While Tallahassee and DC attack our rights, the cost of housing and healthcare continues to extract every cent from our neighborhoods.&nbsp;We don’t need politics as usual. We need an independent movement that is actually accountable to the working class—not to billionaire donors. It’s time to take our future back from the two-party system.

<h2>How to handle donations on your website</h2>Run does not process donations directly on our platform, as is standard with most political and advocacy sites. Campaigns are often required to comply with reporting requirements, donation limits, and other regulations, so using a donation processor that specializes in serving campaigns is generally a good idea. Sign up with a donation processor and then on your Pages sidebar, click the Link icon on the Donate page and add the link to your donation page. Some common options for donation processing include:<ul><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ActBlue</a></li><li><a href="https://www.campaigndeputy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Campaign Deputy</a> </li><li><a href="https://goodchange.app/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GoodChange</a></li><li><a href="https://numero.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Numero</a></li></ul>

South Florida Roots.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Oliver Larkin’s South Florida roots run deep.</h2><img src="https://run.imgix.net/96623fed-f91e-4efa-984e-e7925f95a88f/a505ad1d-7cd6-4599-8cf9-248ffda2266f/a505ad1d-7cd6-4599-8cf9-248ffda2266f.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1024%2C1539&amp;w=1500" alt=" A man, candidate Oliver Larkin for FL-23, in a suit and tie smiles confidently in front of an American flag" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="25" variant="base">A campaign staffer and lifelong advocate for South Florida, Oliver has published writing in the Sun Sentinel as a community member speaking out about climate resilience, public land, water privatization, immigration justice, and the national media’s erasure of South Florida from major political debates. Oliver's advocacy has spanned city halls, protests, and press pages. In South Florida, he’s fought the 100-year public land lease at Bahia Mar to luxury developers in Fort Lauderdale, protested the expansion of Waste Management’s toxic landfill at Monarch Hill across Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, and Coconut Creek, and stood with LGBTQIA+ communities demanding equality. He's demonstrated in Washington for policing reform. Oliver's work is always rooted in love—for his friends, family, and the South Florida community that raised him.<h3>Born on the Fourth of July to an Army family, Oliver has spent his life working to help the United States achieve our founding promise.</h3><img src="https://run.imgix.net/96623fed-f91e-4efa-984e-e7925f95a88f/dbf2d1b8-6eef-49ca-8d84-0b88eae166c8/dbf2d1b8-6eef-49ca-8d84-0b88eae166c8.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1038%2C1038&amp;w=1500" alt="Oliver, as a child, riding a small, brown miniature horse, holding an American flag with an American flag top hat, with his mom, Margot standing by his side, holding onto him in a sunny outdoor setting. " caption="" align="right" alignwidth="25" variant="base">Raised in Fort Lauderdale, Oliver grew up with a deep sense of duty to others. His parents taught him the values of hard work, integrity, and service. He attended Pine Crest School and later graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. As a high school student, he made phone calls for Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign and helped lead student climate efforts pushing for fossil fuel divestment. He went on to study English and History at Sewanee: The University of the South in Tennessee, where he also played football. Like millions of Americans, Oliver carries student loan debt—a daily reminder of how broken our higher education system is. <img src="https://run.imgix.net/96623fed-f91e-4efa-984e-e7925f95a88f/1ec4f968-e926-425c-adbb-da87348985b0/1ec4f968-e926-425c-adbb-da87348985b0.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1500%2C1000&amp;w=1500" alt="A man, Oliver Larkin, in a suit and tie speaks into a microphone at a bookstore at a campaign event." caption="" align="left" alignwidth="30" variant="base">Oliver didn't plan his way into politics—he lived it. When climate-denying Governor Rick Scott was re-elected in 2014, Oliver decided to act. After college, he was working in a restaurant, earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour when he contacted Bernie Sanders’ New Hampshire team, quit his job, and drove north to volunteer for a long-shot presidential campaign. Oliver showed up every day until he was hired—starting as an unpaid volunteer and eventually leading the Portsmouth field office through Sanders’ upset victory in the New Hampshire primary. He went on to organize in states across the country, including Nevada, Kansas, Utah, New York, and Rhode Island. In 2016, Oliver joined a communications firm in Washington, DC and helped unionize it with the NewsGuild-CWA—setting a new standard for how campaign workers should be treated. His work supported the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Senator Sanders’ Our Revolution, and the grassroots effort to pass Florida’s Amendment 4, which restored voting rights to over one million people. While living in Washington, DC during the COVID-19 pandemic, Oliver joined the Democratic Socialists of America, protested for racial justice following the police murder of George Floyd, and experienced the unrest surrounding the January 6th Capitol insurrection. These moments deepened his belief that democracy and civil rights aren’t guaranteed—they must be protected and practiced. He went on to lead digital fundraising efforts for Democratic leaders including Senator Cory Booker and Senator Adam Schiff, supporting the kind of principled leadership the moment demanded. <img src="https://run.imgix.net/96623fed-f91e-4efa-984e-e7925f95a88f/f14bfa95-cdcf-47eb-9fbb-170df37f1eae/f14bfa95-cdcf-47eb-9fbb-170df37f1eae.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1999%2C1177&amp;w=1500" alt="A man, Oliver Larkin, stands at a podium giving a speech during a city commission meeting." caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" variant="base">Oliver returned home to Florida’s 23rd District in 2022 with his wife, Sandra. Like many in South Florida, they’ve navigated skyrocketing housing costs between rentals in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Deerfield Beach. Since coming back home, Oliver has stood alongside families, educators, and LGBTQIA+ youth to protest groups like Moms for Liberty, the Proud Boys, and far-right school board members' hate-fueled attacks. Oliver is an active member of Broward DSA and continues working to build a more livable, inclusive, and just South Florida. We deserve independent leadership that gets results. That’s what Oliver’s campaign is about.

