Improve Educational Outcomes for District 107 Students
Education

The Promise
"I will fight to improve educational outcomes for every student in District 107 by expanding support programs for struggling schools and reducing cost barriers to education."
Campaign
Campaign platform · BallotReady · 2024
The Record
Sponsored HB 1543, the Schools of Hope bill, which would have expanded support programs for struggling schools in underserved communities — directly aligned with his 35-year career as an educator and former principal of Miami Northwestern Senior High School (Principal of the Year 2014). The bill died in the Education Administration Subcommittee. Also sponsored HB 1273 (Fee Waivers) targeting educational cost barriers. Serves on the Education & Employment Committee, Education Administration Subcommittee, and Higher Education Budget Subcommittee — using committee work to push education priorities even when standalone bills don't advance.

The Record
The Historic Cemeteries Program (HB 425) which Aristide successfully passed into law directly supports economic development by allowing historic African-American cemetery sites to develop excess adjacent land in ways compatible with the surrounding community — unlocking economic potential for historically underserved areas in District 107. Aristide serves on the Education & Employment Committee and the Government Operations Subcommittee where he engages economic and workforce policy directly. Broader standalone economic development legislation did not advance in 2025 or 2026.

Pursue Affordable Housing Legislation for District 107 Residents
Housing
○ Pending
The Promise
"As a State Representative, Wallace will seek the best options and legislation to obtain affordable housing in District 107."
Campaign
Campaign platform · BallotReady · 2024
The Record
Sponsored HB 1541 relating to community associations in 2026, which has indirect implications for housing policy, but the bill's direct connection to affordable housing is limited. HB 1273 (Fee Waivers) primarily targets educational cost barriers rather than housing affordability. No standalone affordable housing bill was introduced by Aristide in either session. As a first-term minority-party legislator in a Republican supermajority House, advancing affordable housing legislation faces significant structural barriers. No direct affordable housing bill has been filed to date.

Develop Plans to Ensure the Safety of District 107 Youth
Public Safety
◐ Partial
The Promise
"Wallace will work to develop plans to ensure the safety of our youth, loved ones, and businesses as the House Representative of District 107."
Campaign
Campaign platform · BallotReady · 2024
The Record
Sponsored HB 1539, requiring mandatory blood testing following civilian-involved shootings — a public safety and accountability measure. The bill died in the Criminal Justice Subcommittee in the Republican-controlled House. Co-sponsored HB 277 (Domestic Violence and Protective Injunctions), which advanced through the chamber — its final status should be verified to determine if it was signed into law. While these bills address general public safety, neither is specifically targeted at youth safety programs. No standalone youth-focused safety legislation was filed.

The Record
Sponsored CS/CS/HB 425, the Historic Cemeteries Program, requiring local governments to approve applications from historic African-American cemeteries to change land use categories and zoning for excess vacant land, allowing development consistent with adjacent land uses. The bill passed through multiple committee substitutes reflecting bipartisan refinement, was ordered enrolled on March 12, 2026, and is now law. Co-sponsored by Representatives Campbell, Driskell, Eskamani, and Harris. As a 35-year educator and member of 100 Black Men of South Florida, Aristide has deep roots in preserving Black history and community assets.
