I stand firm on the premise that Florida is a donor state to the federal government and it is time for us to get our fair share of our federal dollars. My commitment to our community is proven and I will continue to bring forth solutions that are designed to empower people and alleviate the burdens of my district. With so many Floridians in my district and throughout the state having to work harder and harder to get by, it is clear that hard-working families continue to be overlooked. Now more than ever, we need leaders – fearless leaders – in Congress who will stand up for their constituents.
This is why I’m running. I want every resident of the district to be able to trust that their representative in Congress is accessible, genuinely listens to their concerns, and works as hard as ever to make their lives better. I will continue to fight to bring back your hard-earned money to your community and demand change and speak up on the issues that affect us all. I believe that every honest politician has three roles: servant, voice and strategist.
- Re-Imaging Housing 1. Creating 100,000 attainable single family housing units by 2024. 2. Increasing the dollar amount of rental vouchers and increasing the number of rental vouchers. 3. Create 40,000 multi-family units by 2024. 4. Increase housing and housing programs for seniors.
- 1. Expanded Child Tax Credit 5 and under $5,000 yearly and 6-17 $4,600 yearly
- USA Student Loan Relief Forgiving Student Loan Debt up to 50% up to $50,000. Forgiving interest on the remaining balance and moving the remaining balance to 3% simple interest.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
