Concentration camp corruption.
We have incredible news! Our campaign is officially on the ballot for Florida's 5th Congressional District!
This didn’t happen because of billionaire corporate donors or party machinery. It happened because of people like you.
Our volunteer-led team collected 2,666 verified petition signatures by showing up at No Kings rallies, town halls, and community events across Duval and St. Johns counties. Your Grage-Against-the-Machine grassroots energy got us here.
We are now the first Democrat officially qualified for the August 18th primary. That’s a huge deal.
So let’s celebrate!
We’re throwing a party to celebrate ME turning another year bolder! Join us Friday, June 26th, 6:00-9:30pm — Cuba Libre, 2578 Atlantic Blvd, Jacksonville — for a birthday celebration and fundraiser!
Come celebrate my birthday, raise resources, and help us defeat John Rutherford!
Can’t make it in person? You can still be part of the momentum. Chip in $5, $25, or whatever you can today to help carry us straight through the August 18th primary and on to the general election.
Every dollar goes directly toward grassroots organizing and making sure every voter knows we will fight to lower costs for Florida families and take on the corruption of Trump and the Epstein class.
Rutherford votes for more mass deportations & corruption.Last week, moments after we announced we would join the End Corruption Caucus, our opponent, incumbent Congressman stock-trader John Rutherford, suddenly posted to Facebook that he was worried about “waste, fraud, and abuse.”
His faux concern was short-lived as he voted yesterday for $70 billion more in funding for ICE’s mass deportation campaign. [1]
Leah Greenberg, Co-Executive Director of Indivisible, summarized the 214-212 vote perfectly:
“Republicans just passed a bill handing ICE another $70 billion to separate families, kidnap innocent people off the street, occupy cities, and expand their concentration camps.”
Yesterday’s vote was a huge payday for Rutherford’s favorite for-profit private prison racket, the GEO Group. Having secured billions in ICE contracts already, these concentration camp profiteers are experts at gaming the “waste, fraud, and abuse” of Trump’s administration, as evidenced by these easily connected dots:
GEO Group contributed $1 million to a pro-Trump super PAC
GEO Group donated $500,000 to Trump’s 2025 inaugural committee
GEO Group founder George Zoley and CEO Brian Evans each contributed $11,600 to Trump’s joint fundraising committee. [2]
The GEO Group has contributed thousands to Rep. John Rutherford [3]
Any what has all this bought the GEO Group, besides billions in concentration camp contracts?
Meet David Venturella, acting ICE Director and former employee of the GEO Group. That’s right, the man who built the cages for migrants now runs the agency that puts migrants in cages. [4]
So, spare us your fake Facebook outrage Congressman.
Nothing is more wasteful, fraudulent and abusive than the ICE+GEO Group multi-billion-dollar concentration camp racket that Rutherford votes for every single time.
Voters in our district aren’t thinking in terms of red vs. blue, or left vs. right — it’s right vs. wrong.
They know Trump’s corrupt mass deportation campaign is wrong. And Rep. John Rutherford’s active and enthusiastic support for this concentration camp corruption is also wrong.
With your help, we can right these wrongs and win this race!
Voters know the Epstein class is wrong and must be defeated.
Help us do just that.
