Yesterday, I was honored to be elected Vice Chair of City Council for 2026. I was also appointed to serve on the PSTA board (our local transit authority) which I may be even more excited about! I'm looking forward to working hard for our city's residents this year!

Stood in solidarity with @teamsters.bsky.social local 79 yesterday & other Pinellas DSA members at the Amazon picket. It's time for Amazon to get its ass to the bargaining table!
