“I accepted the invitation to emcee the Palm Beach Ray of Hope Gala — an evening dedicated to honoring and uplifting our frontline heroes. This nonpartisan event supports The Academy for Nursing and Health Occupations, a 501(c)(3) organization that trains 350-400 nurses every year, directly addressing the critical shortage of healthcare professionals in Palm Beach County,” he said in a statement on Instagram.
He added, “Supporting nurses isn’t political — it’s essential. These are the people who care for us and our families when we need it most, and I believe we should show up for them with the same unwavering dedication they show up with every single day. I stand by the importance of healthcare, of service, and of investing in those who care for our communities.”
“My values and political views remain unchanged and if you don’t donate to Palm Beach Ray of Hope, then please consider donating to [Democracy Forward],” he concluded, including a link to the organization, which is a “national legal organization that advances democracy and social progress through litigation, policy and public education, and regulatory engagement.”
