Child welfare, mental health, education, infrastructure and first responders.
I look up to my brother. He is a man of courage, strength, and good moral character. He has taught me that no matter the obstacle in your way, you can overcome by staying determined, resilient and having faith.
Accountability, transparency, responsibility, leadership, integrity and honesty.
I am an advocate, a voice for the voiceless, will do our very best to create, advocate for and pass legislation to make changes in a macro level. Will listen to all parties, voters, sides, etc.
To advocate for their constituents, to actually listen to what their supports and non-supports have to say, to be open-minded, to effectuate change in a macro level.
With hard work and commitment we can bring about lasting change.
First historical event I recall was the first bombing of The World Trade Center in 1993. I was ten years of age.
My first job was working at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America for two years mentoring at risk youth.
The Great Gatsby. Classic book.
Indiana Jones. Sense of adventure while also doing what is right and standing up for truth.
Growing up with a learning disability.
The Governor and State Legislature should work together for the betterment of all Floridians.
No. Simply put, everyone has to start somewhere. Sometimes having no prior political experience and fresh set of eyes, someone from the community who has seen or lived the issues others find important is impactful.
It is beneficial to build relationships of trust with legislators on both sides of the aisle. This is key to getting many pieces of legislation passed or at least open to consideration.
What is a mummy’s favorite thing to eat? A wrap.
Absolutely! We cannot move forward or create lasting and positive change without working with one another. We have to know what we are willing to compromise on and where we stand immovable. However, good policy making involves all parties working together.
