**Edit: I am responding starting at 6:30, live. I am also responding as fast as possible, but the down side of giving transparent answers without pre-canned responses is that answering takes a little longer. Thank you for the patience y'all!

Thank you for the patience y'all! **edit (2nd): I am answering questions that are different first, to ensure I cover as many topics as possible. I also go in-depth on my policy page: https://www.kinterforcongress.com/values-beliefs **Edit 3: Closing out at 8 PM! Answered a variety, and will cover these answers and more on my social media on the coming days, to reach community members who are not on reddit and may have the same questions. Thank you all for participating! Hi everyone, I’m Marialana Kinter, running for Congress in the Democratic primary in Florida’s 7th congressional district. My district covers the northern Orlando suburbs, including all Seminole County and southern Volusia County. I grew up on Medicaid and food assistance with a single mother and three siblings. Government support literally saved my life. I decided to give back to my country, and joined the Navy. I served on the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz as a nuclear supervisor. I enrolled in the University of Central Florida (UCF) and studied material science before changing majors to Political Science. Last year, my veterans program I was employed in was cut by Elon Musk’s DOGE. I decided to run to Congress because I am tired of seeing our politics run by corrupt politicians funded by billionaires. I am the only candidate in the race who is not taking corporate PAC money and foreign influence money (no AIPAC). I am running against Republican Representative Cory Mills. If you haven’t heard of the man, boy, are you in for a treat. Just Google him with the keywords “restraining order”, “Miss USA”, “arms dealer”, or “stolen valor” to start. Appropriately, he is endorsed by Trump. Mills is vulnerable, and I am proud to say that our campaign is ready to take him out. We have hundreds of volunteers and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. I was arrested protesting US military aid to Israel. We need to start spending public money on the American public. No more bombs, no more billionaires, and no more ballrooms. Yes to universal health care, protecting the Seminole county rural boundary, and universal college and vocational programs. On a personal level, I live in Oviedo with my husband, dogs, siblings and my nieces and nephews in a madhouse. I love to bike, hike, and spend time outdoors.
