MARIALANA KINTER

Running for Congress in Florida’s 7th District

FL-07 HAS BEEN LIVING UNDER A POLITICAL BIOHAZARD — AND MARIALANA KINTER IS THE FIRST ONE WITH THE COURAGE TO CLEAN IT UP

Florida’s 7th District has spent years trapped under Cory Mills, a walking ethics violation cosplaying a congressman — a man who somehow manages to be both useless and dangerous in the same 24-hour cycle. This is a guy currently juggling a court-ordered restraining order, a House Ethics investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct, financial crimes, and misuse of office, like he’s treating criminal allegations as a CrossFit routine. And Republicans still call him “one of the most vulnerable in the House,” which is the GOP’s polite way of saying “we should’ve cut this guy loose three indictments ago.” Into this moral sewage walks Marialana Kinter, a Navy veteran and former Nuclear Reactor Supervisor — someone whose day job used to be preventing actual meltdowns, which makes her uniquely qualified to replace the human meltdown presently holding the seat.

Kinter isn’t playing pretend populism or “I shook a veteran’s hand once, now vote for me” patriot cosplay. She’s running the kind of campaign that terrifies the political class because it doesn’t need their money, their permission, or their approval. 100% grassroots. Zero corporate cash. Zero AIPAC dollars. She’s accountable only to the people who actually live in FL-07, not the lobbyists who treat Congress like an auction house. And she isn’t sitting around waiting for votes to magically appear — she’s out doing mutual aid right now: food drives, clothing drives, community activism, clean-ups. While her opponent is being investigated for abusing his office, she’s out in the community cleaning up the literal messes the government refuses to touch.

And let’s be clear: Kinter isn’t your average “vet running for office” trope. She ran a nuclear reactor. That means she knows what pressure looks like. She knows what failure costs. She knows what integrity requires. Mills knows how to dodge accountability and pose with guns in campaign ads. Those are not the same skill set. Kinter’s entire platform is built on protecting working-class families, rebuilding trust in local communities, and refusing to sell her soul for a corporate donation. Mills’ platform is built on “I hope this restraining order doesn’t ruin my reelection chances.” She doesn’t need to embellish a damn thing — reality already did the contrast for her.

So FL-07, this is your moment. You can keep letting a scandal-addicted grifter drag your district through headlines that read like rejected plotlines from a bad political thriller. Or you can elect Marialana Kinter, the only candidate in this race who isn’t compromised, controlled, corrupt, or cowed. She isn’t running to climb a ladder — she’s running to rip Mills’ rot out by the roots and replace it with competence, accountability, and an actual beating human heart. If this district wants to flip from embarrassment to empowerment, this is how you do it. Vote for the woman who knows how to prevent meltdowns — not the guy living inside one.
