★Healthcare is broken. Someone has to fix it.

Candidate position

Right now some nurses in Florida nursing homes caring for up to 45 patients in an eight-hour shift. That is the reality. Mental health goes untreated and families cannot afford basic care. As a Congresswoman, I will fight to introduce federal nurse-to-patient ratio legislation that sets mandatory safe staffing ratio. No more impossible choices. No more preventable deaths, and that‘s my promise to you!
