Since Trump's Iran war began, households here on the Treasure coast have shelled out an average of $594 more on fuel, per household. Our current Congressman Brian Mast, by voting to keep this conflict going, is making life more expensive for us here in Florida Congressional District 21.

St. Lucie County residents deserve answers about the unauthorized Flock cameras found on our roads. Who installed them? Who accessed the data? What safeguards were in place? Public safety matters. Privacy matters. Transparency matters. Asking these questions is accountability.

Today, new Medicaid eligibility restrictions take effect in Florida, putting coverage at risk for some residents. When people lose access to routine care, the impact can reach hospitals, nursing homes, ERs and EMS. Medicaid cuts don’t just affect patients, they affect our entire healthcare system.

Byron Donalds stood in FAMU's auditorium and told students that: 1. Many of their degrees don't matter and just take up a trade. 2. Guns are ok on campus 3. FAMU will continue to be underfunded 4. Doubled down on his DEI position 5. Stated ICE can enter campus and grab students. He is not like us

Our communities deserve leadership that listens, understands our challenges, and takes seriously the responsibility of public service. Your vote is your voice. Your participation is your power. And our future is our collective responsibility.

I encourage everyone to become informed, get involved, have conversations with their neighbors, and exercise their right to vote. Don’t allow anyone else to decide your future without making your own voice heard.

Representation should come with accountability. Our elected officials work for the people, and we have every right to expect transparency, accessibility, integrity, and a genuine commitment to serving the communities they represent.

The people we elect will make decisions that directly affect our everyday lives. That’s why it’s important to look beyond political rhetoric, examine candidates’ records, ask difficult questions, and understand where they stand on the issues that matter most to us.

To all my supporters, I know the outcome of the Primary was not what we wanted, however for the good of Florida, I asked that you support the Democratic nominee for Florida District 21, James Martin.

This upcoming election is about more than political parties, campaign slogans, or the names on a ballot. It’s about our families, our neighborhoods, our children’s education, access to affordable healthcare, economic opportunity, public safety, and the quality of life we all deserve.

Bernard Taylor @bernardtaylorforfl.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
Our Future Is on the Ballot. Our Voices Matter. As a community organizer and leader, I believe that one of the greatest responsibilities we have is to remain engaged in the decisions that shape our communities and our future.

‘Lipstick on a pig’: Black leaders in South Florida blast Amendment 3 as a harmful ‘tax shift’
‘The things that make us a special community — that’s in the general fund. That’s what they’re attacking.’

Today, Equal Ground will bring together elected officials, faith leaders, and community members for a press conference to sound the alarm on the impacts of Amendment 3 on Floridians and join the Save Our Services, No on 3 coalition. I’m thankful for the opportunity to speak at this event today.

BREAKING: 760,000 Americans affected by canceled ACA policies. As a paramedic, I know what losing coverage can mean for Treasure Coast families. We need to protect eligible patients and have a serious conversation about universal healthcare.

Firefighters, families and community members came together to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor those who answered the call and stand together 25 years later The 3.43-mile distance carries a special meaning, honoring the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

Caruso was arrested on five felony charges, for crimes against a child. These are allegations, and Caruso is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence. However, it is extremely disappointing to see that my current congressman, Brian Mast, still chose to participate in this event.

Closing “Alligator Alcatraz” is a victory for justice and the Everglades. Thank you to the Miccosukee Tribe for defending its ancestral lands, protecting our environment and standing for human dignity. We must always respect Tribal sovereignty.

Certain Floridians: “Florida is the most affordable state to live in.” The Same Floridians: “People can’t afford to live here, which is why we have to pass Amendment 3.”

Reports of an Oct. 1 nationwide trucker strike remain unconfirmed, but the crisis behind them is real. Soaring diesel prices are hurting truckers, small businesses and working families. Our leaders must act now to stabilize fuel costs and protect our supply chain.

Palm Beach County residents have every right to question how their tax dollars are invested, including more than $1 BILLION in Israel Bonds. Removing residents and arresting a speaker raises serious concerns. Public meetings should welcome accountability, not silence it.

As a healthcare worker and community leader, I’m concerned that Florida would consider lifting vaccine requirements without first researching or analyzing the potential consequences. Public health decisions should follow evidence, data, and science, not ideology. Our children aren’t experiments.

25 years later, we remember. As a firefighter and paramedic, I honor the 2,977 lives lost, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the families forever changed. Their courage, sacrifice, and service will never be forgotten. 🇺🇸

The arrest of a Fort Pierce officer accused of improperly using Flock cameras proves why I oppose mass surveillance. Public safety matters, but so does privacy. Government technology should protect our communities, not turn innocent residents into targets of constant tracking.

NYC Unseals 9/11 Files: Mayor Zohran Mamdani released more than 170,000 pages of NYC records on the government’s 9/11 response and settled two 9/11 Health Watch lawsuits, ending years of battles over post-attack air quality and health records.

Yesterday was a true testament to the community coming together for a great cause. Grateful for the chance to participate in the annual pull for autism to support the Connections School in West Palm Beach, Florida. This year I had to bright idea to try and pull the fire truck all by myself.

A great way to get involved in the process is to work the polls at your local polling location.

The deep SNAP cuts enacted last year have harmful ripple effects: Kids losing SNAP also lose automatic enrollment for free meals at school. And as more kids lose SNAP, schools may be forced to drop Community Eligibility & end free meals for all students.

I oppose massive data centers near our schools and communities. We cannot gamble with our children’s health, safety, environment, water, and quality of life to benefit corporate interests. Schools and families must come before profits. Our children are not negotiable.

Jupiter’s waterfront is not just another development opportunity. Any proposed marina or hotel at the Suni Sands property must protect our waterways, environment, historic resources, and community character. Development must work for residents, not just developers.

I’m incredibly honored and grateful to receive the 2025 Life Safety Award from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue. This recognition represents the teamwork of the incredible firefighters, paramedics, physicians, hospitals, and everyone involved in giving our patients the best possible chance at survival.

Bernard Taylor @bernardtaylorforfl.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Fort Pierce shouldn’t become another data center corridor. I oppose the proposed 174-acre data center at I-95 & Midway Rd. We need development that creates good-paying jobs, not projects that strain our power, water, infrastructure & environment while residents bear the costs.

Bernard Taylor @bernardtaylorforfl.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
Martin County is worth protecting. I support the proposed moratorium on large-scale data centers, and I believe we should go further. Our water, power, environment, infrastructure & quality of life should not be sacrificed for corporate profits. I’m against data centers in Martin County.

Another wrinkle in the grand jury findings involving the whole Florida scandal is current US Senator Ashley Moody, Angie Nixon’s opponent in the 2026 midterm election, was the Attorney General who approved taking $10 million from sick kids to fund efforts to oppose citizen led ballot initiatives.

Bernard Taylor @bernardtaylorforfl.bsky.social · 27/08/2026
Hope Florida raises serious questions about taxpayer money and political influence. A grand jury found $10M was misappropriated for political purposes. No criminal charges, but Floridians still deserve transparency, accountability & answers.

My prayers are with everyone in PSL and Stuart who were impacted by yesterday’s tornadoes. If you or someone you know suffered damage or is in need of assistance, please reach out. Whether it’s helping clean up debris, connecting residents with resources, or lending a hand, please let me know.

Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for giving me the privilege of fighting for you. And thank you for reminding me that public service is ultimately about one thing: showing up for others.

And to my family, thank you for standing beside me through this entire journey. I could not have done this without you.
