The two most important challenges facing Florida are affordability and government accountability. Families are being squeezed by rising costs, including housing, property insurance, healthcare, food, and taxes. Within my first six months, I would focus on practical reforms that lower costs, protect taxpayers, and bring real relief to working families and seniors.
I would also work to make sure North Florida has a stronger voice in Tallahassee. That means meeting directly with local leaders, law enforcement, educators, healthcare providers, small businesses, and residents to identify District 9’s needs and fight for solutions that reflect our communities, not political insiders.
I support election integrity, but eligible citizens should not be blocked from voting because of paperwork barriers. If documentary proof of U.S. citizenship becomes required, the state should make those documents easy and affordable to obtain.
I would support reduced or waived fees, clear public guidance, local assistance events, and better coordination between agencies to help Floridians, especially women with name changes, seniors, and citizens with limited access to records. Election integrity should protect the vote without creating unnecessary obstacles for lawful voters.
Affordable housing is hurting Florida families and limiting our economy. Beyond tax and insurance reform, I support increasing housing supply, reducing unnecessary permitting delays, reviewing regulations that drive up costs, and encouraging responsible workforce housing.
For renters and homeowners, Florida should support more attainable housing options, public-private partnerships, first-time homebuyer opportunities, and infrastructure that allows responsible growth. At the same time, local communities must have a voice because North Florida’s needs are not the same as South Florida’s.
I am pro-life and believe every life has value.
At the same time, I believe we must do more than simply debate abortion. We should strengthen support for mothers, families, adoption, prenatal care, crisis pregnancy resources, and child and maternal health. If we truly value life, we must also value the lives of mothers and children after birth by making sure families have support, safety, and opportunity.
I believe local control should remain local whenever possible. Communities understand their own needs best and should have the flexibility to address them without unnecessary interference from Tallahassee.
The state does have a role when it comes to constitutional rights, public safety, and statewide concerns, but it should set clear guardrails while allowing local solutions.
I oppose one-size-fits-all policies. What works in Miami may not work in North Florida, and our communities deserve a voice. I will support local decision-making and oppose state mandates that ignore local realities.
Florida must address healthcare affordability with honesty and discipline. Families are facing rising costs and limited access, and the state should avoid relying on uncertain federal promises.
I support practical reforms: increase price transparency, expand primary and preventive care, strengthen rural healthcare, support telehealth, reduce unnecessary regulations, and protect Medicaid for the most vulnerable.
We also need better results from current spending by reducing waste, improving accountability, encouraging competition, and expanding access. The goal is simple: lower costs, better care, and a system that puts patients first.
This is not an either-or issue. Property insurance and property taxes are both making it harder for Floridians to afford their homes. Families look at the total cost and see it rising.
Property insurance is an immediate crisis, and the state must continue stabilizing the market, increasing competition, and ensuring reforms lower costs. At the same time, property taxes are a long-term burden, especially for seniors and families on fixed incomes.
Florida should address both. We need real insurance reform and meaningful property tax relief, with affordability as the priority.

The two most important challenges facing Florida are restoring our communities and rebuilding our economy. Across District 9 — from Tallahassee to Madison to Monticello — families are living in or next to abandoned homes, recovering from hurricanes, and watching their children leave because there are no jobs to keep them here. In my first six months, I will champion legislation to rehabilitate dilapidated homes, strengthen disaster resilience, and invest in the infrastructure that connects our communities. I will also fight to attract employers, support small businesses, and create real career pathways so our young people can stay, build, and thrive right here in District 9. I have served on the front lines of disaster recovery during Hurricanes Helene and Milton. I know what it costs when we fail to prepare — and I know what it means to a family when someone shows up and fights for them.
