“Donald Trump has incited his supporters against Ilhan Omar since the day she took office. When Jared Moskowitz arrived in Congress, he fell in line.

“We are proud to announce that the Broward County DSA has overwhelmingly voted to endorse Oliver Larkin for FL-23. Oliver is a bold fighter for worker power, internationalism, and democracy. This campaign will give South Floridians a choice between a corporate Democrat who supports Israel’s genocide on Palestine, and a candidate who will stand up for the working class and global peace,” Broward DSA’s statement read.

“College students, Jewish worshippers, and every single human being deserves the security and freedom to be safe from gun violence,” said Larkin. “Yesterday’s targeting of college students at Brown University during their final exams and the antisemitic attack on Jewish Australians celebrating their faith on the first night of Hanukkah stain our collective humanity."

“Members of Congress should not be personally profiting from our broken and corrupt healthcare industry,” Larkin said. “The United States is the wealthiest nation not to guarantee healthcare as a right, while we pay twice as much per capita as other nations."

“This fight is about dignity, stability, and the right to a fair workplace,” Larkin said. “When CEO Brian Niccol takes home nearly $100 million while baristas make $16 an hour and struggle to afford rent in South Florida, something is deeply wrong.

Jared Moskowitz.

“Rep. Moskowitz is one of just three House Democrats appointed by Leader Hakeem Jeffries to serve on the Republicans' January 6 subcommittee. Why hasn’t he bothered to speak out all week against Donald Trump’s lawless ongoing assault on democracy and attempt to erase the history of his 2020 election loss?” Larkin said.

 “They are desperate to convince people that ICE raids, mass deportations, and covert CIA regime change operations are necessary. Without inventing an enemy to be fought, it is harder to sell the illegal domestic searches and seizures, violations of immigration law, and abuses at the hands of these masked ICE officers—much less another catastrophic United States regime change war of choice.”

Oliver Larkin’s campaign for Congress in Florida’s 23rd District announced it raised over $100,000 from more than 1,000 grassroots donors nationwide in its first Federal Election Commission reporting quarter—rivaling the early fundraising pace of leading Democratic and Republican contenders in South Florida without corporate PAC money.

“Our campaign is proud to accept Ban the Trade PAC’s endorsement. We agree that now is the time to unite Americans from across the political spectrum to support a higher standard of ethics, accountability, and public service for our elected officials,” Larkin said.

“South Florida is ready for a new generation of leadership, and that leader is Oliver Larkin,” the Catch Fire Movement board wrote. “He’s taking on corporate power head-on: rejecting corporate PAC money and running on Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, a $25 minimum wage, and overturning Citizens United.”

“By rejecting AIPAC’s corrupting millions—dollars that silence dissent, shield apartheid, and fuel endless war—Larkin has chosen to stand on the right side of history. Voters are tired of U.S. foreign policy being hijacked by a lobby that prioritizes oppression over justice. Larkin’s commitment to human rights, accountability, and putting people over militarism is exactly what this moment demands.”

" He is missed two and a half times the average number of house votes. Which might be excusable if he was really accessible here," Larkin said [on Moskowitz]. "And maybe misses a few votes to be more present in the community. But he is also blowing off these local groups and not even deigning some of them with a response."

“Oliver isn’t just the better candidate— he’s the only candidate in this race who actually gives a damn about the people instead of the donor class…The choice in this race isn’t between left and right— it’s between conscience and corruption,” wrote Blue America’s Howie

Oliver Larkin, a progressive organizer, campaign strategist, and lifelong South Floridian, has announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District. Born on the Fourth of July to an Army family and raised in Fort Lauderdale, Larkin is launching a people-powered campaign to bring effective, principled leadership back to Congress.

"We must end the era of U.S. bullying and intimidation abroad and replace it with a foreign policy rooted in human rights, climate action and economic cooperation. That means ending destructive sanctions and regime-change tactics, and instead investing in global public health, sustainable development and the democratic self-determination of nations."

"Government exists to provide necessary services to the public that are not cost effective in the private sector. Those services include clean water, sewage treatment, law enforcement, infrastructure, jail facilities, education, parks, health care and more."

Resident Oliver Larkin, one of 250 people who signed up to speak at Tuesday’s meeting, said the only people backing the deal were the ones who could make money on it.

“This last-minute backroom deal stinks,” Larkin told the commission. “This was our land long before you or I were here. Please don’t be the ones who throw it all away with this lease."

"The governor’s budget still doesn’t include the funding to buy land south of Lake Okeechobee and stop the discharges into the Caloosahatchee and St. Lucie rivers that crippled tourism last summer. We voted to allocate funds to improve our environmental health years ago. Wouldn’t cleaner beaches and water help tourism?"
