As a lifelong Floridian, former prosecutor, and financial regulatory attorney, Michael has built his career on defending the rule of law, practicing fiscal responsibility, and holding powerful interests accountable.

Michael was born on an Air Force base in Sherman, Texas, to a family shaped by sacrifice, resilience, and a deep love of country. His father, Vincent Arias Jr., immigrated to the United States in 1948 from the Philippines after his family survived the Japanese occupation during World War II, enduring the forced confiscation of their home and the loss of much that they had built. Like so many who fled tyranny and oppression, they came to America seeking freedom, security, and opportunity.

That love of country was also instilled in him by his mother, Rita, a descendant of Americans who served in both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. Rita shared stories passed down through generations that instilled pride in America’s founding ideals and enduring promise. Together, his parents’ histories reflect a uniquely modern American story: immigrant grit and determination alongside deep-rooted American legacy and pride.

Healthcare should be accessible and affordable, especially for our seniors who built this community.

While you balance your budget, Washington borrows $150 billion a month it doesn’t have, and you’re paying the price. Groceries, mortgages, credit cards, and car payments have surged because runaway federal spending fuels inflation and drives up interest rates, crushing family finances and saddling our children with debt. Reducing the federal budget is the single most direct thing Congress can do to bring prices down and restore opportunity for working families.
