@floricuas Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, the Democratic Congresswoman who served Florida’s 26th congressional district from 2019 to 2021, told Floricua she has seen how the Republican-majority state government’s quest for “power and self-enrichment” has negatively impacted the lives of millions of Floridians across the state. Politicians that accept donations from lobbyists and private interests often legislate against the public’s best interest, she says. This directly affects hardworking and working-class families who often have to choose between paying rent or putting food on the table. Now running to defeat Republican Senator Rick Scott in November, Mucarsel-Powell urges Floridians to help elect people that will put serving the public above self-gain. “We need to go back to a clean government,” says Mucarsel-Powell. “That’s what I’m bringing to the table.” 🖊️: @gcbalido 📸: N/A
