Following college, Adam decided to move back to Florida and started his first company with $3,000 in his pocket. Two years later he and his business partners started a second company, both of which still operate in Gainesville, Florida. Having grown up a republican in a deep red state, he saw first-hand what can happen to communities hit hardest by financial greed. Rising drug costs, the opioid epidemic, and the housing crises affected every part of the state. This experience helped him form the belief that systems that are designed to prey on the poor and middle class should not exist in a just or moral society, and that the greed of these systems is what has caused the majority of the issues and hurt that we have today in Central Florida.
Adam currently lives in Gainesville Fl.- Middle Class Tax Cuts
- Cut Drug Prices In Half
- No Bailouts For Hedgefunds Or Billionaires
Most people in Central Florida are having a hard time making ends meet. They work 2-3 jobs just to afford a place to live. What we are proposing is that if you work 8 hours a day you should be able to afford a place to live and the ability to raise a family without worrying about money. The good news is that we have the opportunity to do this while making sure that our community and environment survive for our children in the future.
That opportunity is called the Green New Deal
