Florida House District 16 Republican candidate Kiyan Michael, was endorsed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday.
“Kiyan Michael is an Angel Mom, military spouse & lifelong Jacksonville resident, said DeSantis on Tuesday via Twitter. “@kiyanforfl has stood with me in the fight against illegal immigration & will be a leader in the FL House as we fight Biden’s open border policies. I am proud to endorse her candidacy for HD 16.”
A lifelong resident of Jacksonville, Michael was most recently a member of the Advisory Board of Black Voices for Trump. In that role, she and her husband, Bobby, traveled the country in support of President Donald J. Trump’s 2020 Presidential race.
Kiyan is an “Angel Mom” due to the tragic death of her middle son Brandon who was killed in a car crash caused by an illegal alien who had been deported twice prior to the incident. The Michaels have been outspoken supporters of Governor DeSantis’ efforts to create stronger laws related to border security to keep other families from having to endure a similar tragedy.
“I am a political outsider with no ties to special interest groups in Tallahassee. My priorities are to give a voice to Angel Families like ours, to protect our state from illegal aliens, and help Governor Ron DeSantis to be re-elected in 2024,” said Michael in a press release.
“I’m pursuing this office because our families deserve an America First agenda. The pain that we experienced during our son’s tragedy will have purpose. Angel Families can no longer look to our elected officials. We must take action ourselves, and I look forward to sharing our story and message on the campaign trail in the upcoming year,” said Michael.
Kiyan has extensive grassroots experience in Duval County and throughout the United States working tirelessly for President Trump’s re-election campaign in 2020. Kiyan also previously served as the command ombudsman for the USS George Philip (FFG-12).
As the official liaison between the command and the families of crew members, Kiyan was in charge of providing support and guidance for those families while the ship was at sea. Kiyan’s husband Bobby retired after a career in the United States Navy.
Kiyan was previously endorsed by Sheriff David Clarke, Conservative activist Quisha King, And Former Lieutenant Governor Florida Jennifer S. Carroll.
