What’s happening: Working families, seniors, and homeowners are being squeezed from every direction. Property insurance is up. Groceries are up. Utilities are up. Property taxes should not be another burden pushing people out of the homes and communities they helped build.

What I’ll do: I’ll push for a federal reinsurance backstop to help stabilize the market, lower risk, and bring real pressure down on premium costs. This is not just a talking point. With real-world experience around the property insurance industry, I understand how this crisis hits homeowners, businesses, and working families across Florida’s Heartland.

What I’ll do: I’ll fight to cut through the red tape and make sure veterans in the Heartland can access timely, local medical care. If the VA cannot provide care close to home and within a reasonable timeframe, veterans should have a clear path to covered local providers without the runaround.
