As we enter this new year, I’m excited to announce my candidacy for Vice Chair of the Florida Democratic Party!

I’m running because I believe in our party and the shared potential to create a stronger, more unified future for Florida Democrats.

For the past six years, I’ve been honored to serve as Chair of the Duval County Democratic Party, a role that marked the beginning of transformative change in Duval County. At 27, I became the youngest County Chair in Florida and the first Black LGBTQ+ man to hold this position in our local party’s history.

But getting elected was just the beginning. Since then, I’ve worked hard to build coalitions, implement innovative strategies, and deliver real results. These efforts include delivering Duval County for President Biden and Vice President Harris for the first time in 44 years, electing Donna Deegan as Jacksonville’s first female Democratic mayor, building strong grassroots coalitions to mobilize voters, and passing a bylaws amendment that directed candidate filing fees from the FDP to DECs across the state.

If elected, I will focus on expanding our party registration, empowering county parties, developing a long-term strategic plan, strengthening field operations and GOTV efforts, and building a unified statewide infrastructure.

Leadership isn’t easy, but with the support of mentors like outgoing Vice Chair Judy Mount and Senate Democratic Leader Designate Tracie Davis, I’m ready to work with you to rebuild, expand, and win!
