My name is Jen Perelman. I'm challenging Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in the Democratic primary in FL-23, which covers Broward County and a portion of Miami-Dade County. I'm running for Congress to fight for social, economic, and environmental justice. I have never run for office before because: 1) I don't lie 2) I can't be bought, and 3) I smoke weed. I was asked to run for this office by members of the progressive caucus. AMA!

I'm an attorney, an advocate, and a mom -- all things that make for a fierce fighter. I have practiced law in the public, private, and pro-bono sectors, and have always seen myself as an advocate for justice. "Justice is what love looks like in public." -- Dr. Cornel West

I'm a people-funded social democrat challenging a career corporatist. I believe that in order to return our country to a functioning republic, we must elect representatives who: 1) DO NOT TAKE CORPORATE MONEY, and 2) are not looking for a career. Our representatives cannot properly serve us if they are beholden to either corporate interests or themselves.

I am running on a populist left platform that prioritizes narrowing the income inequality gap and providing a social safety net for all people. While I believe in a robust consumer economy, I do not support unfettered predatory capitalism. In addition, I believe that we must remove the profit motive from healthcare, public education, and corrections. I believe our policy should be determined by science and reason, NOT religion and greed.

Our top three campaign priorities are:
