As the 2024 election for the House of Representatives approaches, two candidates for District 19 represent starkly contrasting visions for America's future: Kari Lerner and Byron Donalds.

Kari Lerner champions a progressive platform centered on social justice, environmental sustainability, economic equality, and solutions for our communities that don’t rely on the benevolence of big business. Lerner advocates for Medicare for All and affordable care that would eliminate the stressful 'open seasons.' She supports combating climate change through transitioning to renewable energy sources and policies to create jobs. Lerner also supports raising the minimum wage and expanding affordable housing.

Byron Donalds not only opposes Medicare for All, but he also opposes the current system altogether and offers no alternative. Donalds is skeptical of environmental regulations and supports the development of fossil fuels. He believes corporations will do the 'right' thing. He supports deregulation and tax cuts for corporations to "stimulate" job creation, a strategy that has never worked and spikes the debt.

Lerner’s approach seeks to address the root causes of inequality and climate change, focusing on long-term sustainability and social welfare. So far, big corporations have been the problem in the long-term care crisis, not the solution that Byron Donalds claims they are.

This election will be pivotal in determining the direction of the nation and the values that will shape its future. Vote for Kari Lerner for Florida District 19 to make our communities the best they can be.