South Florida is ready for new leadership

Oliver Larkin believes Florida’s 23rd District deserves a progressive, effective leader who prioritizes public participation and town halls—two qualities missing in our current representation.He brings a decade of experience on the front lines of Big Tech accountability, data privacy, and democracy reform. Unlike his opponent, Oliver will stand with his Democratic colleagues against partisan Republican censures. He will defend immigrant and Latino communities from Trump and ICE’s authoritarian abuses and kidnappings. He will protect IRS funding to hold billionaire and corporate tax cheats accountable. He will stand up for trans youth and their right to access healthcare.Oliver will always defend the American people—and uphold our shared progressive values.These are the principles South Florida deserves from its representative in Congress—not self-enrichment at the expense of our most vulnerable communities. It’s time for effective leadership.

Progressives for Democracy in America Florida Endorses Oliver Larkin for Congress

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 15, 2025 Deerfield Beach, FL — 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. “South Floridians can’t afford the skyrocketing costs of housing, healthcare, transportation, groceries, childcare, and education,” said Larkin, a marketing professional and former Democratic campaign staffer. “Families are living in fear amid ICE raids. While our congressman refuses to hold town halls or answer questions, we are in the community—listening, organizing, and building the resources to give voters a stronger choice in 2026.” Larkin is challenging Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a two-time Ron DeSantis appointee rated Florida’s Least Effective Democrat by the nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking at the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt University. Moskowitz’s local absence, stock trades, and votes for Republican-led bills have drawn headlines and frustrated activists. He was the first House Democrat to join the DOGE Caucus, the only Florida Democrat to vote for Republicans’ Laken Riley Act, and has voted with Republicans to further Trump’s DC takeover and censure fellow Democrats—all while accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in corporate PAC donations. A Fort Lauderdale native, Larkin brings a decade of political experience as an early hire on Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, organizing a union with the NewsGuild-CWA, and as a marketing director supporting Democrats and progressive causes. Larkin is a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy and Sewanee: The University of the South, running on a platform to overturn Citizens United, ban congressional stock trading, and take on Trump’s billionaire oligarchs to pass Medicare for All, the Green New Deal, a $25 minimum wage, free college, childcare, paid family and medical leave, and other progressive priorities. “Like many South Floridians, I voted for Congressman Moskowitz,” Larkin added. “But his embrace of the Trump-Musk DOGE agenda is a betrayal of our values and our community’s trust. Our early fundraising shows that South Floridians believe we can—and must—do better. It’s time to bring a new generation of South Florida leadership to Washington.” For more information, visit <a href="http://oliverforcongress.com">oliverforcongress.com</a> and follow the campaign on social media.

Candidate Oliver Larkin Raises Over $100K in Democratic Primary Challenge to Rep. Jared Moskowitz

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 17, 2025 Deerfield Beach, FL — Oliver Larkin’s campaign in Florida’s 23rd congressional district announced the endorsement of Nina Turner, a former member of the Cleveland City Council, Ohio Senate, and national co-chair of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2020 presidential campaign, in his Democratic primary against incumbent U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz. “Oliver Larkin is the progressive champion that working class South Floridians deserve in Congress,” said Turner. “As president of Our Revolution, I worked closely with Oliver for years. After our time on Senator Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, he continued to help us build the progressive movement nationwide electing young leaders to all levels of government. As Oliver steps forward to become one of the next such leaders for the progressive cause, I am proud to offer him my full support.” Larkin worked as a field organizer and regional field director for the Bernie 2016 campaign in New Hampshire, Nevada, Kansas, Utah, New York, and Rhode Island. He later worked as a digital strategist at Revolution Messaging, a digital agency in Washington, DC that he helped unionize with the NewsGuild-CWA in 2018 while working with Turner and Our Revolution. “Senator Nina Turner is a personal inspiration to my call to public service, and I am humbled to have her support,” Larkin released in a statement. “As a young activist, I had the privilege of learning directly from her in our strategizing to oppose the first Trump administration and build the progressive movement nationwide. We are united in the belief that South Floridians and working class people across the country are ready for a new generation of independent leaders willing to challenge the status quo and party establishments. Together, we will win not only this election—we will win real change.” Turner’s endorsement is the Larkin campaign’s first from a current or former elected official. It follows the campaign reporting over $100,000 raised in its first three months in its October FEC filing as it builds momentum against Rep. Moskowitz, who was rated Florida’s Least Effective Democrat in Congress by the University of Virginia and Vanderbilt University’s nonpartisan Center for Effective Lawmaking earlier this spring.

Jared Moskowitz.

