Collapse all
|- Florida's climate is changing. Severe weather, retreating shores, harmful algae blooms and rising sea levels are major threats to Floridians and Florida's agriculture and tourism. That is why I support the Florida Climate & Economic Defense Initiative, which calls for comprehensive action on climate change.
- Florida's teachers and students deserve better. That is why I support increasing teacher pay to strengthen the teaching pipeline, expanding quality public and vocational education, and fixing funding gaps to public schools.
- Florida is the state for small businesses. Small businesses support half of Florida's entire economy and create about 75% of net new jobs. That is why I am dedicated to supporting small businesses by providing resources and expertise, expanding access to loans, and encouraging rural entrepreneurship. We can further help small businesses by investing into rebuilding infrastructure, expanding public transportation and the renewable energy sector to create more high-paying jobs, while meeting sustainability standards.
