|- The Crippling rising costs of inflation and taxes are creating a burden on our families. We must and will find a way to fight inflation, lower our taxes, cut unjust regulations, solve supply chain issues and help our families meet their everyday needs.
- Community, Personal and School Safety. I will fight to make sure safety is a top priority of my administration. We currently live in unprecedented times where safety is questioned daily. I will fight and support full funding for our law enforcement and first responders so they can do their jobs without feeling handcuffed by the system. I also want to see our veterans being hired in our schools to patrol the perimeters as I strongly feel they are the most qualified for active situations. We must focus on safety, it’s a human right to be safe.
- Mental Health Resources. As a father of a beautiful daughter that suffered from mental health and bullying issues growing up, I know first hand how important mental health resources can change a persons life. I will fight for funding to make sure our schools, law enforcement agencies and mental health care facilities have the proper resources and funding. Mental health is so vitally important to everyone and it is something we can not ignore.
Also mental health, as I have a personal connection to ensure mental health is accessible to everyone that needs resources.
Quality Education. Our children need to come out of high school ready to take on the world. Currently the curriculum is not up to standards in Florida and that needs to change ASAP.
Elder Care. 30 percent of our population in Florida are senior citizens and we are lacking horribly in safe care and support facilities.
I am also passionate about our infrastructure and the growing demand from our massively increase in population.
Public Transportation
Employee Retention or filling open positions
Affordable Housing
Proper funding of mental healthcare
Border crisis and fentanyl coming into our communities
Education Reform
Getting rid of the corrupt school boards
The drawback is you have no opposition to keep checks and balances in place. I am not a fan of the unicameral system because it’s to limited in its effectiveness to be fair to the peoples needs. I feel decisions could be made more on agendas then for the people.
Commerce and Tourism
Education
Environment and natural resources
Military and veteran affairs
Rick Roth
President
Also I know a few people that lived through the MSD shooting in Parkland and how School Safety has still not really been resolved this many years later. It breaks my heart to have parents fearful of their kids going to school. This is so impactful to me and I want to make sure this doesn’t happen again.
