In this powerful episode of Voices of Florida House District 14: Love Thy Neighborhood, we sit down with passionate advocate and former Florida House District 16 candidate Rachel Grage, whose tireless work continues to amplify the voices of everyday Floridians. A Jacksonville resident, Rachel has built a trusted platform that educates and empowers her community on the issues that matter most—rising insurance premiums, housing instability, healthcare access, public education, and the preservation of Florida’s natural environment.

Rachel joins host Therese V. Wakefield-Gamble to talk about her first time running for office in 2024, and after not making the mark to secure the seat, what was next for Rachel after all the energy from running as a FL State House District 16 Candidate. Rachel for Florida is where Rachel break down the legislative noise in Tallahassee and offer insight into how citizens can stay informed and get engaged—especially when political gridlock overshadows people’s needs. With a rich background in science, the arts, and decades of family caregiving, Rachel brings a unique blend of intellect, empathy, and lived experience to Florida’s civic discourse.

Now serving as Legislative Liaison for the Democratic Women’s Club of Florida, Rachel remains an active voice through her Rachel for Florida pages on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube—where she continues to decode policy, connect with constituents, and speak truth to power. Her unwavering mission: show up, speak out, and keep fighting for a Florida that puts people over politics.
