This district is my home. I've seen firsthand the changes to the environment, businesses, and people here. I know from personal experience how critical it is to not only look like a representative for this region, but act like it.
District 65 needs smart well rounded leadership to propel it into the future. In a post COVID-19 economy, I will push hard to vote for legislation that makes sense and protects the environment. I will work to make the our streets and schools safer by supporting smart gun laws, while ensuring citizens keep their rights to feel safe. I will strive to help pull more Floridians out of poverty by proposing ways to increase incomes and lessen the burden on the welfare system. I will protect healthcare and support expanding our current system. I will support programs that help citizens become homeowners. And I will continue to work with the people to ensure that discrimination has no place in any law in the future.
This year your vote will shape our new post COVID-19 world. Make sure you cast it for the right person. And if you're in district 65 cast it for me!- I will support proactive policies that put our fragile environment first
- I will fight for small businesses and help give them tools and smart programs to ensure their success
- I will protect healthcare for all citizens and ensure they do not get discriminated against because of pre-existing conditions
We must create a Florida that is built on a strong foundation so that we will weather the storms and quickly recover
