In this moment in time, we have to decide what type of people do we want to represent us. My remarks in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida.

Lately, I’ll be honest, I was feeling discouraged. Running for Congress isn’t easy. There are long days, difficult conversations, fundraising challenges, and moments when you question whether you’re making enough progress. Recently, I found myself struggling with motivation. Then I visited the National Civil Rights Museum at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee, the very place where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spent the final moments of his life. Walking through those halls, reading the stories, and standing where so much history unfolded put everything into perspective. Dr. King and countless others faced obstacles far greater than political campaigns. They endured threats, violence, arrests, and unimaginable resistance while fighting for justice, equality, and the promise of a better America. I left that museum reminded that progress has never come from people who quit when things got difficult. As I continue my campaign for Congress, I’m more motivated than ever to fight for the people of Florida’s Congressional District 21. We deserve leadership that will address overdevelopment, protect our environment, improve infrastructure, lower costs for working families, and ensure every voice is heard. This journey is bigger than any one person. It’s about continuing the work of those who sacrificed so much to expand opportunity and strengthen our democracy. The visit to the Lorraine Motel didn’t just inspire me, it reignited my purpose. We’re going to keep pushing forward. We’re going to keep organizing. And we’re going to fight for the future our communities deserve.

On June 13, 1967, Lyndon B. Johnson nominated Thurgood Marshall to serve on the U.S. #SupremeCourt, making him the first #BlackAmerican ever nominated to the nation’s highest court. Before joining the Court, Marshall was already a pivotal figure in the civil rights movement. As chief counsel for the #NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, he successfully argued numerous cases before the Supreme Court, most famously Brown v. Board of Education, which led to the end of legally mandated racial segregation in public schools. The U.S. #Senate confirmed Marshall on August 30, 1967, and he served as an Associate Justice from 1967 until 1991. His appointment is widely regarded as a landmark moment in American legal and #civilrights #history.

In Florida, we need to fully fund public education by ending the diversion of public dollars into private voucher schemes. I will fight to increase Title I funding and invest where the need is greatest. #AngieForFL

On this day in 1963, the Ku Klux Klan assassinated Medgar Evers outside of his home in Mississippi. He had been the NAACP Mississippi Field Secretary who organized voter registration drives, investigated racist murders, and helped challenge school segregation.

Tell your children about Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to integrate an all-white public elementary school in Louisiana. She turned 71 last year-she's only 71.

Leaked audio of Mike Johnson discussing cuts to Social Security and Medicare should concern every family on the Treasure Coast. As a firefighter and paramedic, I’ve seen how vital these programs are. We should strengthen them, not cut them. My solutions include: - Protecting earned Social Security benefits for current and future retirees. - Preventing Medicare cuts that would reduce access to doctors, hospitals, and prescription medications. - Eliminating the Social Security payroll tax cap so millionaires and billionaires pay the same rate as working families. - Cracking down on waste, fraud, and abuse without reducing benefits. - Lowering prescription drug costs to help keep Medicare financially strong for generations. Social Security and Medicare are promises made to the American people after a lifetime of work. Those promises should be honored.

Demand accountability: why we need public servants, and not power seekers.

Raphael, You let another grown man call your wife ugly, and then turned around and have been kissing his ass ever since. Safe to say you’re not the authority on masculinity.

Ted Cruz on Talarico: If you were making a list of the thousand adjectives to describe this guy, masculine would not be one of them. If a stiff breeze came by, it would blow him over like a feather.

Fort Pierce residents should ask a simple question: who gains power and who loses it? Changes to our election system must not dilute the voices of historically underrepresented communities. Representation matters, and every neighborhood deserves a seat at the table.

Attention all parents on the Treasure Coast. I know school has just ended, but we’re already preparing for next school year. On August 1, 2026, we will be having a back-to-school event where we will be giving away backpacks and school supplies for kids here in the area.

I didn’t think this would be the path that I would be on, however I believe I was placed on this journey to make a difference. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will guide your path.” -Proverbs 3:5-6
