Lynn believes people have a right to freedom, to opportunity, and to the American dream. The entrepreneurial spirit runs strong in her family and she will fight against excessive regulations and taxes for small businesses, such as licensing and hidden fees. She is an advocate for bringing back trade schools and fostering entrepreneurship.

As a dedicated community leader, Lynn has volunteered for various non-profit organizations. She served as a board member of Miami-Dade County Asian-American Advisory Board (AAAB), North Miami Beach Redevelopment Advisory Board, Thai-American Association (TAA-South Florida), Census Complete Count, and the Multicultural Committee. Additionally, she serves as Vice President of National Association of Asian American Professionals (NAAAP-Miami). Lynn looks forward to bringing her love of her community to the state house. She promises to bring leadership to the state legislature, while advocating for the significant improvements our community deserves.

  • I am the Education Candidate, supporting school choice, universal education scholarship accounts, parental rights in education, and a reintroduction of vocational training.
  • I am the Opportunity Candidate, supporting a free market economy, reduction of punishing taxes and regulation, and the idea that ALL businesses are essential.
  • I am the Healthcare Candidate, because I understand that while we have the best healthcare in the world, we have the worst healthcare system, and the best way to fix it is to undo all the government regulation and interference that broke it in the first place.
Bringing back vocational training in high School is long overdue. Instead of pushing students into college, which they may be unready or unsuited for, we should offer them training in the trades, so if they choose they can go straight from High School into a lucrative and productive line of work, if they wish.

Support for local police - The "Defund the Police" movement is really very scary and wrong-headed, and has unsurprisingly caused a big spike in violent crime where it is been embraced. If we want to be safe in our homes and communities, we need to support police.
Human trafficking is a horror, and South Florida is a leading hot-spot. We need to end this horrible practice.

I want to see people flourish, and the best way to see that happen is to get government out of their way.
The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States of America, and the Federalist Papers.
First, one should be motivated by principle over partisanship or self-interest. This seems elementary, but it is sad to see how many serving politicians fail to meet up to this very fundamental standard. You must also be patient, temperate, and committed to persuasion in order to build consensus.
I listen. The ability to create a win-win scenario. Tenacious. Gets the job done.
In this role, you are responsible for making good public policy. This is a demanding task, and one which should not be taken lightly or frivolously. You must listen and take into account a LOT of different voices who have an interest in that policy, some more legitimate than others, and none more so than the people you represent, who must live with that policy once it has been passed into law.
Made it a better place than when I found it.
My family going bankrupt when I was 12. 9/11 I was 29.
Babysitting for 2 years.
The patience to have down time.
A relationship defined by collaboration is best, where possible. As a chief executive, the governor has a vision for the state, and he or she should work with the legislature to bring that vision about.
Florida has been on a very good path, and is a leader in education, freedom and prosperity. Astonishingly, there is no shortage of people who want to veer off that path, and follow some of the failed policies being pursued by other states. The biggest challenge will be remaining on the path we're on.
A unicameral system seems appealing, as it appears easier to arrive at consensus and pass legislation. It is also however far easier to be corrupted, and to slip into a tyrannical system which does not listen to the people.
I think it is better that they bring the practical experience of living and working in their communities, as this means they are more in touch with the people they live and work among, and will do a better job of representing the needs and desires of the people they represent.
Of course it is beneficial to build relationships with other legislators. The stronger the relationships you have, the more effective you will be in hammering-out policy questions.
I think the most important consideration in redistricting is the principle of community of interest, and I think this should outweigh other principles.
Education and Employment

Commerce

Health & Human Services
Possibly, yes.
A black gentleman losing his job over his choice not to vaccinate. His wife being the sole bread winner supporting his mother and child. The impact on me is the importance of freedom.
Yes, and only rarely.
Compromise certainly is necessary, but one should not compromise-away their principles. Once you do this, you stand for nothing.
