Real World Vision

Based on his education, life and work experiences, Anthony Felix Jr. has a pragmatic yet progressive platform for improving the quality of life for the American people. 

"I have overcome the odds in my life, but with your help in 2020 we shall overcome our political oppression." 

There is an evolutionary shift occurring from career politicians to representation reflective of the public majority. Lifelong politicians are just not able to relate to the American public. It is important to note that it is not about having a name on the ballot, it is about having progressive values and leadership on the ballot.

I have always been willing to follow, but now I am adequately prepared to lead. I shall be the people’s weapon, and the people will be the strength that powers the weapon.

Some are fortunate enough to be born into the right life, while others come from humble beginnings and must create their own destiny. 

Political injustice shall be met with justice, and justice will right all the wrongs that have occurred throughout the duration of the current administration. This goes for other legislative policymakers as well. 

Prominent people often forget an undoubtable reality, that they have everything to lose. The only thing we have to lose is our oppression. I may lose if I run, but I will not win if I do not run.

As the 2020 elections approach, the need for innovative leadership in Congress only increases. I am asking for your support to help shape the future landscape of American politics to reflect who we are.
