| Collapse all
- Education is vital to the success of our future generations, and our current school system is failing our children. The State has consistently defunded and continues to underfund our public schools which has us ranked last for educator pay in the nation and our schools infrastructure in disrepair. Strengthening our public schools is essential to ensure a better future and our children are ready to handle the challenges they will face.
- Our government should be beholden to those they represent and governance should be done where those who are governed can see it. Our current representatives have altered our Sunshine laws to be able to hide their decisions from us and changed ethics law to allow their continued corruption. We need leaders with integrity who will accept responsibility, not cowards who will modify laws to hide their corrupt dealings and failed policy.
- Florida's beautiful natural habitats are being destroyed and instead of protecting them, our representatives are lining their pockets. We must elect officials who will ensure Florida remains beautiful for future generations. That means dealing with the pollution and hydrologic issues facing our state. We cannot continue to take abuse our environment. Florida has and continues to provide so much for us, it's time we took care of her in return.
The governor should enforce them.
In our system of government power is derived from the People, if the government is not accountable to them we are no longer a democracy.