Oliver Larkin Announces Campaign Endorsement from Nina Turner, former Ohio State Senator

Deerfield Beach, FL — Oliver Larkin congratulated Mayor-elect Eileen Higgins and Miami voters for electing the first woman mayor in the city’s history and the first Democrat in nearly 30 years.“South Floridians are demanding an end to ICE’s abuses, lower costs, and an economy that works for everyone,” Larkin said. “Florida is worth fighting for, but Congressman Moskowitz isn’t fighting for us. As a two-time appointee of Governor Ron DeSantis, he was the only Democrat in our congressional delegation to vote for Republicans’ racist, ICE-empowering Laken Riley Act. He was the first Democrat in Congress to join Elon Musk’s DOGE Caucus. He was rated Florida’s Least Effective Democrat while sharing AIPAC and corporate donors with Donald Trump. This political moment requires real leadership, and next August, that’s what Democrats in Florida’s 23rd district will vote for our campaign to provide.”Florida Governor Ron DeSantis previously appointed Moskowitz as the director of the Florida Department of Emergency Management and to the Broward County Commission. On December 3, 2024, Rep. Moskowitz became the first Democrat nationwide in the U.S. House of Representatives to join Elon Musk’s DOGE Caucus. He is the only Democrat in Florida to vote for Republicans’ Laken Riley Act in January, which permits ICE to detain people with no criminal convictions, who now comprise three-quarters of ICE detainees in the new 2026 fiscal year.“In Congress, I won’t vote to empower ICE—I’ll vote to abolish it,” Larkin added. “I’ll fight for Medicare for All, a $25 minimum wage, and an end to the U.S. wasting billions of dollars that should be spent on healthcare and housing to fund Israel’s Gaza genocide. It is past time for our elected representatives in Congress to work for the affordable South Florida we all deserve.”For more information, visit <a href="http://www.OliverForCongress.com">www.OliverForCongress.com</a> and follow the campaign on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@oliveralarkin?emci=6c8340e7-04d6-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://x.com/OliverALarkin?emci=6c8340e7-04d6-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">X</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oliveradamslarkin/?emci=6c8340e7-04d6-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.threads.com/@oliveradamslarkin?emci=6c8340e7-04d6-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">Threads</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/oliveralarkin.bsky.social?emci=6c8340e7-04d6-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">BlueSky</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverforcongress?emci=6c8340e7-04d6-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">Facebook</a>.Media Contact: Zack Bofshever 954-439-6267 <a href="mailto:press@oliverforcongress.com">press@oliverforcongress.com</a>###

Oliver Larkin Statement on Miami Mayoral Runoff Election

Deerfield Beach, FL — Democratic congressional candidate Oliver Larkin (FL-23) condemned President Donald Trump’s threat to denaturalize U.S. citizens following the ambush on the National Guard. He issued the statement below:“Donald Trump is already using this week’s violent attack near the White House to justify the most extreme parts of a mass detention and deportation agenda that 220 federal judges have ruled unlawful,” Larkin said. “As this lawless administration manufactures an immigration crisis with termination of TPS for Haitians, Venezuelans, and other Florida residents, District 23 needs a representative who stands up for due process and the Constitution—not one who votes for Trump and far-right Republicans’ immigration laws to empower ICE as Jared Moskowitz has.”Trump’s threat to deport “anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country” and “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility” to the end of “a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations” is the latest escalation of Trump’s fascist government whose targets now include U.S. citizens.&nbsp;Oliver Larkin believes in the freedom of movement and the right to seek a better life. He will defend the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, and in Congress will fight for policies including:<ul><li>A clear pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and those with DACA</li><li>Expanding and protecting Temporary Protected Status (TPS)</li><li>Legal status for parents previously covered under DAPA</li><li>Ending far-right attempts to criminalize immigration and restrict legal pathways</li></ul>“This violence is not a story about immigration. It is a story about the consequences of America’s addiction to endless war,” Larkin added. “In moments such as these, the choice before us becomes clearer: We can either allow Trump’s fear-based narrative to take hold or we can confront the actual systems that produced this moment –– and refuse to scapegoat the very communities Trump has sought to blame all along.”For more information, visit <a href="http://oliverforcongress.com">oliverforcongress.com</a> and follow the campaign on social media.

Labor Community Alliance of South Florida Endorses Oliver Larkin for Congress

DEERFIELD BEACH, FL – Early this morning, congressional candidate Oliver Larkin joined Starbucks Workers United baristas on the picket line outside the first unionized Starbucks store in Palm Beach County, standing in solidarity with workers participating in a nationwide labor action. The strike, the first in Florida connected to the national mobilization, comes as Starbucks Corporation continues to refuse to negotiate a fair contract with unionized employees. Baristas at the Palm Springs store are calling for better hours, fair wages, adequate staffing, and more predictable scheduling, echoing concerns voiced by Starbucks workers across the country.&nbsp; “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. Corporate greed has consequences, and working people feel them every day.” Larkin’s support for unions is rooted in personal experience. Before running for office, he helped organize his workplace with the NewsGuild-Communication Workers of America, giving him first-hand insight into the challenges workers face when fighting for a union.&nbsp; “As a former union organizer, I know what it means to demand better when the deck is stacked against you,” Larkin said. “In Congress, I will fight to strengthen federal labor law, end barriers to unionization, and protect the right of every worker to organize for a better life.”&nbsp; Starbucks Workers United has launched coordinated strikes nationwide in response to the corporation’s refusal to bargain in good faith, even as Starbucks continues to report strong profits and expanding executive compensation. Larkin will continue joining workers across Florida’s 23rd District as part of his commitment to an economy that prioritizes people over corporate profits.

