Jonathan Flores for Florida House 102: Time for a #FreeFlorida

We have a government that does not represent our people. We have a state that does not provide enough to build a better future. We have laws that target communities of color and low-income communities. We are left without progressive enough candidates that are okay with playing the political game.

My name is Jonathan Flores and those are a few of the many things I want to change with your help. I'm running for the Florida House of Representative District 102 seat. Although this district represents areas of Miami Gardens, Miramar, and Pembroke Pines- I am here to represent the people of a soon to be #FreeFlorida.

Ever since I was little I had an urge to give back. It followed me all throughout life. From joining the military to being a high school teacher, from doing three AmeriCorps programs to being a grassroots organizer. This is my passion. And as every day passes, I learn more about the issues our communities face and the disservice that our government provides. I will dedicate my life to change that for you, your family, your community, our state- and we'll do it together. The people are power.

I will bring purpose back to politics and government. I will be unconventional in my ways because we are stuck in our traditions. I will focus on grassroots movement because it should not be from the top-down or influenced by corporations. I will use my skills, the stories of community members I've met, my experience from different government and community organizations, and our belief and need for basic freedoms to start turning Florida into a state that is free from poverty, violence, environmental destruction, dysfunctional democracy, and other freedoms that will make us the standard for the rest of the state and the rest of the country.
