I believe we can secure our borders while still treating people with dignity and humanity. Immigration policy should reflect both strength and compassion.
I support a balanced approach that strengthens border security, modernizes our asylum system, expands legal pathways, and protects due process. I also support comprehensive immigration reform that includes a roadmap to citizenship for people who are contributing to this country, including Dreamers, TPS holders, farmworkers, and essential workers.
I know that immigrants strengthen our communities, our economy, and our country. At the same time, voters deserve an immigration system that is orderly, fair, and functional. I will not support policies that strip people of dignity, separate families unnecessarily, or use immigrants as political scapegoats. We need real solutions, not fear-based politics.
In Florida, environmental challenges show up in everyday life, from rising insurance costs to flooding and extreme weather. Sea levels along Florida’s coast have risen by about 8 inches since the mid-20th century, putting increasing pressure on infrastructure and housing. Clean water is also a critical issue in my district. Discharges from Lake Okeechobee have polluted local lagoons and rivers, creating real environmental and economic consequences.
I support investments in clean energy, including solar, wind, and nuclear, paired with workforce training so these industries create good-paying jobs for Floridians. I also support modernizing the power grid, strengthening infrastructure, investing in disaster preparedness, and reducing pollution that harms our air, water, and public health.
We can protect our environment and grow our economy at the same time. That means cutting red tape for responsible clean energy and infrastructure projects while maintaining strong protections for communi
Affordability: I want to lower the cost of living by tackling rising housing costs, strengthening consumer protections, and cutting everyday expenses that squeeze working families. In Florida, skyrocketing insurance premiums and a changing demographic make affordability an urgent challenge.
Economic Opportunity & Job Creation: I want to put more Americans on a pathway to good jobs – because when Americans succeed, the American economy succeeds. That means investing in infrastructure and small businesses to create good-paying jobs, while expanding workforce training and education so more people have the skills they need to thrive.
Freedom of speech is one of the most fundamental rights we have as Americans, and a healthy democracy cannot exist without it. To me, it means every person has the right to speak their mind, share their beliefs, worship as they choose, peacefully protest, and criticize their government without fear of punishment or retaliation. It matters most when it protects views we may not agree with, because democracy depends on open debate, a free and independent press, and the ability of citizens to hold their leaders accountable. As a former teacher and high school principal, I saw every day how important it is to help young people think for themselves and engage respectfully even when they disagree. I am especially concerned when those in power try to silence dissent, intimidate journalists, or punish Americans simply for speaking out. In Congress, I will defend every American’s
Our Constitution is built on a system of checks and balances, and oversight of the federal agencies is a shared responsibility. Congress creates federal agencies, funds them, and defines their missions through law. The President, as head of the executive branch, is responsible for faithfully carrying out those laws and administering the agencies day to day.
But that authority is not unlimited. Congress has a constitutional duty to oversee how agencies operate, how taxpayer dollars are spent, and whether the executive branch is following the law. No president has the power to simply ignore, defund, or dismantle agencies that Congress created, or to treat independent agencies as personal political tools.
Right now, we are seeing troubling efforts to concentrate power in the executive branch and push Congress aside. That is exactly backwards. In Congress, I will defend the separation of powers, protect the independence of agencies built to serve the public rather than any one politician,
Voting is a fundamental right, and no eligible American citizen should lose the ability to vote because of unnecessary paperwork barriers. I am deeply concerned about proposals that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register, because we know who they hurt most: married women whose names have changed, seniors, rural voters, working families, and Americans who simply do not have easy or affordable access to a birth or marriage certificate.
This is a real problem, not a hypothetical one. As many as 69 million American women have taken their spouse’s name and have a current legal name that does not match their birth certificate. Asking them to track down and pay for certified documents — often across different states and agencies — could keep eligible citizens from casting a ballot.
First, I would fight these requirements, because secure elections and voter access are not in conflict, and study after study shows our elections are already secure. But if such a rule were ever
As a Member of Congress, I would focus on policies that expand economic mobility and opportunity for young Americans. That begins with investing in excellent public education — from K–12 through affordable higher education and workforce programs that prepare students for the jobs of the future, especially as AI reshapes our economy. As an educator, this is extremely important to me, and we have important work to do in DC to serve kids and families across the country.
We also need to civically engage young people across the country — not only when it comes to voting and strengthening our democracy, but also by investing them deeply in their local communities, which are the heartbeat of America. That means modernizing civic education and expanding service opportunities — from tutoring and mentoring in local schools, to organizing voter engagement in their communities, to serving as public health ambassadors addressing mental health and wellness.

