn English. When I was 15, I started picking up shifts at the local doughnut shop to help us make ends meet.  My mother’s hard work, incredible sacrifices, and relentlessly fierce hope made it possible for me to graduate college and become the first South American immigrant to serve in Congress. She taught me that a better education, a better home, and a better future is always possible if we never give up. This is the promise of America.  And that’s why I’m running for Senate. Because Florida deserves better, and we’ve got to fight for it.  Right now, our state is being pushed backward by far-right extremists like my opponent, Sen. Rick Scott. He’s targeting the most vulnerable amongst us, dividing our communities, and threatening the American dream. It’s no wonder why a mere 40% of Floridians view him favorably.  With experts saying Rick Scott is one of the most vulnerable senators up for reelection in 2024, I know that we can defeat him and restore the promise of America — but not without all hands on deck.  [So please, will you join the fight for a better future by splitting a donation of $10 between Blue Amp Action and my campaign? If we win in Florida, Democrats are virtually guaranteed to defend our Senate majority.]( [DONATE NOW]( Thank you for joining me in this fight. I’m so grateful to have you by my side.

Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t. When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families. Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we. So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia. Thank you for your support for all we do!
