| Collapse all
- Quality public education is the basic building block to success for the children of Florida and for our businesses that need the workforce of tomorrow. Supporting our public schools also supports our businesses, our families, our economy, and our nation. Unfortunately, politicians in Tallahassee continue to siphon billions of your tax dollars into unaccountable corporate schools instead of expanding vocational skills training, raising pay for our talented teachers and education professionals, and ensuring that our students have access to classes like art and civics. Let's fully fund our public schools, reverse the damage done by the culture of corruption in Tallahassee, and invest in Florida's future.
- Healthcare costs are high and they keep rising. We can fix that. And we will. Even though Florida outpaces the national average for the number of people with no health insurance, Tallahassee refuses to expand Medicaid to insure close to a million working Floridians and their families. By putting politics over people, Florida has lost out on billions of taxpayer dollars, thousands of new healthcare jobs, and made the price of health insurance go up for all the Floridians who do have insurance. Let's get healthcare costs under control, bring money and jobs to Florida, and do the right thing. It helps all of us.
- Instead of protecting our environment and clean water, Tallahassee rolled back commonsense growth management laws, gave big corporations the green light to pollute, and refused to ban the dangerous practice of fracking in Florida. We must implement solutions to deal with the more powerful hurricanes and the effects of sea level rise due to climate change that are now a part of daily life for many Floridians. Florida's natural beauty, outdoor lifestyle, and the health and safety of all future generations are at risk. Let's protect the environment, institute smart growth management, take action on climate change, and invest in the futures of our children to live and thrive in Florida.
