From Pine Hills to Eatonville, Orlo Vista to College Park, District 7 is a mix of neighborhoods. They all share one thing: people who deserve a county that shows up for them. This is the place we're fighting for.
Every neighborhood has its own story, its own needs, and its own people worth fighting for.

"When neighbors sit in a circle and talk honestly about rent, floods, and safety, you stop seeing problems and start seeing each other."
— Community listening session, District 7
Rent keeps going up. Families who built this community are being forced out. If you work here, you should be able to afford to live here.
When big storms hit, the same streets flood year after year. The neighborhoods that flood first should not be the last ones to get help.
Long waits, short hours, and missing bus routes make it hard to get to work, the doctor, and school. When it's easy to get around, more doors open.
Real safety means helping people before harm happens, with trained crisis teams and trust, not just police after the fact.
Aaron Emmanuel Lewis grew up in Orlando. This community raised him, and now he's working for its future. He served in the Army as a cavalry scout. He ran a nonprofit that helped people facing homelessness and abuse. And he has served on local boards that take on Orange County's toughest problems.
Aaron co-founded and leads the Framily Support Network. For years, he has helped families find a way out of poverty. He has also stood with neighbors to protect the places they love, like Split Oak Forest, from being paved over.
That's why he's running for Orange County Commissioner, District 7. Not for a title. For a community that deserves better.

Our seniors deserve comfort, safety, and company. Aaron will push for more affordable senior housing, better rides to stores and clinics, and community centers that double as safe places during storms.
No parent should have to choose between their job and their family. Aaron will fight for affordable childcare, stronger family centers, and parks where kids can play safely.
Every child deserves a safe place to grow and dream. Aaron will pay for after-school, arts, and esports programs, push for safer school crossings, and make sure mental health help is there when it's needed.
No one should be left outside with nowhere to turn. Aaron will fight for shelters that are easy to enter, shared housing, and outreach teams that meet homelessness with care and action.
