Rep. Anna Eskamani has announced her endorsement of nonprofit leader Felipe Sousa-Lazaballet as her successor in the House District 42 race. Sousa-Lazaballet, currently the Executive Director of the Hope CommUnity Center, has been praised for his dedication to advocacy and commitment to fighting for the people of their community. He plans to focus on issues such as rising grocery prices, access to good-paying jobs, fully funded public schools, clean water and air, and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
As the first candidate to file for Eskamani’s seat, Sousa-Lazaballet is known for his work on behalf of LGBTQ and immigrant communities in the Orlando area. His campaign will also prioritize improving access to education and protecting the environment. With Eskamani unable to run again due to term limits, her endorsement of Sousa-Lazaballet solidifies his position as a frontrunner in the race.
Eskamani, who won re-election in 2020 with a significant majority, expressed confidence in Sousa-Lazaballet’s abilities to continue her work in advocating for the people of District 42. She highlighted his experience overseeing a substantial budget and managing a large team, showing his preparedness to take on the responsibilities of a state representative. With Eskamani’s support and his own dedication to public service, Sousa-Lazaballet looks set to be a strong candidate for the upcoming election.
