The 22-Year-Old Running to Flip a Boca Raton District, One Door at a Time
Indivisible Boca Raton reached out to candidates running for Florida state legislative seats who support democratic values and the protection of our democracy to give voters a direct opportunity to hear their platforms. Candidate forums should not be interpreted as endorsements.
Meet Alexander Lambridis
Alexander Lambridis is 22, a working-class college student studying political science at FAU, and a first-time candidate for Florida House District 91, which covers most of Boca Raton, Highland Beach, and Delray Beach. His opponent is Republican incumbent Peggy Gossett-Seidman.
Politics has been part of Alexander's life since childhood. His father served as president of his ACLU chapter, and political conversation was a fixture at the family dinner table. He's been involved in Palm Beach County politics for three years and says he has never once seen the incumbent show up. That absence is part of what pushed him to run. The other part is what's been happening on his own campus and across District 91.
An issue that hits close to home
Lambridis and other FAU students have spent months trying to get answers about the 287(g) agreement their campus operates under, a program that allows Florida Highway Patrol and local police to share information with ICE and function effectively as immigration enforcement agents. Students scheduled meetings with FAU police chief Sean Raynor three separate times. He didn't show up to any of them. FAU President Adam Hasner, a former GEO Group executive, hasn't provided any information either. GEO Group is the largest contractor operating detention centers all over the country for ICE. Lambridis says that they also donate to Gossett-Seidman's campaign.
Lambridis called for the 287(g) agreement to be abolished and cited conversations with FHP officers who told him directly that they don't want to be doing immigration enforcement work. Their job, they said, is community safety.
The Full Platform
The 287(g) agreement is one of three issues Lambridis is running on. The other two are equally grounded in what he sees happening in the district.
On housing insurance, he's proposing a state-subsidized public option for home and wind insurance. His model comes from time he spent living in Coastal Carolina, where a public option created competition that drove down rates across the board, including on private plans, and kept lower and middle class families from being priced out of their homes after storms. In Florida, he says, denial rates after recent hurricanes hit the 50th percentile. People lost homes they owned. A public option addresses that directly, and the savings ripple into local economies, into businesses like those on Mizner Park and Atlantic Avenue.
On home rule, he wants residents to have a direct voice in decisions about zoning, parks, and local infrastructure, decisions that currently get made in Tallahassee by politicians he says are accountable to donors, not constituents. He told the forum that Florida lacking any meaningful home rule protections in 2026 is something that simply should not be the case.
He also took a question from the audience on civic access, specifically the fact that Palm Beach County commission meetings happen on Tuesday afternoons, effectively excluding anyone who works or goes to school. Lambridis called it a structural barrier driving voter apathy among young people and committed to advocating for moving government meetings to Fridays and weekends.
What Alexander is Building
Gossett-Seidman, Lambridis says, takes money from GEO Group and Chevron and has been absent from the community throughout his three years in local politics. He's running on the explicit contrast: no super PAC money, a public forum on his website for constituents to tell him what they need, and a volunteer operation that stretches from Tallahassee to Miami, college students knocking doors, text banking, and phone banking because, as he puts it, this district deserves better and he believes it can be flipped.
He's 22, he lives in the district, and he has a personal stake in every issue he's running on. Watch the video and judge for yourself.
