We’re not slowing down at #TeamAnna! We didn’t have a publicly facing canvass this weekend but we’re still knocking on doors this morning and earlier this week we hosted a virtual phone bank to help renew vote-by-mail ballots! Here are ways you can join us in action ⬇️

If you’re wondering how much public money the state is spending to staff this immigrant detention center in the middle of the Everglades, look no further as we have the contract for CRS (Critical Response Strategy). They are the ones “managing” the facility.

Nothing to see here folks — just $11,000,000 being spent of YOUR taxpayer money to build a NEW ROAD in the middle of the EVERGLADES for this detention center currently caging hundreds of immigrants with NO criminal charge. I refuse to normalize this dangerous grift.

“Hundreds of immigrants with no criminal charges in the United States have ended up at Alligator Alcatraz, a detention facility that state and federal officials have characterized as a place where “vicious” and “deranged psychopaths” are sent before they get deported…”

We are on our way to the Everglades immigration detention center built by your tax dollars and without any transparency. As state lawmakers, we have both the right and the responsibility to conduct oversight and we will be demanding full access.

Back in Tallahassee for about four hours. Today the Florida House will be extending Legislative Session till June 30th; this is due to the fact that we still don’t have a state budget and there are major disagreements between both chambers and the Governor on what tax relief should be pursued.

NEW: The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit has ruled that Florida’s 2023 restriction on drag shows is likely unconstitutional, and thus the lower court’s injunction against the law’s enforcement remains.
