| Collapse all
- Our district is full of people living their dream of starting their own business and being their own boss. Farms, service providers, and home businesses are our economic strength and I am committed to supporting them. I believe that your Representative should put small businesses first, keep taxes and regulations as low as possible, and always stand up for our individual property rights.
- Education has always been key to helping people take that next step in their lives. I believe that education, in all forms, should always be a priority. This means that we need to support our local Universities, Colleges, and Technical schools as they provide affordable, accessible education. Additionally, I am committed to supporting our K-12 education system by advancing school choice, focusing on reading and math proficiency, and ensuring all our schools are safe, protected environments for learning.
- Homeowner's insurance costs have continued to be challenge for all Floridians and I believe there is more progress we can make. I will continue to support our Legislature as they crack down on contractor and insurance fraud. Additionally, I believe that we need to create and industry working group to develop better roof construction techniques. Our focus has long been on protecting our roofs against hurricanes, but we have not focused on reducing the rate of small nuisance leaks that so often lead to 5 digit insurance payouts. I am committed to using my engineering background to lead discussions on best practices for building future roofs in ways that will reduce water intrusion and nuisance leaks.
