Saunders says voters are primarily concerned with jobs and education
and "just want to know the game isn't rigged" in Tallahassee, which has
been controlled by Republican super-majorities for the past two years.
He says that while progressives are excited about the possibility of
electing the first openly gay lawmaker, the district at large has
broader concerns he is focused on.
"I think it's a district that has such diversity in ethnicity and
backgrounds and income levels," Saunders said. "It's a seat that wants
to be represented by someone who can bring people together and solve
problems."
Saunders will face fellow Democrat Shayan Elahi, 40, a lawyer who
represented Occupy Orlando protesters and the Food Not Bombs organizers
arrested for feeding the homeless in Eola Park.
Elahi is battling against some of the Democratic Party's traditional
donor bases, but says he's more qualified for the job based on his
experience – not just as a civil rights lawyer, but also working for
Walt Disney Internet Group and Universal Music Group in California.
"I'm the only Democratic candidate who lives in the district," Elahi
said. Saunders said he recently moved in with his twin brother who lives
near the UCF campus.
Elahi called Saunders "a recent graduate who has basically been a
single-issue fundraiser and advocate," referring to his work for
Equality Florida, as well as campaign work he did for another gay-rights
campaign in Gainesville and as field director working against the
same-sex marriage constitutional ban voters adopted in 2008.