<h3>In Congress, Oliver will champion bold constitutional reforms to strengthen democracy and ensure every voice counts.</h3><h4>Electoral College</h4>Millennials, Gen Z, and every generation today lives with the consequences of two presidents—George W. Bush and Donald Trump—elected despite losing the popular vote. These outcomes have had devastating consequences: endless wars, economic collapse, a deadly pandemic response, and massive transfers of wealth to the ultra-rich. For younger generations, a lower standard of living than our parents is now the norm—not the exception. It’s time to move beyond the outdated compromises of the slave-state era and build a democracy that reflects the will of the people.<h4>Constitutional Reforms</h4>In 2024, over 1.5 million Floridians voted for Amendment 4 to guarantee the right to abortion—but it failed due to Florida’s 60% supermajority requirement. The same happened with Amendment 3 to legalize recreational marijuana. These anti-democratic thresholds, gerrymandered state legislatures, and court rulings like Shelby County v. Holder have blocked progress for decades. Florida is living proof of what happens when minority rule overrides majority will. Oliver will support legislation like the For the People Act and John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, and fight to:<ul><li>Ban partisan gerrymandering through independent redistricting commissions</li><li>Enact automatic and same-day voter registration</li><li>Expand access to open primaries and ranked choice voting</li><li>Overturn Citizens United</li><li>Impose ethics and anti-corruption standards on all branches of government, including a ban on stock trading by members of Congress</li></ul>He will also support abolishing the Senate filibuster, expanding the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court, and granting statehood to Washington, DC and self-determination—including statehood if chosen—for Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Florida—and the country—deserve a democracy that works for all of us, not just the powerful few.

Democracy Reform

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 16, 2025 Deerfield Beach, FL — Democratic congressional candidate Oliver Larkin (FL-23) condemned the Trump administration’s fifth deadly strike on Venezuelan civilians and Rep. Jared Moskowitz’s silence as the administration moves to end Temporary Protected Status for 300,000 Venezuelans and authorizes CIA intervention in Venezuela.“Since September 1st, this administration has carried out five illegal attacks in international waters—executing 27 people under the pretext of fighting drug trafficking,” Larkin said. “These are extrajudicial killings meant to provoke war, and our congressman’s silence is unacceptable.”Larkin noted that Moskowitz has issued no statement on the strikes or the Supreme Court’s decision allowing DHS to end TPS protections for Venezuelan beneficiaries, half of whom live in Florida.“The Trump administration has spread false claims about Venezuelan migrants, justified illegal, unilateral sanctions, and manufactured chaos by ending TPS,” 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.”Larkin called for restoring diplomatic relations with Venezuela, ending sanctions, and pursuing peace and multilateralism to secure the release of political prisoners, respect national sovereignty and self-determination, and support Venezuela’s transition to democracy.“The U.S. cannot claim moral authority while using air strikes to charge, convict, and execute human beings,” he added. “My heart is with the families of the human beings whose lives were stolen, the Venezuelan people suffering under crippling U.S. sanctions and foreign policy, and the people in our state who may be afraid for their families, to walk down the street, to speak Spanish. Our service members deserve better than suffering the traumas of being ordered to commit illegal acts. South Florida’s Venezuelan American community deserves peace, safety, and dignity—not to be scapegoated for Trump’s political gain.”For more information, visit <a href="http://oliverforcongress.com">oliverforcongress.com</a> and follow the campaign on social media.

