Si se requiere prueba documental de ciudadanía estadounidense para registrarse para votar, ¿cómo ayudaría a los floridanos, especialmente a las mujeres, que ya no tienen o no tienen acceso fácil y asequible a documentos que prueben su ciudadanía, como certificados de nacimiento o matrimonio?

Insufficient affordable housing is hurting Florida families and limiting Florida’s economy. What state measures do you support to address the affordable housing crisis, beyond tax and insurance reform, for both homeowners and renters? La falta de vivienda asequible está perjudicando a las familias de Florida y limitando la economía del estado. ¿Qué medidas estatales apoya para abordar la crisis de vivienda asequible, más allá de reformas fiscales y de seguros, tanto para propietarios como para inquilinos?

The affordability crisis and healthcare access 1- Seek statutory remedies to the underlying insurance fraud problem in soFLA which results in the highest USA homeowner insurance rates (plumber kickbacks paid by public adjusters & contractors plus requiring licensure of restoration company door to door marketers & salespersons to eliminate fraud by corrupt restoration contractors) 2- Reinstating Medicaid funding for ALL floridians and also PACE which specifically helps frail seniors stay at home instead of nursing homes
If that unneccessary voter impediment becomes law, I would offer & promote services at my District 91 office in Boca Raton to assist affected persons in anyway possible to obtain required documents.
WE MUST offer additional subsidies to assisting working poor people to pay rent. FL must restrict Big Investors buying up real estate which prevents true resident home ownership..
ALWAYS. NO restriction,whatsoever. Roe Vs Wade was law for 50 years and this backwards regression is unacceptable.
I am unable to answer this question honestly and would have to do extensive research. I support all legal protection of Home Rule in FLA.
FUNDING must be diverted from other parts of Florida's $118,000,000,000 !! WE CAN DO THIS!

Personally, I lost my $1,250 United Healthcare HMO monthly insurance coverage which I had for 14 years due to the end of subsidies.

At 60,it is terrifying to know I am uninsured since I have chronic medical concerns.
Property insurance is a much bigger problem than taxes. BUT, most people assume that our premiums are sky high to insurance carrier greed. That is a tiny part of the problem.

Florida is number one in the USA for property insurance fraud & overbilling. THAT is the main problem!

Two of the most urgent challenges facing Florida are the housing affordability crisis and the property insurance crisis driven by climate risk and market instability.

Within my first six months:

Housing: File and support legislation expanding workforce housing incentives; encourage zoning reforms that increase supply near jobs and transit; and streamline permitting to reduce construction costs and delays.

Insurance: Hold oversight hearings on rate-setting and claims handling; support reforms to stabilize Citizens Property Insurance while reducing long-term taxpayer exposure; encourage market competition to bring more carriers back; and invest in resilience and mitigation efforts to reduce risk and premiums over time.

Together, these steps focus on making Florida more affordable, stable, and livable for working families.
If documentary proof of citizenship becomes required to register to vote, I would work to ensure no eligible Floridian is effectively shut out of the process due to cost or paperwork barriers.

I would support expanding access to free or low-cost certified birth and marriage certificates through state funding or fee waivers and create streamlined pathways for individuals to obtain replacement documents through DMV and county clerk offices. I would also advocate for mobile and online assistance programs to help residents navigate document retrieval, especially for rural, elderly, and low-income Floridians.

For women who have changed their names through marriage or divorce, I would push for clear, consistent cross-agency verification so records can be matched without unnecessary delays or duplicate costs.

Voting rights should be protected in practice, not just in principle, and administrative barriers should never become a form of disenfranchisement.
Florida’s housing shortage requires increasing supply while ensuring working families can actually access it.

I support expanding workforce and affordable housing incentives that prioritize mixed income developments near jobs and transit. The state should encourage zoning reforms that allow more housing density where appropriate while giving local governments flexibility to tailor solutions.

We should streamline permitting and reduce regulatory delays that increase costs and slow new construction. I also support strengthening state affordable housing trust funding and using public private partnerships to build and preserve housing for both homeowners and renters.

In addition, I support adaptive reuse of underused commercial buildings into housing and stronger tenant protections to reduce sudden displacement in fast growing areas.

Addressing affordability means increasing supply, modernizing land use policy, and making sure housing growth keeps pace with Florida’s population growth.
I support maintaining access to abortion as part of comprehensive reproductive health care, consistent with Roe v. Wade standards and based on medical guidance and individual circumstances.

That includes protecting access in cases of rape, incest, threats to the patient’s health or life, and serious fetal anomalies, as determined by medical professionals. I also support ensuring that early pregnancy decisions remain between a patient and their doctor without political interference.

At the same time, I believe decisions about later-term procedures should be guided by medical necessity and the judgment of physicians, not blanket political bans that override complex medical realities.

The focus should be on protecting patient health, preserving privacy, and ensuring that care decisions are made by patients and medical experts, not politicians.
Florida’s balance between state preemption and local home rule is too tilted toward state control, limiting local flexibility on issues like housing, infrastructure, and community planning.

I support a clearer division of authority. The state should set baseline standards for civil rights, environmental protection, and core economic rules. Local governments should retain strong control over zoning, land use, and housing policy.

Preemption should be narrow and only used when there is a clear statewide need. Any override of local authority should require a strong justification for why uniformity is necessary.

Local governments should also be accountable for using their authority responsibly, especially on housing supply and affordability.

The goal is a balanced system where the state provides consistency and guardrails, while local communities have real flexibility to solve local problems.
Florida should address declining healthcare affordability by strengthening coverage stability while reducing long-term state cost growth.

First, the state should protect and maximize federal funding by aggressively supporting Medicaid efficiency and enrollment continuity, including reducing administrative barriers that cause eligible residents to lose coverage. This helps stabilize care and prevents more expensive emergency care costs later.

Second, Florida should explore targeted state-level subsidies or reinsurance-style programs to help offset rising premium costs in the ACA marketplace, especially for working families who do not qualify for Medicaid but are still priced out of private insurance.

Third, the state should invest in preventative and primary care access, including community health centers and telehealth expansion in underserved areas, to reduce reliance on high-cost emergency services.

Finally, Florida should improve transparency and oversight of healthcare pricing.
I agree that property insurance is now a more urgent concern for many Florida families than property taxes because it has become less predictable and more volatile. Even modest homes are seeing sharp premium increases or loss of coverage, which can make homeownership unaffordable or impossible regardless of tax levels.

Property taxes are still important, but they are generally more stable and tied to clear formulas and exemptions. Insurance costs, by contrast, are driven by market instability, reinsurance costs, and climate risk, and they can change rapidly year to year.

The state’s focus should be on stabilizing the insurance market by increasing competition, improving claims transparency, and investing in resilience measures that reduce long-term risk. That is where Florida can make the most immediate impact on affordability for homeowners.
