While on the trail I’d often invoke lessons learned from my mother & mantras instilled in me by my grandmother. These were the women who helped to shape me into the man I am today.

Equally important in my life has been my baby sister, Monique Gillum. #WomensHistoryMonth Image Monique has inspired everyone she's met with her determination and grace. While the road has not been easy, Monique has dedicated her life towards advocacy and service working at orgs like the Southern Poverty Law Center and now an attorney for the ACLU.

The attempted Coup on America today was an INSIDE JOB. An act of sedition inspired and encouraged by the sitting President of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump. But Trump did not act alone. I fear that todays attack may have been aided by sitting Republican lawmakers, supported with intelligence (including maps, soft targets, and Capitol Hill security intel) supplied by federal employees acting as partisans through their involvement.

Our democracy is only as good as the integrity of our system.

In 2018, about 8.2 million people cast their vote — almost 2 million more than projected. Turnout among active and inactive voters increased across the board. But Florida also revealed the inequities that still exist. 2.6+ million people voted by mail.

The statewide average of rejected VBM ballots in 2018 was 1.2%, higher than the 2012 or 2016 presidential elections. In Broward County, it was 2.8% —and even higher among voters between the ages of 18-21.
