Laura Loomer announces her candidacy for Florida's 21st congressional district, arguing that silencing journalists who confront elites endangers America. Citing bans from social media, Uber, and Lyft after investigating Hillary Clinton and Ilhan Omar, she notes that contacting Congress yielded no replies. This lack of access drove her decision to run for office to provide representation that actually listens to American concerns, framing free speech defense as essential to political survival.

Hi, I'm Laura Loomer, and I'm running for Congress in Florida's 21st congressional district.

Wouldn't it be horrible if we lived in a nation where journalists were silenced just because they confronted the political and media elite?

You might think that could never happen in America, but it did.

And to me.

For confronting people like Hillary Clinton on her corruption and Ilhan Omar for her ties to radical Islamic terror groups, I have been banned on pretty much every single social media platform.

And if that doesn't sound extreme enough, I'm also banned on Uber and Lyft.

I know, I cannot understand that last one either.

When this all happened to me, I contacted the media and members of Congress.

I asked them for help.

I kept calling, I kept emailing, but I never received a reply.

And that's when it hit me.

I'm a well-known journalist who has the phone numbers of the most powerful people in politics and media, yet I couldn't get any assistance.

What on earth would the average American do if the same thing happened to them?

I realized then that if I wanted to see change, that I would need to run for office.

The American people deserve representation that listens to and acts on their concerns.
