Chris is a working-class guy tired of seeing elites destroying our state. He grew up in Southwest Florida and he works here and takes care of his mom and brother— and he works hard in the searing heat, during his day job driving trucks. He also works nights as a standup comedian. Chris is a real Florida Man.
But, Chris Proia is more than just a truck driver and funny guy; he is a beacon of hope and resilience. Balancing the responsibilities of taking care of his disabled mother alongside his younger, adult brother, Chris embodies the spirit of a working man who understands the struggles of earning a living in a red city, county, and state. Despite these challenges, Chris has stepped up to run for FL Senate District 33 in Lee County, demonstrating his unwavering commitment to making a difference.
Chris's journey is a testament to the power of ordinary citizens rising to meet extraordinary challenges. He stands as a symbol of perseverance, showing that even in the face of adversity, one can strive for positive change.
His campaign isn't just about one man; it represents the hopes and dreams of countless individuals who yearn for a brighter future as he and his partner, Danika Fornear (Democrat for FL House District 83 —Daiky KOS: @DanikaFornear) and over 20 other dedicated candidates.
All of this monumental effort, getting its start through a company called Southwest Strategies (run by Danika Fornear and her dear friend Cindy Banyai - the founder): who have together identified and worked with these candidates for seats on the school board and city council to the House of Representatives and Senate. Together, they are working tirelessly to flip Florida blue this year.
This collective movement is more than a political campaign; it is a call to action for all those who believe in the power of unity, community, and progress.
With Southwest Strategies leading the charge, and a diverse group of passionate candidates at his side, there is a renewed sense of hope and possibility. Their commitment to public service and dedication to the community are paving the way for a more inclusive, equitable, and just future. This is not just about winning an election; it’s about igniting a movement that inspires others to believe in the power of their voices and the strength of their convictions while we work together, supporting each other.
Together, we can turn the tide and create a lasting impact. Let’s rally behind Chris Proia and all the courageous candidates working to bring positive change to Lee County. Our collective efforts can and will make a difference. Make history with us!
