Press Release

State Sens. Oscar Braynon of Miami Gardens, Anitere Flores of Miami issue joint statement and an apology

Statement comes after an anonymous website claimed to have photographic evidence of an affair between the two.

| 1/9/2018

Here’s the joint statement by Flores and Braynon, which was emailed out by Jenna Sarkissian, the deputy director of public relations for Sachs Media Group, at about 9:30 a.m.:

"As this 2018 session of the Florida Legislature gets underway, we do not want gossip and rumors to distract from the important business of the people. That's why we are issuing this brief statement to acknowledge that our longtime friendship evolved to a level that we deeply regret. We have sought the forgiveness of our families, and also seek the forgiveness of our constituents and God. We ask everyone else to respect and provide our families the privacy that they deserve as we move past this to focus on the important work ahead."
