Donna Milo -- a Cuban-American, conservative Republican, transgender woman running for Congress -- says she doesn't like labels.
``I'm an American. I make my way on the basis of ability. My triumphs are based on my abilities, not on a label or a crutch,'' said Milo, a Miami Planning Advisory Board member running to replace U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Weston, one of the House's most liberal Democrats.
