The legislature has taken us in a dangerous direction and turned our classrooms into political battlefields. I’m fighting back and running for Florida Senate to give our community HOPE that we can still elect people who care about helping people. Together we win in 2024.

This weekend, we stand with the Historic Town of Eatonville as we mourn the passing of former Mayor Eddie Cole. Mayor Cole led with love, compassion, and a deep commitment to uplifting others, serving his community for decades as a public servant, coach, and trusted leader.

Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s

Senator @CarlosGSmith SB 776: Home Cultivation of Marijuana now has committee assignments!#HomeCultivation #RightToGrow

LAST DAY! #TeamCarlos is hosting a Diaper Drive to support families in need through the Central Florida Diaper Bank. Let’s come together to ensure every baby in our community has the essentials they deserve.

“Much of the state money was intended to assist needy Floridians, including children. Instead, it paid for political consultants, lawyers and thousands of advertisements that helped DeSantis and his supporters win at the ballot box.” https://t.co/t9eqAcDQfK

NEW: The DeSantis administration unapologetically spent $36 MILLION in public money on political ads in 2024. 79% came from our healthcare funds. $10 million was STOLEN from Medicaid and illegally laundered thru Hope Florida. Where is DOGE and who is going to prison???

NEW: Ron DeSantis’ administration took millions in taxpayer dollars intended to assist needy Floridians, including children, to defeat last year’s marijuana and abortion amendments. His officials bent state procurement laws in the process. https://t.co/5pgdOqfvxx

“The state senators have been increasingly on edge in recent weeks as they endured intimidation — political and physical — and a stream of hoax police reports that seemed designed to draw large law enforcement responses to their homes.”

Medical marijuana patients in Florida deserve the FREEDOM to home-grow cannabis without government interference— that’s why I’ve introduced SB 776. With rising prices, we can increase access and lower costs by supporting this long overdue proposal. https://t.co/NwvWuysobg

REMINDER! #TeamCarlos is hosting a Holiday Toy Drive to support local charities and families right here in our community. Let’s come together to bring some extra joy to kids this holiday season!

A Florida senator filed a bill to legalize home cultivation of medical cannabis, allowing patients to grow up to six plants for themselves and to purchase marijuana seeds and clones from dispensaries. @CarlosGSmith https://t.co/lTHXQhnahx

The energy at @MadSoulFest was unreal. Standing on stage + speaking directly to a generation that’s organizing, voting, + building people power gives me hope. Thank you, @MaxwellFrostFL, for creating space for artists to not just to entertain—but inspire our community to action!

The $10 MILLION they stole from taxpayers landed in a PAC controlled by our un-elected Attorney General Uthmeier, who spend it on campaign ads. Criminal behavior. The grand jury investigation continues….. https://t.co/Eu8jmDL5EG

When the DeSantis administration got caught stealing, then laundering $10 MILLION into Hope Florida from a Medicaid fraud settlement, they insisted it wasn’t Medicaid money—-new developments show THEY LIED. 👀

It's obvious that Alligator Alcatraz is a $450 million boondoggle for certain contractors. One #Florida senator, @CarlosGSmith, wants to restore transparency and limit how long a governor can keep a "state of emergency" to bypass procurement rules.

It’s just another day in Florida where a healthcare worker and U.S. citizen in medical scrubs is pulled out of her car and terrorized by masked ICE agents. We filed SB 316 to prohibit masked immigration actions and to require law enforcement be clearly identified.
