Miami Beach kicked off Pride season, and Senator Shevrin Jones, the first out gay and LGBTQ+ Black person in Florida’s Senate, soaked up every moment. Marching proudly in the parade, he waved rainbow flags and mingled with constituents. After a fun-filled day with Señor Don Julio, he got back to business. Jones announced his candidacy for Miami-Dade County Democratic chairman, unopposed. With an eye on the future, he’s positioned for greater leadership, eyeing a gubernatorial bid. His advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, critique of divisive politics, and role in Biden’s reelection efforts showcase his commitment to progress.
