I believe that the future success of our state is dependent upon the success of our young people. A comprehensive and accurate education system that promotes curiosity, innovation, and critical thinking is vital to Florida's competitiveness in emerging industries. Our best and brightest having been leaving our state because of a lack of opportunity to do important and forward-thinking work and that must change immediately. Recent laws have created more financial difficulties for working families in the form of unaffordable property insurance and housing. There is a way to fix these problems. Our elected officials simply have to have the will to do so.
Florida was once a place to live freely the very best days of our lives; be those the first days or the last. We must return to the days when the state did not target and vilify our fellow Floridians. We must stop going backward; the future is forward.- A Florida For All The sole responsibility of government is to protect the people and uphold their civil rights. This state legislature has failed to do either of those things and has actively worked in opposition to civil liberties. All Floridians have the right to live their lives in any manner they choose fit, if it poses no danger to another person. The state has no role in our self-determination and certainly should not pass laws to restrict or suppress our rights. Nor should those laws endanger the safety of any citizens by targeting them and labeling them as threats. Florida is less free for many of its residents today than it was just 3 years ago. We are going backward and that must stop.
- The Future is Forward Recent laws restricting and suppressing rights to reproductive care and the ballot box are simply reversing the clock to a time we left behind decades ago. Laws that allow books to bans with simplicity, restrictions of accurate history, and the elimination of representation in our colleges, universities, schools, and businesses do not allow for our state to stay competitive with the rest of the world. We are not moving in the direction necessary to ensure our continued success and prosperity. We are moving backward and the everyone else is moving forward. We will get left behind if our future is not also moving forward.
- The success of the young and the old are inextricably linked. Retirees are moving to Florida in large numbers, which has been beneficial to those that already own homes here. It has had the reverse effect for those looking to buy their first home. Our economy is not conducive to attracting young, highly educated individuals to our area. As a result, our workforce is leaving. If we do not make Florida a place that is attractive to young professionals, we will soon reach a point that is devastating to everyone. Our young people are very concerned about climate change and the ablity to live in a state so susceptible to impacts of it. We must acknowledge this threat and work to mitigate its impact and welcome companies in green industries.
