The Former Prosecutor Running to Fix District 27
Michael Arias
Michael Arias, a former prosecutor and financial regulatory attorney, joins us to explain why he's running for Congress in Florida's District 27. He shares the moment he decided to run, why he believes Congress needs more competent lawyers making decisions, and what he sees as the biggest issue with the current District 27 representative. We also get into his priorities if elected — tackling the federal debt, fixing insurance rates, term limits, fraud, law enforcement, and immigration reform including the Dignity Act, TPS protections for Venezuelans and Haitians, and the Dreamers Act 2025. He also shares his perspective on the Cuba situation and what a real negotiated deal could look like. The Republican primary is August 18th — hear his full case before you vote.
