Hialeah Kid Who Lowered Your Property Taxes and Protected You From Data Centers

Bryan Avila grew up in East Hialeah and started knocking on doors for campaigns at 14 years old. Now he’s the Republican pick for Lt. Governor of Florida alongside Byron Donalds. In this episode he tells us how he got the call, what the Lt. Governor actually does, and why lowering property taxes has been his number one fight in Tallahassee.

He also talks about how Florida went from 10 million people to 23 million, why 550 people a day are moving here from other states, how insurance costs are starting to come down, and the data center bill he wrote that’s now being used as a model across the country. Plus his top 3 restaurants — Molinas, Grazianos, and Flanagans.

Vote November 3rd.
