Michael Alvarez

A few moments ago, I called School Board member Susan Valdes to congratulate her victory to the Florida House of Representatives. I sincerely wish her good luck in her future endeavor. As her future constituent, I will be rooting for her success.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank my loving wife, Amanda, for her patience during this campaign and for all the sacrifices she’s made throughout the past year. I would also like to thank all of my friends; family, particularly my Mom and Grandma; my employer, Westfall Roofing; my volunteers, particularly Beatriz Zafra and Devin Diaz; my consultant, Tom Alte, and everyone at Blue Ticket; all of the teachers and supporters who donated, volunteered, or offered encouragement and truly believed in our campaign.
To quote Senator John McCain “We fought as hard as we could, although we fell short, the failure is mine not yours.” From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

It ain’t over until it’s over

Susan Valdes made one promise to voters this year. She said she wouldn’t accept support from for-profit education corporations and Trump Republicans. Like so many other times in the past, she lied.

These Republican billionaires have been destroying public education all over America. Now they’re colluding with Susan Valdes to trick Democrats. I join teachers, working families, and Democrats all over Hillsborough in thanking Janet Cruz for pulling her endorsement and condemning Susan’s latest lies.

“There is only one candidate in this race that speaks to the heart and soul of this district and that is Mike Alvarez," said Mayor Bob Buckhorn. "He knows the community, has served his country as member of the United States Marine Corps, and is prepared to be our Representative in Tallahassee. He will be a credible and competent voice for West Tampa and Town and Country.”
