Ken Russell - "The Uncontaminated Candidate” - Miami City Commissioner Running for US Senate

Ken Russell had a dream job, traveling the world kite-surfing and
paddle boarding with is watersports company, when he got involved
with the cleanup of the city park across the street from his
Miami home. That civic engagement resulted in a run for office
and a hard pivot from entrepreneur to his current position as
Vice-Chairman of the Miami City Commission, recently re-elected
in November 2019 for a second term. He entered Miami politics in
2015 with an optimistic view on positive change, and during his
first term, Commissioner Russell was successful in passing
legislation that supported resilience infrastructure, affordable
housing creation, government transparency, and strong wages. He
was instrumental in passing the Miami Forever Bond, which will
invest $400 million into housing, parks, streets and flood
mitigation throughout the city. Now seasoned in the blood sport
of politics, Ken retains his jovial spirit and positive outlook,
as he leans into a run at Marco Rubio's Senate seat. Swan Dive
host, Stuart Sheldon, one of Russell's constituents, firmly
believes that this amiable, Japanese-American, father of three,
former YoYo champion,  ukulele playing, wood sculpting
renaissance man would make a fine Senator ... with both the
policy chops and disarming persona to make Washington a less
vicious and toxic place. To learn more, click here.