The United States is a nation of laws that should be respected and enforced. At the same time, America was built through the labor, sacrifice, and contributions of enslaved people and generations of immigrants who helped shape our economy, culture, and national identity. Our diversity remains one of our greatest strengths, and our immigration system should reflect both the rule of law and the dignity of all people.
My position on immigration is that the US should create a more efficient system that expedites the processing of legal immigrants while enforcing laws regarding illegal immigration. We should secure our borders, maintain the integrity of our immigration laws, and ensure that those who follow legal procedures are treated fairly. At the same time, we should preserve due process, protect human dignity, and recognize the important role that immigrants have played in strengthening our nation.
Yes, I believe climate change is a financial threat to our nation's economy. In many ways, it is a double-edged sword. Whether we choose to address it now or later, either way there will be costs involved. If we ignore climate change and its effects become more severe, we'll ultimately spend significantly more money responding to natural disasters, infrastructure damage, rising insurance costs, and disruptions to agriculture and business.
We should focus on being proactive rather than reactive. Scientific research and statistical data show that climate change and global warming present real challenges. Investing today in cleaner energy, emission reductions, resilient infrastructure, and innovative technologies will help to reduce long-term costs and create economic opportunities.
The benefits of investing in the future of energy and sustainability outweigh the costs of ignoring the problem.
My immediate two legislative priorities for the next Congressional term would be reducing the cost of living for working families and addressing the financial challenges facing our senior citizens.
First, the rising cost of living affects everyone. Families are struggling with the cost of food, housing, healthcare, prescription medications, gas, and everyday necessities. Too many Americans are being forced to choose between paying rent or mortgage payments and putting food on the table. We must address food insecurity, expand access to nutritious food in underserved communities, and ensure families have access to essential resources.
Second, we must improve the quality of life for our seniors because they deserve to age with dignity and security. I support expanding programs, grants, tax credits, and affordable healthcare and housing options that help seniors live independently or access quality assisted care when needed.
Freedom of speech is one of the most important rights guaranteed by the First Amendment. It protects every citizen's right to express their opinions, beliefs, and ideas without government censorship. However, freedom of speech is not unlimited. Rights come with responsibilities and should be exercised in a way that endangers the safety or rights of others.
Americans should engage in open dialogue, debate, and express differing viewpoints, even when those views are unpopular. At the same time, speech that incites imminent violence, constitutes defamation, involves obscenity, child exploitation, or other legally recognized exceptions is not protected under the law.
Freedom of speech is essential to a free society, but it must be balanced with accountability and respect for the safety and well-being of others. True freedom allows us to speak our minds while recognizing the limits necessary to protect the rights of everyone.
Both Congress and the President have important roles in overseeing federal agencies, but their authority comes from different constitutional responsibilities. The President, as the Chief and head of the executive branch, is responsible for enforcing the laws and managing federal agencies through executive leadership, cabinet officials, and agency heads.
Congress, however, also has oversight authority because it makes/creates laws, approves funding, confirms many federal officials, and holds hearings to ensure agencies are following the law and serving the public interest. This oversight is part of the system of checks and balances.
This separation of powers helps ensure that no one branch of government (including the judicial branch) becomes too powerful.
If proof of US citizenship becomes a requirement to register to vote, lawmakers have a responsibility to ensure that citizens can obtain the necessary documentation without undue hardship or excessive cost. Before making any requirement mandatory, there should be foresight to guarantee that the process is accessible, affordable, and fair for all eligible voters.
Voting is a fundamental right, and no citizen should be effectively denied that right because they cannot easily access a birth certificate, marriage certificate, or other records. Waiver of fees (if eligible), expanding access to vital records, and creating alternative methods of verifying citizenship when documentation is unavailable.
Barriers to voting often have discriminatory effects. We must ensure that any new requirements are applied equally and do not resemble past practices that restricted access to the ballot box (poll tax, literacy tests., etc.). Election integrity and voter access can and should coexist.
The federal government should play a supportive role in education at every level by ensuring access, promoting quality, and providing resources to students and schools. From pre-school- K-12, the federal government should help guarantee that every child, regardless of income, has access to a quality education. This includes funding, educational standards, and programs that support disadvantaged students and students with disabilities and mental illness.
Additionally, the federal government should work to make college, trade schools, and workforce training more affordable through grants, scholarships, and responsible financial aid programs.
As a product of the public school system, I understand the value of free public education. America's ability to remain innovative, competitive, and economically strong depends on investing in education and is essential to our nation's future.
