| Collapse all
- Florida’s public schools are being starved and politicized. I’m running to fully fund public education, protect students and educators, and make sure every child gets a high-quality education — not a culture war. Our classrooms need resources, mental health supports, and respect for teachers, not censorship and chaos.
- Working families deserve a government that works for them. I will fight for better wages, affordable healthcare, safe working conditions, and strong labor protections — including protecting unions and workers from retaliation. Florida should be a place where people can afford to live, raise families, and retire with dignity.
- Freedom means having rights you can actually use — and leaders who follow the law. I will defend reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ rights, voting rights, and common-sense public safety solutions that keep our communities safe without targeting vulnerable people. I believe in accountability, transparency, and a government that serves the people — not corporations or extremists.
