In Florida, we finally have an impressive progressive candidate to take back CD-25 in SE Florida. We lost CD-25, which encompasses Broward, Collier, Hendry, and Miami-Dade to republican Mario Diaz-Balart, who is one of the Republicans Debbie Wasserman-Schultz wouldn't go after when she was in charge of DCCC's Red to Blue because they were friends...that tells you all you need to know. In 2014, CD-25 went republican by just 52-48, so it is definitely winnable.
Read Dr. Valdes impressive history here. So refreshing to hear a Florida candidate who understands Florida’s vulnerability to climate change.
Dr. Valdes is part of the ‘political revolution’ that Bernie (and we!) are working to make happen. The more progressives we elect to congress, the easier our job will be.
To my Friends: After much thought, I have decided to endorse a candidate for the Democratic primary. Since I consider myself a progressive and my platforms so closely follow this candidate's, I have decided to endorse Bernie Sanders for President. For those who know me personally, I have been advocating a progressive platform since I started running for US House of Representatives FL CD 25. I have attended many events with other fellow progressives and have found my largest and most enthusiastic support from similarly minded people. We, the People need a complete overhaul in DC and this means electing more progressives to help pass the needed legislation in support of this agenda. Regardless of the primary result, my full support and vote will go towards the winner of the Democratic primary, whether it is Bernie, Hillary, or Martin. We need to keep the WH and any one of these three would be a far better choice than anything the other side has to offer. Just remember that the President will need a sympathetic Congress to pass the needed legislation for We, the People. To this end, I ask for your support. Alina
