Donna Milo is a Congressional candidate unlike any South Florida politics has seen.
Sure, she has a background similar to some of the most successful pols in the area. Her family fled from Cuba in the 1960s and arrived on Miami's shores with nothing.
Milo used hard work to start a successful construction company and has raised a family.
And by the way, she was once a he.

Transgendered Woman Kicks Off Congressional Campaign Against Wasserman Shultz

​Miami general contractor Donna Milo threw her hat into the ring this morning in the US 20th congressional district race against incumbent Democrat Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Milo's family, her website says, fled Cuba in the 1960s. She got married, raised a couple of kids. She runs her own small business and volunteers time to Domestic Violence causes. She flies small planes as a hobby. But it's this paragraph that might give conservative Republicans pause:
It is the firm belief in the principle honesty that allowed me to face my life's greatest challenge, to be true to myself, honest with my loved ones and to confront my true identity. After years of great pain and struggle, I finally came to terms with the decision to be who I am and to undergo gender re-assignment surgery.
