Wife, mama, sister, friend, suburban woman fighting for democracy. NOT a national security/geopolitical expert but I have a guy for that.

I'm a combat veteran who proudly served our country in the U.S. Army for 21 years — not a career politician like my opponent. While Ashley Moody is up in Washington selling out to big corporations, I'm at home fighting for you, for Florida.

Thank you to Hispanic leaders who joined us at @macondocoffee in Doral. Over cafecito, empanadas, and tequeños, we discussed their concerns and priorities at a difficult moment for Florida and our country. Leadership starts with listening - and delivering for all Floridians.

Democratic National Committee Veterans & Military Families Council
Statement on U.S. Military Action Against Iran

February 28th, 2026


The leadership of the Democratic National Committee Veterans & Military Families Council issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s military attack on Iran:

We, the members of the Veterans & Military Families Council, speak with deep concern and clarity about what military escalation truly means.
Among us are those who have deployed to war and those who have waited at home as military spouses and family members. We know firsthand that decisions made in Washington ripple through barracks, living rooms, schools, and VA clinics for decades. This is not abstract to us.
Military action carries consequences that extend far beyond the battlefield. It affects readiness, VA capacity, mental health systems, military retention, and the long term stability of families who have already sacrificed more than most Americans will ever know.
The Constitution grants Congress the authority to decide when our nation enters sustained hostilities. That safeguard exists to ensure deliberation, accountability, and public trust. If American troops are placed in harm's way, the American people deserve transparency about the mission, the risks, and the strategy for bringing service members home and caring for them upon their return.
The Veterans & Military Families Council calls on the administration to immediately brief Congress and the American people with honesty and clarity, and we demand Congress assert its constitutional authority over matters of war.
Our service members are not pawns and should never be used for political leverage. They are not expendable. They deserve competent, responsible leadership worthy of the sacrifices they and their families are being asked to make on behalf of We The People.

I’m Alex Vindman and I’m running for the U.S. Senate. Chaos, corruption and sky-rocketing costs are crushing ordinary people, while the billionaires and career politicians profit. I stepped up when my country needed a soldier and now I’m stepping up again to fight for Floridians.

If today’s events remind you of waking up in December 1989 and hearing the news about Panama, please make sure you’ve had a preventative colonoscopy…if you have insurance which many now do not and that’s the real reason for this distraction, friends. It’s not Epstein.

This is a difficult time of year for many, and that isn’t lost on me. Since 2020, not only do the holidays not hit the same for the 1M+ in this country who lost loved ones to Covid — including myself, and many of you — but there are millions still getting a grasp after years, or even decades,

We will never be able to put our country back together until we prosecute those who are breaking the law multiple times a day. It’s what should have happened four years ago and it is a huge part of the reason we are in this mess today.
