Affordable Insurance
Creating state funded Insurance cooperatives that would protect Floridians homes and health against catastrophic events.
Would set up a department that would give guidance on how to request replacement documents as well as searches of hospital records, Baptismal Certificates, early school and Census records
Increase overall housing supply through regulatory reform. Provide direct financial subsidies for low income populations.
It is not a politician's right to judge access to abortion. Women’s bodily autonomy should not be politicized. This a personal matter between women and their doctors
There needs to be laws passed the prevents local municipalities using Home Rule from implementing all exclusionary and restrictive zoning policies
Laws also need to be passed to prevent State Control powers from punishing cities governed by the opposing party
The state needs to accept and implement Medicaid expansion
Insurance companies no longer keep the protection of their policy holders as priority over profits. Believe state sponsored and funded catastrophic insurance department needs to be created to protect Floridians.

Floridians are being crushed by property insurance premiums and housing costs. Insurance reform is one of the top issues. Florida’s environmental challenges algae blooms, beach erosion, and water quality are long standing and worsening.
Introduce a bipartisan Insurance Transparency & Accountability Act. Fast track incentives for new insurers to enter the Florida market. Create a Florida Water & Coastline Emergency Plan.
I support expanding access by creating a statewide ‘Vital Documents Access Program’ that waives fees for low-income residents, allows online identity verification, and brings mobile document services to rural and underserved communities. No eligible Floridian should lose access to voting, healthcare, or employment simply because they cannot afford or obtain paperwork. This is about fairness, dignity, and making government work for the people it serves.
Florida’s housing crisis isn’t about taxes and insurance — it’s about supply, zoning, wages, and the basic math of how fast our population is growing. We need structural fixes.
First, I support expanding workforce and attainable housing by modernizing zoning. That means allowing duplexes, triplexes, and accessory dwelling units in areas where they make sense, especially near jobs and transit.
Second, we need to speed up construction. I support statewide permitting reform, standardized building codes, and fast track approval for projects that include affordable units.
Third, we must protect renters. I support transparency in rental fees, limits on predatory application charges, and a statewide standard for reasonable notice before rent increases.
Finally, Florida needs to invest in infrastructure — water, roads, and utilities — so new housing can be built where people want to live.
These are practical, bipartisan steps that increase supply, stabilize rents, and make Florida livable.
Reproductive Rights refer to individuals' legal and ethical rights regarding their health and decision-making. These rights encompass a range of issues, including the right to access contraception, and family planning services. They also include the right to decide whether to have children, when to have them, how many to have, and are considered fundamental human rights based on the principles of autonomy, privacy, and equality. It's a Sad Day when a woman visits her primary care doctor for Reproductive Health Care and the first person the doctor consults is a Lawyer, not a Specialist!
Florida’s balance of power between the state and local governments has shifted too far toward state preemption. In recent years, Tallahassee has overridden local decisions on housing, environmental protections, workplace rules, and even local democracy itself.
Preemption has a legitimate role — we need statewide consistency on issues like insurance regulation and criminal law. But what we are seeing now is not balance; it’s overreach. Local governments are closest to the people. They understand their neighborhoods, their water systems, their housing pressures, and their economic realities better than anyone in the Capitol.
I support redefining this relationship by restoring local autonomy in areas where communities need flexibility: zoning, environmental protection, public health, and nondiscrimination ordinances. The state should set minimum standards, not maximum limits.
Federal subsidies for coverage are shrinking, while more Medicaid costs are being pushed onto the states. If we don’t act, the people who get hurt first are low income families, seniors, and working Floridians who are already one medical bill away from crisis.
First, I support expanding Medicaid eligibility in Florida to bring in more federal matching dollars and cover low-income adults who are currently falling through the cracks. That’s billions in federal funds we’re leaving on the table while our hospitals and families struggle.
Second, we need to protect access in rural and underserved areas. I support targeted state funding and payment reforms to keep community clinics and rural hospitals open, and to increase reimbursement for primary care and mental health so providers can afford to serve Medicaid patients.
Third, we should strengthen Florida KidCare and other state programs that help children and working families maintain coverage when federal subsidies change.
What is the biggest threat to Florida’s economy?
Hedge Fund Vultures, Wall Street Carpetbaggers, and Corporate Gangsters.Everyone complains about taxes, but there is another tax Floridians pay every day: Executive Salaries and Bonuses. Let’s call it what it is legalized looting.
This executive tax does not build roads or schools. It does not fund health care or public infrastructure. It funds luxury cars, yachts, trophy wives, and vacation homes in Aspen.
These firms buy up family homes, apartment buildings, clinics, small businesses, and insurance companies. Then they raise rents, increase fees and sell off assets for profit. None of that money goes toward improving services, raising wages, or supporting communities. It ends up in the pockets of executives.
