My Bio
My name is Branden Scrivener, I’m a 27-year-old working class father of two. I have a bachelor’s in human services, along with internship experiences at Catholic Charities, Tampa Crossroads, Department of Child Services, and Flagler Education Foundation. I’ve also worked in healthcare for over three years. One of the main duties in my role is to secure insurance authorizations for patients. My experience has led me to work with a diverse group of people which has shown me firsthand our broken insurance system. I have experience advocating for my community and seeing our vulnerable populations difficulties directly. All this experience has led me to the same conclusion; our government policies are the source of many of our issues. For a while, I waited it out, thinking surely when “this” party won things would be different. I’ve watched the administrations and party affiliations change, and yet the systems which created our issues seem to rarely change. I’ve decided to stop wishing for someone to change things and become the change I want to see.
Members of the U.S. House of Representatives write and vote on federal laws, including the federal budget. Each represents one district and serves a two-year term. Tax bills must start in the House, only the House can impeach federal officials, and members oversee federal agencies through their committees.
