An immigrant who arrived in the United States from Haiti in 1981 speaking very little English, Maxime frames his life as a reflection of the American Dream. After working low-wage jobs as a dishwasher and landscaper, he went on to build a decades-long career in Broward County. "Service over Politics, Solutions over Promises," Maxime positions himself as a community-rooted, populist alternative to major-party establishment candidates.

Thinking for yourself matters

Position on major issues

Civil rights and freedoms

Protecting Minority Representation: A lifelong Democrat who chose to run as an independent, Maxime argues that high-profile incumbents from outside the community disrupt the local political pipeline. He maintains that Florida's 20th Congressional District—historically a seat with significant Black and minority representation—must remain championed by a leader deeply tied to its neighborhood roots.

Economy, jobs and wages

Affordability and Inflation: Pointing back to his experience working multiple jobs to stay afloat, Maxime prioritizes pocketbook relief. He advocates for federal frameworks designed to bring down the skyrocketing costs of property insurance, fuel, everyday groceries, and affordable housing.

Families are being squeezed by housing, groceries, insurance, and healthcare. Dr. Maxime will fight to bring costs down and open real pathways to ownership and long-term wealth.

Healthcare

Seniors rationing insulin. Parents skipping their own care. Families going bankrupt from a single hospital bill. Dr. Maxime will fight to lower drug costs.

Immigration
