I live in Lake Worth Beach, and my community represents what Florida means to me.

It’s diverse yet connected. It’s artsy and fun. It’s peaceful, warm and welcoming, and everyone contributes to the community. This is the Florida I love, and find myself compelled to defend and protect.

I discovered Palm Beach County in 2015, and after visiting for several years - and not wanting to leave - I moved to Lake Worth Beach permanently in 2021. I’ve been a local activist, protesting right-wing extremism, canvassing for Democratic candidates, and helping "cure the vote" after voters' mail-in ballots were rejected, all the while working full-time as an attorney.

Being an attorney in the middle of an arts community might seem like an odd fit, but my work revolved around intellectual property, which is the legal term for people’s creative ideas. My job was to protect American originality, creativity and innovation in the global IP marketplace, and IP is the most valuable asset of most innovation-driven companies. Can you imagine the value of the Disney, Amazon, and Coca-Cola brand names to name a few? Immense!

Moreover, as a lawyer at major law firms in NYC and Florida, I had to know the law, follow the law, and counsel clients candidly about the law. Many of our current elected officials seem to have forgotten the basics of the rule of law in our country and their role as lawmakers.

So why me? The Democrats need high energy, creative fighters right now and our current representative, Lois Frankel, is not meeting the moment. She seems content to do the bare minimum, while begging voters to re-elect her so she can “hold the line” – yet the line has moved so dramatically to the right during her tenure, with threats to democracy and the American way of life growing exponentially with each passing month, diminished personal liberties, and increasing unaffordability, it is not enough. 

I’m Victoria Doyle, and if you want to see someone in Congress who will fight like hell to improve your economic well-being, protect your individual rights, your Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and the very existence of essential agencies like NOAA and FEMA in our hurricane-prone state, then I’m your candidate. I’ll also take on the powers that be who keep hurting the vulnerable, chain-sawing government, and damaging the economy with arbitrary tariffs, unaffordable tax cuts on the people and businesses who need them least, and who all but promote political violence and hate-fueled division among ourselves and our neighbors.
