  • Florida families are being crushed by skyrocketing property insurance premiums and persistent inflation. The current supermajority in Tallahassee has failed to fix the insurance market, opting for bailouts over real reform. I will fight to unleash the free market, remove the heavy regulatory burdens that drive insurers away, and lower the cost of living for Volusia County residents. We must stop crony capitalism and cut the wasteful government spending that fuels inflation, ensuring you keep more of your hard-earned paycheck.
  • I am running to be the firewall between the government and your individual liberty. I believe in absolute medical freedom, the right to self-defense, and the protection of free speech. The government has no right to dictate what you put in your body, how you defend your family, or what you can say. I will oppose any new lockdowns, mask mandates, or encroachments on your Second Amendment rights. In the Senate, I will vote to strictly limit state power and restore the Constitutional rights of every Floridian.

I am most passionate about revitalizing Florida's small businesses. With a Master’s in Hospitality from UCF and years of experience in local restaurants and bars, I have seen firsthand how government red tape strangles innovation. My top priority is passing the Florida Main Street Act, a bold initiative I championed to slash the regulatory barriers that make it nearly impossible for everyday entrepreneurs to open and operate. We must dismantle the arbitrary licensing schemes and zoning restrictions that protect corporate monopolies while crushing local families. I am running to ensure that if you have a dream and a work ethic, the government gets out of your way.
