"I am an optimist. Florida is a beautiful State. The nature and climate is fantastic. Many do well here. But all Floridians also see and know that we have too many Floridians -- good people, hard working people -- who are barely making it or not making it at all. They are actually the working poor. They don't make enough money to afford childcare even if they work 2 or 3 jobs.

"Others can't afford an apartment. If they are lucky they pile up with other families or join the community of the 'shadow homeless'. Meanwhile too many Floridians among the middle class live in fear of losing their homes -- unable to afford increasing property taxes and property insurance and car insurance. Among the retired elderly with a modest retirement income, they face skyrocketing condo assessments, forcing many of these modest-income seniors to sell the condo they purchased years ago or face foreclosure and bankruptcy.

"Two-parent households and single moms and dads are unable to afford the childcare services they need so they can work to support their families. Children with epilepsy, autism and other special needs suffer from insufficient services they need and all of Florida's children live in fear of a shooter coming into their school to hurt them.

"We have enormous opportunities in Florida. Small businesses and entrepreneurs are central to Florida's future and are important partners in moving Florida into its best future. We have a strong talent pool of young people in our schools and universities ready to build an even brighter future.

For these reasons and many others, including women's rights, I feel compelled to announce my intention to run for Governor of Florida in 2026," emphasized Evelyn.

Evelyn Castillo-Bach is a registered Independent voter.
