Mucarsel-Powell is hoping to win re-election after becoming the first South American immigrant elected to Congress and the first Latina Democrat elected to represent Florida in Congress in 2018.
"I worked my way through high school and college, starting in a donut shop, and worked my way up to Congress. Now, I want to keep fighting to make sure every American has the opportunity to live the American dream just like I did.
"This year, I'm reminding people that DMP - my initials - stand for 'Don't Mess With My People.' This strong sense of defending my community is rooted in my Hispanic heritage.
"Everything is at stake in this election. Over 220,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus because of failed leadership, families and small businesses are struggling, and the White House has given up.
"Meanwhile, in the midst of this pandemic, Trump and DC Republicans are in court trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act. If they are successful, more than 20 million Americans would lose coverage almost overnight. We need to elect leaders who will help get us out of this public health and economic crisis while protecting and strengthening America's health care."
