Rep. Susan Plasencia (R) is such a useless Representative.

She hides from the public. She doesn’t engage with constituents. She has little or no social media. She rarely posts on FB, Instagram, or X. How she got elected is beyond me. She is the very epitome of an “empty suit” who votes the way DeSantis and the House leadership tell her to vote.

Here is one article from February that illustrates that. This woman needs to be voted out in 2026! East Orange County citizens, it’s time to mobilize against this clown!

A group of about a dozen university and college students, alumni and activists were locked out of Florida Rep. Susan Plasencia’s office Wednesday afternoon, as the group prepared to deliver a petition demanding Plasencia reverse her position on repealing in-state tuition rates for Florida students who are undocumented.
A repeal of Florida’s decade-old in-state tuition policy is being considered by Florida lawmakers this week as part of a broader immigration package the state Legislature is expected to pass as part of a special legislative session called by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.

If approved, and signed by the governor, legislation currently advancing would create a State Board of Immigration Enforcement — which the governor would be a part of — and establish a mandatory death penalty for undocumented immigrants found guilty of a capital offense, such as child rape or murder, among other things.

Plasencia is a second-term Republican state representative whose district includes Florida’s largest public university by student enrollment — the University of Central Florida. She wasn’t in her office off Aloma Avenue Wednesday (due to being up in Tallahassee), but legislative staff wouldn’t allow the students into her office building to speak to her staff. Nor would the handful of Orange County Sheriff’s Office deputies who stood guard outside.

According to Allison Minnerly, a UCF graduate and deputy executive director for the student advocacy group Youth Action Fund, deputies were waiting for them outside the building when they arrived, and doors to the public building were locked.
