  • All Floridians deserve to live comfortably. This means we need to address the crippling food insecurity issues and cost of living.
  • Our public school teachers and students deserve better. I will fight to make sure our public schools get the funding and resources they deserve and that our teachers are paid better.
  • I will fight fossil fuels, and make sure Florida shifts toward green energy.
Social issues. Prison reform, protections for all from discrimination, affordable housing, raising minimum wage to a living wage, public education, expanding Medicaid and universal basic healthcare.
I look up to Bernie Sanders, to Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, and to my mother.

All three of them fight for what is right, do what needs to be done to ensure people have a better life, and do not take any nonsense from other people.
Honesty, A will to fight, the ability to do the right thing
I'm a fighter, hard working, and I understand the basic needs of my constituents.
Hearing from and actively working to resolve constituents needs. Securing funding for district.
I would like to leave the world a better place. Making sure no one goes to bed hungry, homeless, or stressed because of bills.
The first historical event I remember is the 1998 bombing in Iraq. I was 9 at the time.
My first job was McDonalds, I started at age 14, and worked there for four years.
The Perks of Being A Wallflower, which I related to so much while in high school. It just stuck with me.
I would want to be Harry Potter. He knows what it's like to struggle, and fights for what is right.
Dancing on my Own by Robyn
Growing up poor, attending college and transitioning to adult life were not easy. I know first hand what it's like to have to work multiple jobs just to afford your bills. I know what it's like to have to choose between your electric bill or food.
No! I feel we should have a state legislator that is made of people who know what the day to day life is like, not a bunch of out of touch millionaires.
Wages and cost of living.
We have some of the highest rents in the nation, and our job market is heavily based on service and tourism. Far too many people struggle, and it's only made worse by coronavirus.
Yes, we need to work together to solve problems and make Florida a better place.
A fair redistricting process with a bipartisan board setting the district lines and free from gerrymandering.
