| Collapse all
- Protect the American family. Every decision should be viewed through the lens of our American families, be it the economy, development, or societal. I pledge to put the American family first in all that I do as a legislator and how I vote.
- We have to be honest about the most basic principles, including the difference between man and woman, pass or fail, true and untrue. Politics has been centered on confusion, manipulation, and corruption for so long and the media has failed to do its job of reporting the truth. We no longer can trust our government or elected leaders or their intentions. This can't be the way we move forward. There has to be a righting of our ship and a shift back to truth.
- Central Florida cannot depend on tourism to make large corporations rich and service workers poor. We need to diversify and increase economic opportunity. We need to expand on education that prepares student for the future, and incentives for high paying careers. Our Home price and insurance crisis, including HOA issues have to be resolved with the American family coming out ahead. We have to build on what the state has done. We need to innovate the insurance, education, and technology sectors so that these areas of the economy are both profitable and serve the American family.
I remember my father catching a goose and letting me ride it when I was 3 during a trip to Nicaragua.
