Meet Daryl

Daryl Parks was raised by hardworking parents who taught him to work hard and look out for his family. Growing up he saw how people had barriers in their way to progress, and knew he had to find a way to ensure people could get ahead.

So he worked his way through school as a dishwasher and fast food worker, becoming the first in his family to go to college, graduating from Florida A&M University and earning his law degree at Florida State University.

He’s spent decades fighting for working families in Tallahassee and across the nation, now he’s ready to lead Tallahassee forward by lowering costs and ensuring everyone has the tools and opportunities to build a good life here.