Larkin Slams Trump’s Venezuela Killings, Moskowitz’s Silence, and TPS Rollback

<h3>Ending Forever Wars</h3>Oliver supports repealing the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF), which has enabled endless U.S. military involvement around the world without proper congressional oversight. Then-Rep. Barbara Lee cast the lone vote against it—and she was right. For more than two decades, the U.S. has spent trillions of dollars waging war abroad while stripping civil liberties at home, from Bush-era surveillance to Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids and secret police tactics under the Department of Homeland Security. Even after the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the defense budget continues to grow. Oliver believes it’s time to end the president’s unchecked war powers and redirect resources toward rebuilding here at home.<h3>Israel-Palestine</h3>Oliver agrees with Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and the United Nations that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, including the use of starvation tactics. More than half of Gaza’s population is under 18, and Oliver believes the United States must prioritize protecting children and civilians. He supports:<ul><li>An immediate suspension of U.S. military aid to Israel under the Leahy Law</li><li>An end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and illegal occupation, settlement expansion, and apartheid system in the West Bank</li><li>Recognition of Palestinian refugees’ right to return and achieve self-determination </li></ul>Oliver believes lasting peace must center human rights and equality for all. He opposes continued U.S. military support for authoritarian or warmongering regimes.<h3>Venezuela</h3>Oliver condemns the Trump administration's extrajudicial murders of Venezuelan citizens in September and October 2025. The administration has escalated its use of military force in violation of international law and cut off diplomatic ties. Its October 3, 2025 strike coincided with the Supreme Court ruling the Department of Homeland Security could terminate Temporary Protected Status for 300,000 Venezuelans with established U.S. residency. Oliver wrote about Trump and the Supreme Court's effort to end Venezuela TPS in May 2025 in the <a href="https://www.sun-sentinel.com/2025/05/27/the-end-of-venezuelans-protected-immigration-status-escalates-vicious-u-s-policy-opinion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">South Florida Sun Sentinel</a>. The administration has justified its illegal domestic searches and seizures, violations of our constitutional rights, and abuses at the hands of masked ICE officers as a necessary cost of national security, a clear step toward authoritarianism. Oliver will support legislation to establish pathways to citizenship for immigrants with TPS status and recent arrivals. He strongly opposes ICE's domestic campaign of detention and deportation, illegal regime change efforts, as well as the imposition of sanctions regimes that create needless suffering for innocent people and spur the very migration crises that politicians cynically exploit for electoral gain. Congress must assert its war powers over the executive branch to deescalate military tensions with Venezuela, reestablish diplomatic ties, and improve the economic conditions driving the desperation that fuels human trafficking, drug smuggling, and political destabilization that authoritarians use to secure power.<h3>Ukraine-Russia &amp; NATO</h3>Oliver condemns Russia’s illegal war of aggression in Ukraine and supports defensive U.S. military aid to help Ukrainians defend their sovereignty while prioritizing diplomacy as our primary tool of engagement with Russia's allies. Russia has occupied Ukrainian territory since 2014 and bears full responsibility for the conflict and its massive human cost.Congress and the State Department must subject any U.S. military aid coordinated with the European Union and NATO to rigorous oversight. The United States must also support the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice's effort to hold leaders and states accountable for war crimes, including removing U.S. sanctions on ICC investigators and prosecutors.Oliver believes it is in the United States' interest to extend the New START treaty with Russia and pursue nuclear non-proliferation, including a reduction in the United States' nuclear arsenal as part of a 10 percent overall reduction in non-pay, non-benefit U.S. military spending. As a condition of New START's extension, Oliver believes in-person inspections, paused during the Covid-19 pandemic, should resume. Oliver also recognizes the damaging role Donald Trump played when he illegally tried to extort President Zelenskyy for political gain by withholding congressionally-approved U.S. aid—fueling conditions for Russia’s 2022 invasion. Appeasement does not stop dictators. Oliver believes the U.S. must continue supporting Ukraine alongside our NATO allies to uphold freedom and international law.<h3>Latin America &amp; Caribbean</h3>Oliver believes the U.S. must deepen its economic, cultural, and governmental partnerships across Latin America and the Caribbean. That starts with:<ul><li>Ending the embargo on Cuba</li><li>Supporting labor and environmental protections in trade agreements</li><li>Respecting self-determination for Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Haiti</li><li>Ending U.S.-backed coups, regime change efforts, and support for authoritarian governments</li></ul>He believes the U.S. has a special responsibility to support economic and democratic development in countries whose sovereignty we’ve historically violated. That includes pushing for France, the U.K., and other former colonial powers to contribute to post-colonial reparative support, particularly for Haiti—the first Black republic in the Americas, still punished for seizing its liberty over 200 years ago.

Foreign Policy

<h3>Medicare for All</h3>The United States is the only high-income country that doesn’t guarantee healthcare as a right—yet we pay more per person than anywhere else. It’s time for Medicare for All. Oliver supports the Medicare for All Act to guarantee healthcare to everyone in the U.S., eliminating copays, premiums, and deductibles. In Florida—one of just 10 states that still hasn’t expanded Medicaid—the need is especially urgent. In Congress, Oliver will fight Republican efforts to cut care and work to expand Medicare to include hearing, vision, and dental coverage. He supports canceling medical debt and investing in mental health, addiction treatment, home care, and elder care rooted in community—not isolation. He stands with nurses, EMTs, and care workers fighting for livable wages and with doctors burdened by debt. A universal system will strengthen unions, support small businesses, and give people the freedom to live healthier, fuller lives—without corporate insurance companies profiting off denied care.<h3>Abortion Rights</h3>Abortion is healthcare and a human right. In Congress, Oliver will be a proud, vocal advocate for reproductive freedom. He supports the Abortion Justice Act and EACH Act to protect and expand abortion access—no matter who you are, where you live, or how much money you make. Oliver opposes all abortion bans. He believes people—not politicians—should make personal healthcare decisions. In states like Florida, extremists are putting lives at risk by delaying care and closing clinics. These bans force people to travel long distances, wait later into pregnancy, or forgo care entirely. Oliver will fight to restore nationwide abortion access, end medically unnecessary restrictions, and reduce maternal and infant deaths. He supports training the next generation of OBGYNs, protecting providers, and expanding access to care—especially in underserved communities. The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of any wealthy country, with Black women three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. Oliver knows protecting abortion access is inseparable from fighting for maternal justice, racial justice, and healthcare equity. <h3>LGBTQIA+ Healthcare</h3>Oliver will fight any Republican attempt to restrict LGBTQIA+ healthcare. He supports universal access to gender-affirming care and will stand up to far-right attacks on trans youth, civil rights, and basic dignity. From banning care to shutting down hotlines for trans youth in crisis, extremists are putting lives at risk. Oliver will work to expand access, combat misinformation, and destigmatize LGBTQIA+ healthcare through public education and federal policy.<h3>HIV/AIDS</h3>The U.S. is still living with the consequences of federal inaction during the HIV/AIDS crisis. South Florida remains one of the hardest-hit regions in the country. Oliver believes lifesaving medications like PrEP should be widely available, affordable, and accessible to all. He will oppose any rollback of federal HIV/AIDS programs like PEPFAR and push for congressional oversight of harmful policy decisions. Everyone deserves care—regardless of income, ZIP code, or status.Oliver believes HIV prevention medication PrEP is an essential, lifesaving form of healthcare that should be made widely accessible.<h3>Big Pharma &amp; Drug Policy</h3>Oliver believes we must end Big Pharma’s profiteering by having the federal government manufacture generic prescription drugs at cost—and allow Medicare to negotiate prices across the board. A quarter of Americans can’t afford their medications. That’s unacceptable. Healthcare shouldn’t be driven by profit margins, and public health trust won’t be restored until we hold corporations accountable. He supports legal accountability for the opioid crisis, expanded access to non-addictive pain treatments, and ending the federal prohibition on marijuana. Legalization would create tax revenue, cut into the black market, and allow medical research into promising treatments for epilepsy, PTSD, cancer, and more. Oliver also supports vaccine requirements to prevent deadly outbreaks. He will oppose the appointment of conspiracy theorists like RFK Jr. to public health leadership and use Congress’s oversight power to protect science-based healthcare policy.

