| Collapse all
Bonnie resides in Winter Park, Florida with her husband of 26 years. They raised three amazing children in Orange County, Florida.
- Parents have the right to demand a quality education for their children taught in a safe environment. Our public schools have been transformed into pods for community organizing with a social justice agenda, instead of incubators of learning, critical thinking, and rewarding academic achievement. Our children are being robbed of their potential, the country is being robbed of its future, and parents are being robbed of their most precious gift – the right to parent. It is time to allow the free marketplace to force positive change. I intend to work toward legislation that ensures parents have real choices by allowing government funding to follow the student.
- Floridians have the right to demand that immigration laws are being enforced. If an individual enters our country without regard to ports of entry or existing law, then they are illegal aliens not “undocumented immigrants.” They are not immigrants, because they are, by definition, here illegally. These are foreign citizens breaking our laws and Floridians can fight this invasion. I intend to work hard toward a system of mandatory E-verify for employers. Employers must be held accountable, including criminal penalties, if they do not use the E-verify system to ensure that a person being hired is not only here legally, but that they are legally able to work.
- Voters have lost confidence in our institutions of government, especially in the integrity of our elections. It is one of the primary benefits of citizenship, if not the primary benefit. A single illegal vote erases the legal vote cast by a citizen. I will make it a priority to pass legislation that removes voter drop boxes. We need to make it easy to vote, and hard to cheat. Voter drop boxes make it easy to cheat.
