Miami-Dade County's urban development boundary has served as a line to protect fragile ecosystems, farmland and water outside of Miami-Dade County's urban core. Simultaneously, it has served as a catalyst to spur smart growth, smart development, better mass transit, and more investment in jobs and affordable housing in Miami's urban core.

It's time to check that your voter registration is up-to-date. And it's really easy to do (and only takes 1 minute⏱):

On September 2, Florida's largest electric utility monopolies, FPL, Duke Energy and Tampa Electric, filed petitions with the Florida Public Service Commission to increase electric rates in 2023. If the Public Service Commission approves these rates, your electric bill could go up — in some cases by as much as 15% per month.

If the Florida Public Service Commission approves the request from Florida’s largest utilities, your monthly electric bill could be going up by as much as 15%.

Outrageously high power bills in 2022 are explained by years of political interference from FPL, Florida's largest electricity monopoly.

In 2022, I shot interviews with several individuals who had experienced unfair treatment in the courtroom of Judge Andrea Gundersen.

I edited these interviews into a short video, which was sent to voters via text message and digital ads leading up to the judicial election in August 2022.

On Friday, June 24, Governor Ron DeSantis vetoed SB 620, formally named the Local Business Protection Act, but which critics dubbed the “Ending Local Freedoms Act.”

In 2022, as Communications Director of Floridians for Honest Lending, I helped organize several press conferences with elected officials to publicize available relief funds for homeowners struggling to pay their mortgages from the American Rescue Plan. These press conferences achieved thousands of dollars in earned media.

🚨 BREAKING: SB 620, the Puppy Mill Loophole Law, has now been sent to Governor Ron DeSantis. He has vetoed bad bills before, and he has the chance to veto this cruel bill. New reports suggest Gov. DeSantis was concerned that this bill would give the owners of puppy mills almost unlimited power to operate anywhere in Florida. Now he must decide whether to veto this cruel bill. Add your name and tell Gov. DeSantis: No more puppy mills! Veto SB 620. #NoPuppyMills #Veto620

Can you write an email to Gov. DeSantis to veto this cruel new law? Gov. DeSantis has stood up to his own legislature and vetoed bad bills this year, and he is seriously considering a veto on this one. He needs to hear from all of us now.

Thanks to you, we delivered a petition with over 1,300 signatures to Governor DeSantis asking him to veto SB 620, the Puppy Mill Law.

This morning, Floridians For Honest Lending released a series of videos with our partners at FAIR, the Federal Association For Insurance Reform, to educate the public about the property insurance crisis and to call for a consumer-focused approach to stabilizing the property insurance market in Florida.

I wrote this press release as communications director for Floridians for Honest Lending. It urged a consumer-focused approach to property insurance relief and promoted a series of videos we produced with FAIR. It resulted in an article in Florida Politics entitled: "Consumer advocates push accountability for bad actors, assistance for homeowners ahead of Special Session"

Today, as the Florida Legislature is set to meet this week for a special session regarding property insurance, the consumer lending watchdog group Floridians For Honest Lending and the insurance reform group Federal Association For Insurance Reform (FAIR) released an educational video about short-term and long-term solutions to fix Florida’s broken property insurance market. The video is part of a series about the increased risk of foreclosures if the Legislature fails to provide stability to Florida’s property insurance marketplace.

Rep. Joy Goff-Marcil argues in this opinion piece that if DeSantis can figure out how to send out more than $600 million in corporate welfare in a timely manner, then he should be able to figure out how to distribute the same amount in federal aid to real people in this state who actually need help.

In spring 2022, I helped organize a series of press events to publicize relief funds available to Florida homeowners through the American Rescue Plan.

One of these events was a press conference on May 9, 2022, with Congresswoman Lois Frankel and local state leaders and constituents in West Palm Beach. The earned media through local TV coverage was over $79,000 according to Critical Mention.

News: Last week on April 25, Governor DeSantis signed SB 524, the Anti-Voter Freedom Act. What does this mean for Florida voters who believe in improving voting access to working Floridians?

MIAMI- Financial institutions tapped the brakes on foreclosures in 2020 and most of 2021, as a federal moratorium gave the millions of homeowners who lost a job due to Covid-19 some financial breathing room. Many took the route of pursuing loan modifications, in a process that was abused by some banks even during the worst of the crisis.

Are you — or someone you know — looking to file a loan modification, but are concerned the bank is taking advantage of you? We’re here to help!
