I’m running to represent Florida House District 42, and I’m building this campaign one conversation, one neighbor, and one door at a time.
Let’s keep building a Florida where everyone can thrive together. #TeamFelipe #ThrivingTogether #FloridaPolitics
This is OUR moment! We won with nearly 63% of the vote! District 42, I’ll work every day to make you proud. Thank you for believing that someone from humble beginnings can rise to serve our community in Tallahassee. Here’s my victory speech! #TeamFelipe #ThrivingTogether

Congrats to @FelipeForFL on being elected as Florida State Rep., District 42! Felipe is the first former Dreamer, first Brazilian-American and first out LGBTQIA+ immigrant to become a Florida state legislator.
There are no words to communicate the honor and gratitude I feel tonight.
My story is the American Dream - I came here undocumented, with nothing to my name, and now, I will have the incredible privilege to fight for my friends and neighbors as an elected leader. I know that together, we can build a state where each of us has the opportunity to thrive.
Thank you for trusting me to serve as your representative.
Happy Election Day! Please make sure your voice is heard today.
This is our moment. From every family feeling squeezed out, to every neighbor trying to make ends meet. Floridians are standing up to demand better. Don’t miss your opportunity to help build a brighter Florida. Vote today before 7pm!
1,425 verified petitions. No qualifying fee. No shortcuts, just hard work. 42,000 doors knocked since the start of our campaign and 20,000 GOTV calls last weekend. I’m so proud of what we’ve built together. District 42, I hope to earn your trust and your vote tomorrow! #TeamFelipe #ThrivingTogether

Good AM from Florida where our Democratic candidates are amazing, Dems now have an 11% statewide turnout lead, and we have a REAL chance to elect @davidjollyfl Governor, @AngieNixon to the U.S. Senate if we VOTE. 🗳️
With in-person early vote finished, Democrats hold an absolutely stunning 11% turnout lead!
This has led the Republican registration lead (11%) shrink to a 2.5% lead in votes cast. This is far from where the GOP was in 2024
The big question looms... Election Day #flapol
My opponent says she’s not about culture wars, yet launches another desperate culture war attack. Maybe because she has no real plan to lower rent or insurance, improve schools, or expand healthcare. Attacks divide us. We’re neighbors. We deserve solutions, not distractions. orlandosentinel.com/2026/10/… #TeamFelipe #ThrivingTogether

Folks we appreciate the interest in this article but the whole point is that this is exactly 1 from among 40,000 simulations! Some of the races are randomly-chosen upsets and they don’t reflect any personal vibes-based beliefs from me about which upsets are more likely.
I’m so proud to be one of the Brazilian-Americans running for office in the United States. I come from a humble family. My mom was a domestic worker, and I came to this country with nothing but dreams. Today, I’m running to give back and fight for the community I love so much. g1.globo.com/google/amp/mund…
Nothings stopping us from voting, especially not when @AngieNixon is in the house. Early voting runs through Sunday Nov 1st, don’t wait yall! Go vote before Election Day on Nov 3rd!!

My heart is full of gratitude for everyone who has given their time, talent, and treasure to this movement. 1,425 petitions. 40,000+ doors. No shortcuts. Just people showing up for each other. This is what grassroots looks like. floridapolitics.com/archives…
I met Dolores Huerta as a young DREAM Act organizer. Her courage and fight for working families paved the way for people like me to dream of running for office. Her legacy lives on in every generation that keeps fighting. ¡Sí se puede! ❤️

40,000 DOORS KNOCKED!
Thousands of conversations, countless stories, and one shared dream: building a Florida where everyone can thrive, not just survive.
Every door matters. Every conversation matters. Every vote matters.
We're giving this campaign everything we've got, and we're not slowing down!
This is OUR moment!