Oliver will cosponsor House Medicare for All legislation for zero-cost healthcare guaranteed to all people. Oliver believes healthcare is a human right. Also, small businesses and entrepreneurs need Medicare for All. We need this fundamental freedom to rebuild the economy and reestablish the middle class pathway to the American Dream.

Miami, FL – The Miami Democratic Socialists of America unanimously voted to endorse Oliver Larkin for Congress in Florida’s 23rd district at their chapter convention on Sunday.“Miami DSA is proud to endorse Oliver Larkin, a proud democratic socialist and former union organizer with CWA, for Florida's 23rd Congressional District. South Florida needs a champion for working people like Oliver, not a corporate politician like Jared Moskowitz,” said Maria Franzblau, chair of the Miami Democratic Socialists of America.“I am grateful to the members of Miami DSA for their unanimous endorsement,” said Larkin. “Together, we have rallied with union workers at Miami International Airport, demonstrated against imperialist wars and for Venezuelan TPS at the Torch of Friendship, and protested beside Miamians of all faiths for a free Palestine against Zionism, genocide, and apartheid. I am proud to work in solidarity with Miami DSA for a South Florida and a Congress that fights for the interests of the working class. With our shared commitment to electing new democratic socialist leadership in District 23, we can abolish ICE, win Medicare for All, and pass a $25 minimum wage. A better South Florida, and a better world, is possible.”Miami DSA is the third chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America to endorse Larkin, following the Broward DSA and the Palm Beach Treasure Coast DSA’s endorsements. Larkin has been a DSA member since 2020 and was a staffer for democratic socialist Senator Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign.For more information, visit <a href="http://www.OliverForCongress.com">www.OliverForCongress.com</a> and follow the campaign on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@oliveralarkin?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=58fe98ae-4b01-f111-832f-000d3a1f0e4c&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://x.com/OliverALarkin?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=58fe98ae-4b01-f111-832f-000d3a1f0e4c&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">X</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oliveradamslarkin/?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=58fe98ae-4b01-f111-832f-000d3a1f0e4c&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.threads.com/@oliveradamslarkin?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=58fe98ae-4b01-f111-832f-000d3a1f0e4c&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Threads</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/oliveralarkin.bsky.social?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=58fe98ae-4b01-f111-832f-000d3a1f0e4c&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BlueSky</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverforcongress?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=58fe98ae-4b01-f111-832f-000d3a1f0e4c&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a>.Media Contact: Zack Bofshever 954-439-6267 <a href="mailto:press@oliverforcongress.com">press@oliverforcongress.com</a>###

Miami, FL – The Miami Democratic Socialists of America unanimously voted to endorse Oliver Larkin for Congress in Florida’s 23rd district at their chapter convention on Sunday.

Miami Democratic Socialists of America Endorse Oliver Larkin for Congress

Fort Lauderdale, FL — Oliver Larkin’s campaign for Congress in FL-23 announced the endorsement of the Palm Beach &amp; Treasure Coast Democratic Socialists of America:“We endorse Oliver Larkin because his campaign centers material working-class priorities with a platform that addresses the material conditions shaping daily life in South Florida,” the statement read. “The cost of living is out of control. Healthcare remains unaffordable while environmental degradation directly threatens local livelihoods in a capitalist political system that too often prioritizes profit over the people's wellbeing. Larkin has made clear commitments that align with DSA’s core purpose of building working-class power and international solidarity, including support for Medicare for All, raising wages to a living standard, and major democracy reforms aimed at increasing the political power of the majority of the population.”The statement added, “In South Florida, environmental conditions are inseparable from housing, employment, and public health. Ecological failure directly affects livelihoods. Larkin has emphasized the need for ambitious environmental restoration and climate resilience, including projects tied to Florida Bay and the coral reefs, recognizing that ‘our environment is our economy.’ With this endorsement we reflect the democratic decision of our membership and our belief that politics should be accountable to working people, not corporate power. We invite supporters across FL-23 to join us in building a campaign rooted in solidarity and dignity.”“DSA across District 23 is united,” said campaign manager Zack Bofshever. “We must address the affordability crisis, confront authoritarianism, and win universal economic policies—Medicare for All, a $25 minimum wage, and universal childcare. South Floridians deserve a representative who works for them, not corporate PACs—which is why Oliver’s support is growing by the day.”“South Floridians deserve leaders in Congress who will confront the greed of the billionaire class,” said Larkin. “Our campaign is building a movement to win this Democratic primary and the general election to win real change in Washington, DC.”Palm Beach &amp; Treasure Coast DSA’s endorsement follows Broward DSA in December 2025.For more information, visit <a href="http://www.OliverForCongress.com">www.OliverForCongress.com</a> and follow the campaign on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@oliveralarkin?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=fc15bbd0-9af0-f011-8194-000d3a11f903&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://x.com/OliverALarkin?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=fc15bbd0-9af0-f011-8194-000d3a11f903&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">X</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oliveradamslarkin/?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=fc15bbd0-9af0-f011-8194-000d3a11f903&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.threads.com/@oliveradamslarkin?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=fc15bbd0-9af0-f011-8194-000d3a11f903&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Threads</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/oliveralarkin.bsky.social?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=fc15bbd0-9af0-f011-8194-000d3a11f903&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BlueSky</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverforcongress?nvep=&amp;hmac=&amp;emci=fc15bbd0-9af0-f011-8194-000d3a11f903&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a>.Media Contact: Zack Bofshever 954-439-6267 <a href="mailto:press@oliverforcongress.com">press@oliverforcongress.com</a>###

