The Everglades are not a backdrop for Uthmeier's cruel political theater. This mass detention center rests on a dubious legal foundation and is a disastrous stunt that will cost taxpayers dearly.

‘Alligator Alcatraz’ is cruel political theater - costly, dangerous, and a distraction from FL’s affordability crisis. They’re misusing disaster relief, bypassing oversight, and risking lives. I’m running for Attorney General to get us back on track. Florida deserves better.

I said we’d learn over months, but it only took two days to follow the money. Three of the contractors profiting from ‘Alligator Alcatraz’, bankrolled campaigns for DeSantis and FL Republicans. This corruption has to stop, that’s why I’m running for Attorney General.

In Florida, we've already been abandoned by an AG who won’t stand up to insurance companies or special interests ripping us off - now Congressional Republicans threaten nearly 2 million Floridians with losing health care. I’m running to give families relief, not more hardship.

With great sadness I join those remembering Lenita Jacobs-Simmons. It was a privilege to learn from her while I was ETA Assistant Secretary. No one gave more to our public workforce system and those it serves, or inspired more to make a career in expanding opportunity for others.

Floridians want an Attorney General who’ll fight corruption, lower costs, and stand up for working families, and I'm proud to have their support for our campaign. As AG, I’ll hold state government and special interests accountable and protect Floridians.

It’s easy to lose count of how many times Uthmeier is losing in court - he’s too busy grandstanding for Washington instead of doing his job. Florida needs an Attorney General who puts people first and roots out corruption costing families thousands. I’m running to do that.

While Pam Bondi was AG, Epstein committed horrific crimes, and FL prosecutors failed to act. Today, Uthmeier uses the same playbook of distraction politics: chasing headlines, not protecting seniors, kids & vulnerable families. FL deserves a real AG. miamiherald.com/opinion/editor…

While Floridians are being fleeced by insurance companies and utilities, the AG is chasing vapor clouds and climate conspiracies. Uthmeier should focus on real issues, not space lasers. I’m running to focus on what really matters to Florida families. orlandosentinel.com/2025/07/14/flo…

Jeffrey Epstein's victims certainly don't think of this travesty as "boring." It destroyed their lives. Hundreds of girls -- ages 14, 15 and 16 -- were sexually abused and trafficked -- Epstein (and others) got away with it. They still want justice -- and elected leaders who take

A top aide to Ron DeSantis just admitted that the administration is breaking the law by hiding contracts connected to “Alligator Alcatraz,” the immigration detention facility it built in the middle of the Florida Everglades. 🧵...

I spoke with Jim DeFede at CBS Miami about why I’m running for Attorney General: to restore the office to what it’s meant to be: the People’s Lawyer. That means taking on corruption, tackling the affordability crisis, and standing up to powerful interests.

Most Floridians don’t realize the AG can take on insurance companies, because we haven’t seen one do it. While CEOs rake in millions, families are stuck with unaffordable premiums. As AG, I’ll investigate, sue, and hold them accountable.

A federal judge temporarily paused construction at “Alligator Alcatraz.” It’s a clear warning: the law matters - even if they’ve ignored it from day one. The cruelty continues inside. We’ll keep fighting for transparency, justice and accountability. abcnews.go.com/US/judge-tempo…

Florida’s AG should enforce the law, not flout it. The court just ordered the Everglades detention center dismantled - another defeat for the current AG, and another blow to cruelty and lawlessness.
