Pia Dandiya, an ex-educator and White House Fellow, is running to unseat Republican U.S. Rep. Brian Mast in Florida’s 21st Congressional District.
A Palm Beach Gardens Democrat who now leads public sector initiatives at Apple, Dandiya announced her candidacy this week, emphasizing a platform centered on economic opportunity, public education and protecting Social Security and Medicare.
She criticized Mast for supporting policies she argues harm small businesses and veterans.
She vowed to bring “people-first” leadership to Washington.
“Now more than ever,” she said, “we need leaders in Washington with a proven track record of putting the American people first.”
