Isabella Cerqueira

A Fresh Voice. Uncompromising Integrity.

Born and raised in the heart of our community, Isabella Cerqueira is a dedicated mentor and Polk County neighbor running for State Representative to bring real, uncorrupted leadership to Tallahassee. Far too often, career politicians have traded the public trust for special interest favors, leaving local families to face rising housing costs, underfunded classrooms, and gridlocked infrastructure alone. Isabella is running a true grassroots campaign—without corporate PAC money—focused entirely on restoring financial transparency, protecting our public school resources, and ensuring our neighborhoods come first.

Real Change Starts With Us.

Our Priorities

Prioritizing Our Classrooms, Mentorship & High-Wage Pipelines

Smart, Infrastructure-First Growth

Restoring Trust & Public Integrity

As a local mentor with a strong belief in education, Isabella knows that preparing our youth for the future requires real-world solutions. She will fight to protect public school funding and support our teachers, but her vision goes further. Isabella is championing a new initiative to forge direct partnerships between our education system and local companies. By building strong mentorship networks and corporate apprenticeship pipelines, we can equip students with high-demand skills and secure direct pathways to better-paying jobs right here in Polk County. Strong schools and thriving business partnerships are the key to lifting wages and keeping our economy strong.

Uncontrolled corporate development is choking our local roads and overwhelming public utilities from Winter Haven to Poinciana. Isabella believes that growth must serve the community, not just out-of-state developer profits. She supports common-sense, infrastructure-first policies that prioritize expanding regional roads, securing our water supply, and equipping our local first responders before massive new zoning subdivisions are approved. It's time to build a sustainable future that protects the quality of life for our current residents.

District 48 deserves a representative with an unblemished record of trust who respects the value of every single taxpayer dollar. While the political establishment plays insider games, Isabella is running a completely clean, grassroots campaign free from corporate PAC influence. She is dedicated to establishing full transparency in public budgeting and ensuring that community leaders are strictly accountable for the funds they oversee. Her focus is entirely on protecting our neighborhoods and delivering honest public service you can rely on.

My Promises

My Core Promises to District 48!

Strict, Accountable Financial Audits: I promise to vote for independent, mandatory audits on all state-funded development and transportation projects in Polk County. By forcing full transparency on how public money is allocated, we will permanently stop corporate developer waste, eliminate backroom insider deals, and ensure your hard-earned tax dollars are used exclusively to fix our gridlocked roads and infrastructure.

Absolute Protection of Public and Student Resources: I promise to champion legislation that increases severe legal penalties for anyone who mismanages, misallocates, or embezzles funds intended for our local public schools, teachers, and student-athletes. As a leader and mentor, I will never tolerate the abuse of resources meant for our children’s classrooms or high-wage corporate career partnerships.

Absolute Rejection of Corporate PAC Money: I promise to refuse all corporate PAC donations, special interest checks, and out-of-state lobbyist funding throughout my service. My campaign is fueled 100% by everyday neighbors, meaning my decisions, policy priorities, and votes in the State House will always answer directly to you, not wealthy political insiders.
