House Speaker Daniel Perez reaches term limits in 2026, and medical speech-language pathologist Ashley Perez-Biliskov wants to ensure his House District 116 seat remains in conservative control.
Perez-Biliskov, a first-generation Cuban American and mother of two, is the first candidate to file to succeed Perez.
“We live in a very special place, where freedom-loving patriots know that American values make for strong, vibrant and successful communities,” she said. “I’m excited to share our conservative vision for Florida.”
HD 116 covers a center-west portion of Miami-Dade, including part of Sweetwater and swaths of the county’s unincorporated Kendall, Sunset and Tamiami neighborhoods.
