I am running for Senate because I am committed to serving Floridians with the same passion and resolve I brought to my military service. Together, we can build a brighter future by fostering unity, driving innovation, and ensuring every voice is heard. But I cannot do this alone. To officially register as a candidate, I need your help. Your support will not only get us on the ballot but will also amplify the voices of everyday Floridians who seek a leader with firsthand experience in perseverance, sacrifice, and action.

Following the events of 9/11, I answered the call to serve by enlisting in the U.S. Army as an All-Source Military Intelligence Analyst. Over the course of 17 years, my military service instilled in me the values of integrity, leadership, and commitment. These qualities, combined with my professional and post-military experience, make me uniquely qualified to represent Floridians and champion our state’s interests on the national stage.

After my military service, I continued my commitment to leadership and community. I served as Vice President of the Puerto Rican Hispanic Chamber of Commerce in Polk County, advocating for small businesses and promoting economic growth. As a member of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), I worked to advance civil rights and equality for all. I also volunteered with Wolf PAC, a non-partisan organization with the goal of eliminating dark money in politics, and served on the Hispanic Advisory Board and Veterans Advisory Board in Lakeland, FL.

As a former small business owner, I understand the challenges entrepreneurs face daily. I have also worked in local government, on national defense contracts, and with the Department of Defense (DOD), gaining firsthand insight into the complexities of governance and national security.

I am running as a democrat because I believe this reflects Florida's values of service, opportunity, and growth. However, my approach transcends partisanship. I am committed to finding solutions based on the merit of policies, regardless of political affiliation. My focus is on bridging divides and doing what is best for the people of Florida.
