My story is the American story.
I know what it means to fight for opportunity because I’ve lived it.
How it all started
I was born in Brooklyn, raised in Queens, and found my home in South Florida. I am the proud daughter of Haitian immigrants who came to America seeking freedom and a better future for their children. My mother worked as a maid. My father drove a taxi. They taught me that success isn’t measured by where you begin—it’s measured by how hard you’re willing to work and how many people you lift along the way.
Their sacrifices became my purpose.
Before I ever served in Congress, I spent more than two decades working to expand healthcare access, create jobs, and strengthen communities. As the CEO of a healthcare company, I helped deliver care to families who too often fell through the cracks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, our team helped vaccinate hundreds of thousands of people, created more than a thousand jobs, and ensured communities that were often overlooked received lifesaving resources when they needed them most.
Service has always come before politics.
Long before I became a Member of Congress, I was advocating in Washington for better healthcare, greater economic opportunity, and policies that put working families first. But after years of watching communities wait while politicians debated, I realized our district didn’t need another politician—it needed someone willing to deliver results.
That’s why I ran for Congress.
As your Congresswoman, I worked every day to bring federal resources back home to South Florida. Together, we secured hundreds of millions of dollars for affordable housing, transportation, healthcare, public safety, small businesses, ports, and community development. I fought to protect Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, voting rights, and expand opportunities for families, seniors, veterans, and the Caribbean-American community.
I didn’t go to Washington to make headlines. I went there to make a difference.
My commitment to this community has never been defined by a title. It has been defined by service.
Like many families in District 20, I understand what it means to overcome obstacles. I’ve experienced setbacks, faced adversity, and learned that leadership isn’t about avoiding difficult moments; it’s about continuing to show up for the people who depend on you. My faith has carried me through every chapter of my life and continues to guide my commitment to serve with humility, courage, and determination.
Today, our district faces rising housing costs, economic uncertainty, attacks on voting rights, threats to healthcare, and growing challenges facing immigrant families and seniors. These aren’t political talking points—they’re the realities our neighbors live every day.
That’s why I’m running.
I believe every family deserves the opportunity to own a home, afford quality healthcare, earn a good-paying job, retire with dignity, and know their children will have greater opportunities than they did. I believe government should deliver results, not excuses.
My story is the American story.
It’s the story of immigrants who believed in this country.
It’s the story of parents who sacrificed so their children could dream bigger.
It’s the story of a community that never gave up on itself.
And it’s the story I’m still writing, with you.
I’m asking for your support because the work isn’t finished. Together, we can continue building a stronger, safer, healthier, and more prosperous Florida’s 20th Congressional District.
I’m ready to keep fighting for you. Let’s finish what we started, together.
