The point of this tracker (and what it isn’t)
Let’s be clear.
This post is not me claiming I can “prove copying” in a courtroom just by looking at public bills. Bills are public. Ideas are debated. Policy overlaps happen.
But what I can do — and what I will do — is document when Tallahassee starts sprinting into lanes I’ve been publicly pushing while Miami-Dade residents are still dealing with real-world problems that career politicians keep “studying” instead of solving.
So this is a receipt log — and a trend-chaser spotlight.
And per my rules:
- Democrats get the roast.
- Republicans get tracked — handled differently.
The Democrat Roast List (Public Officials Only)
1) Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith (D) — Plant-count politics
Bill: S 776 — “Home Cultivation of Marijuana” (Introduced in 2026) (The Florida Senate)
Senator Smith is a Democrat. (The Florida Senate) And in 2026 filings, he introduces S 776 (Home Cultivation of Marijuana). (The Florida Senate)
Roast (policy edition): This is the classic Tallahassee move: Take a real issue people care about… then reduce it into a headline number game and pretend that’s leadership.
It’s like they discovered governing is just:
- pick a number,
- print a title,
- and call it “progress.”
Meanwhile, Miami-Dade families don’t need number-theater. They need:
- clear rules,
- enforcement that doesn’t harass people,
- and a framework that doesn’t collapse the second the cameras show up.
Because if your entire policy plan fits on a bumper sticker, it’s usually because it was designed for TV — not for real life.
2) Senator Darryl Ervin Rouson (D) — Crypto & kiosks: “We just found the internet”
Senator Rouson is a Democrat. (The Florida Senate) Bill: S 198 — “Virtual Currency Kiosks” (On committee agenda Jan 28, 2026 per Senate tracker) (The Florida Senate)
Roast (policy edition): Tallahassee loves doing this thing where they show up late to a modern topic and act like they invented the concept.
“Virtual currency kiosks” is basically:
We have discovered people do financial things… digitally… outside of our usual script.
The reality is: Crypto-related systems aren’t new. Scams aren’t new. Consumer protection isn’t new.
What’s new is politicians treating basic modern infrastructure like it’s alien technology, then using that “confusion” as an excuse to either overregulate the public or underregulate the connected.
Miami-Dade doesn’t need confused headlines. It needs:
- modern literacy,
- modern enforcement,
- modern transparency.
Not “we just found a kiosk, so now we’re lawmakers.”
3) Rep. Dan Daley (D) — Blockchain language goes mainstream
Bill: HB 505 — “Money Services Businesses” Listed as Co-Introducer: Daley, D. (The Florida Senate) Rep. Dan Daley is a Democrat (Florida House list). (Florida House of Representatives)
Roast (policy edition): This is the part where Democrats love to pretend they’re “future-ready” because a bill contains words like:
- wallets
- hashes
- distributed ledgers
- compliance frameworks
But here’s the comedy:
They’ll adopt the vocabulary after the public already forced the conversation… then act like they’re “leading” because they finally typed the words into a PDF.
That’s not leadership. That’s autocomplete governance.
Miami-Dade needs leaders who build systems that work before the crisis — not after the trend is safe enough to put on paper.
4) Rep. Debra Tendrich (D) — Same bill, same trend
HB 505 also lists Tendrich as a co-introducer. (The Florida Senate) Rep. Debra Tendrich is a Democrat (Florida House list). (Florida House of Representatives)
Roast (policy edition): This is where Tallahassee Democrats do the “look, I’m modern” cosplay:
Step 1: Wait until the technology is unavoidable. Step 2: Copy the language into legislative formatting. Step 3: Pose like you were early.
It’s like showing up to a hurricane after the storm passed and announcing:
“I am introducing the concept of umbrellas.”
Florida residents want modern governance that protects people and empowers innovation — without political theater.
5) Rep. Jose Alvarez (D) & Rep. Allison Tant (D) — Autonomy carve-outs sliding into “normal bills”
Bill: HB 1241 — “Hands-free Driving” (Sponsor: Blanco; Co-introducers include Alvarez, J. and Tant, A.) (The Florida Senate) Rep. Jose Alvarez is a Democrat. (Florida House of Representatives) Rep. Allison Tant is a Democrat. (Florida House of Representatives)
Roast (policy edition): This is how big shifts happen in government: not with an honest public debate, but by slipping “future exceptions” into “simple bills.”
Hands-free today. Autonomous carve-outs tomorrow. Then suddenly everyone acts surprised when robot fleets roll in and residents ask:
“Wait… who approved this runway?”
That’s why I keep saying: Miami-Dade should draw hard lines where needed — local control, local jobs protected, local rules enforced.
Because if you don’t set policy early, corporations set it for you.
Republicans (Tracked Only — Handled Differently)
No roast here. Just receipts and watch-listing.
Senator Nick DiCeglie — S 654 “Traffic Infraction Enforcement”
S 654 shows GENERAL BILL by DiCeglie. (The Florida Senate) DiCeglie is listed as Republican on his Senate profile.
Rep. Bradford Troy “Brad” Yeager — HB 521 “Traffic Infraction Detectors”
HB 521 shows GENERAL BILL by Yeager. (The Florida Senate) Yeager is Republican (Florida House list). (Florida House of Representatives)
Senator Corey Simon Leek — SB 482 “Artificial Intelligence Bill of Rights”
SB 482 shows GENERAL BILL by Leek. (The Florida Senate) Leek is Republican (Senate profile). (The Florida Senate)
Rep. Tyler Sirois — HB 133 “Firearm Purchase”
HB 133 shows GENERAL BILL by Sirois. (The Florida Senate) Sirois is Republican (Florida House list). (Florida House of Representatives)
Rep. Omar Blanco — HB 1241 “Hands-free Driving”
HB 1241 shows GENERAL BILL by Blanco. (The Florida Senate) Blanco is Republican (Florida House list). (Florida House of Representatives)
HB 505 sponsor: Rep. Michael Owen — Money Services Businesses
HB 505 shows GENERAL BILL by Owen. (The Florida Senate) Owen is Republican (Florida House list). (Florida House of Representatives)
(Again: tracked, not roasted.)
Republicans are my colleagues — we’re on the same team. That’s why I’m documenting these Republican filings without the roast. I believe in professional respect, good-faith collaboration, and backing leaders who bring real solutions to Florida. And as this campaign grows, I also look forward to the lawful support and respective campaign donations from my Republican colleagues and allies who want to help power this mission forward.
What this means for Miami-Dade
Here’s the real message:
When Tallahassee starts filing bills that overlap with the conversations I’ve been driving, it proves one thing:
The pressure works. The public spotlight works. The ideas are strong enough that people in power start circling them.
But Miami-Dade residents don’t benefit from “me too” bills filed far away if local leadership still refuses to:
- cut corruption lanes,
- stop abusive enforcement machines,
- modernize the system with transparency,
- and protect working people from displacement.
That’s why I’m running.
Because Miami-Dade doesn’t need trend-chasers. Miami-Dade needs builders.
