What reforms to the US immigration system do you support? Why? ¿Qué reformas al sistema de inmigración de Estados Unidos apoya usted? ¿Por qué?
Candidate positionSimplifying and streamlining the pathways to citizenship and making the process the same for all groups of people. The Statue of Liberty is inscribed with "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." and generations before us came to this country with much less restrictions. I believe immigrants make this country great and we need to make it easy to come here in a legal manner and get citizenship in 3-5 years so that people can participate in democracy and pay into the system.

Do you believe climate change is a financial threat to the economy of the nation? Why or why not? ¿Cree que el cambio climático representa una amenaza financiera para la economía del país? ¿Por qué?
Candidate positionYes, I believe in the Green New Deal and funding alternatives to fossil fuel. Florida is particularly exposed to climate change due to Hurricanes and wet bulb events which will only get worse as climate change continues acting as a net negative to the state's economy and making it less economically viable to live here. We need to think about and fund long term efforts to combat climate change and help future generations be prepared for the changes they will face because of it.

If documentary proof of US citizenship becomes necessary in order to register to vote, how would you help those citizens, especially women, who no longer have or don’t have easy and affordable access to documents to prove citizenship, such as certified birth and marriage certificates? Si se requiere prueba documental de ciudadanía estadounidense para registrarse para votar, ¿cómo ayudaría a esos ciudadanos, especialmente a las mujeres, que ya no tienen o no tienen acceso fácil y asequible a documentos que prueben su ciudadanía, como certificados de nacimiento o matrimonio certificados?
Candidate positionBy making it free for women and all people to get these documents by having the government reimburse you for the expense required to obtain the document – otherwise it's effectively a poll tax to prevent people from excising their right to vote. I would also make it an offense for a government official to delay or obstruct someone who is trying to obtain those documents in order to protect the right to vote.

Especially as families struggle with rising costs like groceries, we should have universal free school meals to ensure children are properly fed and prepared for learning.