Larkin brings a decade of experience to the 23rd district primary as a Democratic campaign staffer and marketing professional working with elected leaders in Congress. This is his first campaign for public office. “Rep. Jared Moskowitz, the Florida Democrat whose net worth has jumped nearly 60% since he ran for office in 2022, has traded over $3 million in stocks, becoming one of the most prolific traders in Congress today,” Ban the Trade PAC’s statement added. “We know Oliver can win this fight, but he needs our support to do so, and we need to back him now.” Ban the Trade PAC was formed in 2025 and aims to raise up to seven figures for their efforts, Axios reported in May. A 2023 University of Maryland study found overwhelming majorities of voters in excess of 80 percent of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents support a ban on congressional stock trading.“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.

Jared Moskowitz, who has accepted $397,398 from AIPAC—despite their backing of 109 insurrectionist Republicans in the 2022 midterms that followed the January 6th Capitol riot.Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption emphasized Larkin’s leadership and integrity in their endorsement. “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.” Larkin reiterated his commitment to upholding human rights and taking on the corrupt campaign finance system, one that has allowed far-right billionaires to flood Democratic primaries with campaign contributions even as they support insurrectionist Republicans who attack democracy. “I am proud to accept the endorsement of Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption and am grateful for their support,” Larkin said in a statement. “Our campaign to represent Florida’s 23rd district looks forward to working together in solidarity with Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption and their outstanding slate of progressive candidates across the country&nbsp; to advance the causes of a just foreign policy and anti-corruption campaign finance reform in the United States of America.”Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption’s endorsement marks the second national endorsement in the two weeks since Larkin launched his congressional campaign.

Oliver Larkin Earns Endorsement of Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption

Gun violence is now the leading cause of death for minors under 18, and the U.S. experiences far more mass shootings than any other country in the world.The Second Amendment calls for a “well-regulated militia,” but that is severely lacking in the United States today. Oliver supports an assault weapons ban, universal background checks, red flag laws, mandatory waiting periods, magazine and ammunition restrictions, bans on bump stocks, and the repeal of the gun industry’s special legal immunity from civil liability. He also supports increased federal funding for school safety and community-based gun violence prevention programs. Oliver would back legislation like the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act to hold negligent gun manufacturers accountable—where it matters most: their bottom line. While no law can undo the loss and trauma caused by gun violence, survivors and families deserve their day in court. He believes the Centers for Disease Control must be fully empowered and funded to research gun violence as the public health crisis it is. The National Rifle Association’s grip on American politics is a symptom of a broken campaign finance system. Oliver believes it’s time to put people before profits—and end the influence of gun manufacturers and their lobbyists once and for all.

<h3>America's Contract with Veterans</h3>Oliver grew up with a deep sense of service and patriotism. His father and both grandfathers served in the U.S. military. His father graduated from college through the Army ROTC program and became a homeowner with a military loan—instilling in Oliver the belief that service to the nation should be met with a pathway to the middle class. Today, that promise is broken for too many veterans and even active-duty service members. Some who fought for this country have been deported instead of offered a pathway from green card to citizenship. Many active-duty, Reserve, and National Guard members rely on SNAP—or don’t qualify because of inadequate housing allowances. Some estimates show that up to one-third of active-duty service members experience hunger, with military families facing food insecurity at more than twice the national average. Many bases are located in high-cost or rural areas where access to affordable food and basic services is limited. Oliver supports raising the military pay scale to ensure service members and their families can live with dignity and stability.<h3>Housing</h3>Oliver will lead efforts in Congress to repeal the failed Military Housing Privatization Initiative. Too many military families live in unsafe housing—infested with mold, pests, and vermin; plagued by structural, electrical, or gas hazards; and under gag orders from private contractors requiring NDAs before repairs are made. In 2021, one military housing contractor paid $65 million in restitution for defrauding the government—just one of many settlements, whistleblower cases, and federal investigations into widespread neglect and abuse. Oliver supports building 500,000 to 1 million new affordable housing units to serve the 3 million people who work with or within the U.S. military.<h3>Mental Health and Suicide Prevention</h3>The United States loses approximately 20 veterans a day to suicide. Since 9/11, more U.S. service members have died by suicide than in combat. Veterans deserve full access to treatment for PTSD, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), chronic pain, disability, and long-term health conditions. Oliver supports reclassifying controlled substances to allow for peer-reviewed research and the safe prescription of treatments—including cannabis and psychedelics—when medically appropriate. <h3>Veterans Affairs</h3>Oliver strongly supports full federal funding for the VA and opposes all efforts to privatize it. His grandfather, a Korean War veteran, dedicated nearly 2,000 volunteer hours at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center—because he believed in the community and care it provided. Oliver believes the VA should remain a specialized agency within a broader Medicare for All system—ensuring veterans receive expert, veteran-specific care while still upholding the original mission of the Department of Veterans Affairs: patriotism, not profit.

