- Public service is a public trust, and our elected officials owe accountability and transparency to all Floridians. As a legislator, I will close budget loopholes and ensure tax dollars are used for their intended purposes. During these unprecedented times, I will demand additional relief for individuals, families and businesses hit the hardest by the pandemic. I will prioritize the well-being of our communities and support an economic recovery and reopening plan that balances public health and safety interests. With your vote, I will fight for increases in salaries for all teachers, investments in affordable housing, expansion of Medicaid, protection for our environmental and rural boundaries, and police reform to build safer communities.
- As a business owner, I understand the day-to-day challenges of running a business. Small business is the backbone of our economy and I support initiatives that provide sustainable pathways for business growth. Despite having the fourth largest GDP and one of the fastest-growing economies in the U.S. in 2019, Florida now has one of the highest unemployment rates in the nation. This alarming statistic stems from Florida's over-reliance on tourism which is hit the hardest during economic recessions. As the third largest state, Florida should be an economic leader-this starts with allocating more funding for the growth and development of businesses throughout our communities and for advancements in innovation and technology.
- I am the product of the Seminole County Public School system and have experienced, firsthand, the value a solid education provides. Now as a parent, I impress upon my daughter the importance of education. I firmly believe a quality education directly affects all other facets of life such as employment, access to healthcare, and housing. Our children are our future, and the gradual defunding of our public-school system has impressed upon our teachers an impossible burden of providing quality education with inadequate resources. By investing in education, we are empowering our communities to develop creative ways to tackle the issues impacting our quality of life.
