Election integrity is affecting our ability to vote for public servants in the polls. I plan to submit 3 bills requiring residency in your district prior to running, runoffs in primaries, and prohibiting candidates from running PACs.

Overdevelopment is a complex challenge that is affecting every city and county in South Florida. I will work to repeal the Live Local Act, which gives the world away to developers on a platter and all of my opponents support.
I believe in using this proof to have a stronger voter ID issued. Miami-Dade’s Tax Collectors Office has undergone a great transformation. I would work with them to facilitate additional funds for them to dedicate staff to helping them acquire and certify the necessary documents.
Tax and insurance reform are important. I don’t agree with this question disregarding them. But in the spirit of following this questionnaire, I want to strip privileges granted to preferred developers. The market can help to begin regulating itself if politicians stop placing their fingers on the scales. Renovating and adding larger buildings to HUDs portfolio for the residents that require a little boost.
I do not. I would always rather lose your vote with the truth than gain it with a lie. I believe science has advanced significantly. We have birth control meds, IUDs, and dozens of other methods I won’t type out here. We even have within reason morning after pills. In 2026, we should not be killing for medical purposes.
I do not support moves by Tallahassee to superimpose their will on local counties or cities. I believe our mission is to codify laws and disburse the budget. Local issues with regards to development and zoning should remain locally solved. I also will not make changes to the supermajority needed to modify the Urban Development Boundaries. Expansion should be weighed with seriousness for the decisions cause irreparable damage.
We have to reconfigure our budget to absorb these evolving needs. I have been a Type 1 Diabetic since I was 2 years old. I understand the abuses of insurance carriers. I understand the importance of preventative health. Lastly, I know inflation and cost of living are rapidly rising, while Medicaid qualification tables have yet to be adjusted. Healthcare is my third priority after election integrity and halting overdevelopment.
I agree wholeheartedly. Property insurance is a scam. Carriers are allowed to not cover policies in coastal areas, even though the state is a giant peninsula… They issue policies that do not cover hurricanes. It really is a lose-lose for Florida homeowners. Entrenched politicians receive hundreds of thousands from them to make it seem like a non issue. I will work on this for my residents.

Florida's two biggest challenges are affordability and the condominium crisis. The rising cost of housing and everyday expenses is making it harder for families, seniors, and young professionals to remain in the communities they love. In my first six months in office, I will fight for policies that increase housing affordability and provide meaningful property tax relief for homeowners. Second, Florida must restore confidence in condominium ownership. As the representative of a district with one of the highest concentrations of condominiums in the state, I will work to improve condo laws by increasing transparency, strengthening oversight, and advancing practical reforms that protect both residents' safety and financial well-being.
I support secure elections and ensuring that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote. At the same time, any citizenship verification requirement must be implemented in a way that does not create undue burdens for eligible voters. If documentary proof of citizenship is required, Florida should make the process simple, affordable, and accessible. I would support efforts to streamline access to vital records, reduce or waive fees when appropriate, and ensure that seniors, women who have changed their names, and other eligible voters can easily obtain the documentation needed to exercise their constitutional right to vote.
Florida's housing affordability crisis requires a balanced approach that increases supply while protecting the character of our communities. I support expanding workforce housing opportunities, streamlining permitting and approval processes, and encouraging public-private partnerships that help create attainable housing for teachers, first responders, healthcare workers, and other essential members of our workforce. I also believe the state must ensure that housing programs are accountable and effective, while investing in infrastructure and transportation improvements that support responsible growth. Our goal should be to make it possible for families, young professionals, and seniors to live and thrive in the communities they call home.
I support Florida law, including the current exceptions that protect the life and health of the mother and cases of severe fetal anomalies. Beyond those situations, I believe these are decisions that should be limited, deeply personal, and guided by families, medical professionals, and the existing legal framework. As a legislator, my focus will be on supporting women and families earlier in the process expanding access to healthcare, reducing unintended pregnancies, and making sure families have the resources they need so they are not left without support.
I believe in preemption, especially when municipal governments fail to address issues consistently or effectively across the state.

Florida is a large and diverse state, and when policies vary widely from city to city, it can create confusion, inefficiency, and unequal treatment for residents depending on where they live. In those cases, the state has a responsibility to step in and ensure fairness, consistency, and accountability.

At the same time, home rule should still be respected where local governments are effectively serving their communities. The goal should be balance: allowing local governments to lead where they are performing well, while using state preemption when local action is failing residents or creating a patchwork of unequal standards.
Florida should focus on stabilizing the healthcare system by increasing transparency, improving efficiency, and making sure state and federal resources are directed to the people who need them most.

As federal subsidies change and more costs are shifted to the states, we need to avoid simply expanding bureaucracy or pushing costs further onto taxpayers. Instead, Florida should prioritize strengthening Medicaid delivery systems, reducing administrative waste, and encouraging more competition and innovation in healthcare services to improve access and outcomes.

At the same time, we should support policies that expand preventative care, mental health services, and community-based healthcare options especially in underserved areas. The goal should be a system that is more efficient, more responsive, and more focused on patients, not paperwork.
I agree that property insurance costs are the more immediate concern for many Florida families, because they affect monthly budgets and the ability to stay in their homes. The 2023 tort reform measures were an important step toward stabilizing Florida’s insurance market by reducing excessive litigation and helping bring more carriers back into the state. We are starting to see progress, but it takes time for those reforms to fully translate into lower premiums for consumers. At the same time, property taxes remain an important issue, and we should continue working to ensure homeowners receive meaningful relief and that government growth is kept in check. Going forward, I believe the focus must remain on strengthening the insurance market, encouraging competition, and building on the reforms already enacted so that families can finally see long-term price stability.