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."

<h3>Climate Resiliency for South Florida</h3>Florida’s 23rd District is one of the most vulnerable areas in the country to climate change. From failing pipes and boil water notices to blooms of toxic cyanobacteria (previously known as "blue-green algae") and die-offs of endangered species, our infrastructure and ecosystems are in crisis. Our environment is our economy. Oliver supports federal public investment in sustainable energy and infrastructure to create millions of good-paying jobs, preserve our South Florida community for future generations, and make the U.S. a global leader in sustainable innovation. In Congress, he’ll fight to bring federal resources home to upgrade public infrastructure, restore natural ecosystems, clean our water, and hold polluters accountable. <h4>Public Transportation</h4>Oliver will introduce legislation to purchase 500,000 electric buses nationwide—improving public transit, easing traffic gridlock, and reducing emissions from vehicles. He supports building a national high-speed rail network and securing immediate federal investment in Tri-Rail expansion, including an underground New River tunnel to connect Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach Counties along the Coastal Link line. This plan will ease congestion, reduce emissions, and protect the integrity and walkability of downtown Fort Lauderdale.<h4>Public Utilities</h4>Oliver supports an immediate shift away from fossil fuels, especially in Florida’s fragile ecosystem. He will fight the corrupt influence of utility giants like Florida Power &amp; Light, which has pushed through the largest utility rate hike in U.S. history while bankrolling political campaigns—including his opponent’s. In Congress, Oliver will fight for a national Clean Power Plan to reduce energy costs, decarbonize the grid, and stop private utility monopolies from profiting off our basic needs.<h4>Public Lands</h4>Private sugarcane production in the Everglades Agricultural Area—nearly half a million acres—has devastated Florida’s natural water systems. Meanwhile, 15% of Florida’s land is reserved for cattle and up to 8% for golf courses, which use two-thirds of all recreational water. Oliver will fight to restore Florida’s ecosystems by buying out Big Sugar operations and sending water south from Lake Okeechobee to repair the Everglades, Big Cypress, and Florida Bay. He supports completing the land buyback deal originally negotiated by then-Governor Charlie Crist to restore the Everglades’ flow. He’ll also work to establish a statewide Florida Wildlife Corridor and protect our freshwater aquifers from overdevelopment and pollution.

In South Florida, our environment is our economy. Oliver will work in Congress to fund modern water and sewer infrastructure, clean Intracoastal and healthy reefs, and federal support for thousands of new electric buses and trains including TriRail and the Coastal Link commuter rail tunnel below Fort Lauderdale's New River.

"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."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE December 9, 2025Deerfield Beach, FL — Congressional candidate Oliver Larkin, Democrat for Florida’s 23rd district, condemned Governor Ron DeSantis’ executive order designating the Council on American-Islamic Relations as a terrorist organization in the following statement:“CAIR is the largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States, and CAIR Florida has tirelessly defended the civil rights of student worshippers, protest groups, and the many proud Muslim Americans who call our state home,” Larkin said. “Freedom of religion and equal protection under the law are core concepts of our constitutional system—one that Governor DeSantis flagrantly violates with yesterday’s political stunt of an executive order.”Larkin attended CAIR’s South Florida Gala in Fort Lauderdale in October and has consistently spoken out in support of CAIR’s work, including advocating for the release of 16-year-old Florida resident and U.S. citizen Mohammed Ibrahim from Israeli detention in the West Bank.“Governor DeSantis is desperate to manufacture enemies from our neighbors as he and Donald Trump continue their authoritarian police state’s encroachment on our most fundamental freedoms and civil rights,” Larkin said. “In Congress, I will work alongside CAIR and other civil rights organizations to protect religious freedom, combat discrimination, and ensure that Muslim Americans—like all Americans—can enjoy the full freedoms and liberties that are the promise of the United States of America.”For more information, visit <a href="http://www.OliverForCongress.com">www.OliverForCongress.com</a> and follow the campaign on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@oliveralarkin?emci=8cda6888-32d5-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">TikTok</a>, <a href="https://x.com/OliverALarkin?emci=8cda6888-32d5-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">X</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/oliveradamslarkin/?emci=8cda6888-32d5-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.threads.com/@oliveradamslarkin?emci=8cda6888-32d5-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">Threads</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/oliveralarkin.bsky.social?emci=8cda6888-32d5-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">BlueSky</a>, and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/oliverforcongress?emci=8cda6888-32d5-f011-8195-000d3a1d58aa&amp;emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&amp;ceid={{ContactsEmailID}}">Facebook</a>.Media Contact: Zack Bofshever 954-439-6267 <a href="mailto:press@oliverforcongress.com">press@oliverforcongress.com</a>###