Election integrity and voter access should go hand in hand. If documentary proof of citizenship becomes required, the state must ensure that obtaining necessary records is affordable, efficient, and accessible. I would support streamlining access to birth certificates and qualifying documents through county and state agencies and reducing administrative barriers. I also believe most citizens who lack documentation are already receiving government assistance — SNAP and other benefit programs. Florida should create a linked voucher program connecting existing benefit enrollment to document assistance. Because these individuals are already verified through the benefits system, this approach actually strengthens election integrity by ensuring only eligible citizens receive documentation vouchers — while eliminating financial hardship as a barrier to voting. Every eligible citizen deserves both confidence in election security and a reasonable opportunity to exercise their right to vote.
Florida needs a balanced approach that increases housing supply while protecting communities. I support reducing unnecessary regulatory barriers that drive up construction costs, encouraging workforce housing development, and expanding infrastructure to support growth. I support strengthening partnerships between local governments and the private sector, programs that help first-time homebuyers achieve homeownership, and revitalizing existing neighborhoods — including rehabilitating abandoned homes already in our communities. Increasing housing at multiple price points benefits both homeowners and renters. Critically, growth must be intentional and measurable — with clear benchmarks that hold development accountable so we can track progress and course correct. And growth must never come at the cost of disrupting the local economy or erasing the aura, identity, and spirit that make District 9 communities unique. We can grow and build without losing who we are.
Q4: Abortion (final)
I am pro-life. My faith is the foundation of my values and I believe every human life is sacred and begins at conception. I support Florida law and the protections it provides, including exceptions allowed under state law. I also believe we must do far more to support women facing difficult pregnancies. Women who have been raped, abused, or are in danger deserve real support and assistance — not abandonment. With fibroids and other maternal health conditions rising, threatening both mother and baby, we need a dedicated Healthy Mother Healthy Baby program that improves prenatal care, maternal healthcare, and postpartum services — especially in rural District 9 where resources are limited. Having a baby carries real mortality risks. We must be pro-life AND pro-mother. Women should never face pregnancy, childbirth, or recovery alone. Moral clarity and compassion must walk together.
I believe the relationship between state and local government must be built on respect, collaboration, and common sense. Local communities know their needs best — whether you live in Tallahassee, Madison, or Monticello, your local leaders are closest to the challenges you face every day. While state oversight is necessary to ensure consistency on constitutional matters and statewide issues, preemption should never be used as a tool to strip communities of the ability to make decisions that directly affect their own neighborhoods, land, and growth. District 9 communities are unique — rural small towns and urban neighborhoods do not have identical needs, and one-size mandates from Tallahassee can hurt both. I will work to ensure that state and local governments are partners, not adversaries. The people of District 9 deserve a representative who listens to their communities first and fights for their right to shape their own future.
Healthcare access is a crisis across District 9. Rural communities face physician shortages, specialty care gaps, and hospital closure threats. In Leon County, working families fall into the coverage gap — earning too much for Medicaid but too little for private insurance as subsidies decline. I will expand rural clinics, make telehealth permanent, and bring mental health resources close to home. I support incentives attracting doctors and nurses to underserved communities, stronger managed care oversight, and preventive care investments that reduce costly ER dependence. I support federal flexibility waivers to fund innovative rural delivery systems and stabilize rural hospitals — especially trauma and obstetrics centers. As an AI Engineer in Medicine building emergency health intelligence tools, I know technology stretches healthcare dollars further. My Healthy Mother Healthy Baby initiative will expand prenatal, maternal, and postpartum care so no woman faces pregnancy alone in rural
Floridians are right to be more concerned about property insurance than property taxes — both are serious burdens on District 9 families. Insurance premiums have skyrocketed with no transparency, no accountability, and no relief in sight. I support greater insurer rate transparency, real litigation reform that protects policyholders first, and strengthening Citizens Property Insurance as a safety net for homeowners abandoned by the private market. On property taxes — I believe seniors over 65 deserve zero property taxes. They built this community. They paid their dues. They should not be taxed out of their own homes. For all homeowners I support a measurable, scalable reduction in property taxes that does not shock or destabilize our local economy or community services. Before raising any new revenue, local government must first audit wasteful spending, modernize outdated systems, and eliminate inefficiencies. Additional revenue should come through economic development, business growth
