The future of our nation depends on evidence-based policy.

Our immigration system is broken and inhumane. My priority will be fixing the process by investing in modern technology and adequate staffing to ensure efficient, fair, and timely legal processing. I firmly reject profiling based on apparent race, ethnicity, or the language an individual speaks for unwarranted detention or deportation. I support establishing a pathway to legal status for long-term residents and DACA recipients, strengthening our borders, and restoring integrity, compassion, and the rule of law to our national immigration policy.

To stop corruption, we must cut off politicians' ability to help themselves and stop big money from running Washington. I will push for the bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act to stop all members of Congress, their spouses, and children from buying or selling individual stocks. Also, I support systems that give small donations more power. This makes sure candidates listen to everyday people, not wealthy special interests, to win elections.

I am running for Congress to give the power back to the people through a two part plan called Direct Democracy. First, I will create an education video for every major bill in DC to explain exactly what is in the law without any political spin. Second, after you have the facts, I will open a secure district wide vote using the Digital Democracy Project and Voatz. I promise that my official vote in Washington will always follow the majority of our community, even if I personally disagree with the result.

I believe immigrants are vital to America. I would champion legislation that would update our current system. One of the reasons we have so many undocumented immigrants is that the process takes way too long. Some people have been waiting on the list for over a decade. In the case of high-demand nations like Mexico, this wait can stretch up to 25 years. If this is the case, then we cannot be surprised when people take the matter into their own hands. One way to help this would be with technology. I would propose that we streamline the process, while always maintaining an actual person in the loop. Upgrading processes like data entry and digitizing files would be a great first step in this effort while maintaining the security of human review.

Absolutely, climate change is a financial threat to Florida and our nation. Here in Florida, we are on the front lines of this economic reality. The increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events are causing a massive impact on our property insurance, driving up premiums. In an already crowded housing market, this places an additional barrier in front of hardworking families. These extreme weather crises also put a massive financial burden on local governments to repair and reinforce critical infrastructure. We need to focus on preventative measures instead of more costly reactive solutions. I believe the United States should focus heavily on renewable energy. There are so many great companies that are working on cheaper, non-polluting alternatives, and the government needs to adopt these technologies at all levels. Denying climate change is denying science and facts, which is something that I will never do.

My first priority is to stop government corruption. I believe in term limits, no stock trading, and common sense laws to ensure our representatives do not abuse their positions. Instead, we must be a direct voice for our district. My platform of Direct Democracy will achieve this without changing a single law! For each major bill in DC, I will create an educational video explaining it in simple terms using only facts, with no political party messaging. After that, we will open it up to a district-wide vote using secure technology. Whatever the majority opinion is, is exactly how I will vote in Congress. I will put power back in the hands of the people. My second priority is to bring my tech skills to Congress, which are severely lacking. We need strict laws for AI, crypto, and digital privacy. My background as an engineer and professor will help make sure these technologies lead our country to a brighter future and keep us at the forefront of global innovation.

In my opinion, freedom of speech is the foundation that a free country is built on. We need the ability to speak truth to power in order to hold our leaders accountable. Our current government too often seeks to dampen this right. Threatening protesters, making wrongful arrests, and using force against American citizens in the streets for standing up for what they believe is entirely un-American. The open debate of ideas is fundamental for a working democracy. Somewhere along the way, we seem to have forgotten this truth, and it has divided our country. As a representative in Congress, I will listen to all opinions and focus on policies over parties. Policies can unite people where parties tend to divide us. I have been talking to people of all backgrounds in our district for almost a year now. Beneath the minor disagreements used by parties to divide us, everyday citizens all want the same thing: a safe, secure future for themselves and their families.

The answer to this is a bit complicated. Both Congress and the President have a role in overseeing federal agencies. Congress creates the laws and agencies, and they hold power over them by controlling their funding. The Executive branch is designed to run those agencies and ensure they enforce those laws correctly. This system of checks and balances was designed to keep any one person from acquiring too much power. This is great in theory, but our current system is broken. Congress is failing to do its job. Career politicians are too busy fighting each other for sound bites instead of overseeing these agencies. This gridlock is why the President often bypasses them as he tries to rule our nation alone. This is NOT how our government was designed to work, and it is why we have so many cracks in it at the moment. As your representative, I will work to restore the balance our three branches need to function. Congress needs to work for the people instead of companies and lobbyists.

First off, this is another of those wedge issues designed to divide our population. We all want strong elections, and the good news is that we already have them! The Heritage Foundation did a report and found that there were 68 documented cases of noncitizen voting in the last 40 years. Of those, only 10 cases involved undocumented immigrants. The rest were mostly legal green card holders who made administrative mistakes. This is out of over a billion votes that were cast. The government has the mandate to make voting easier, not harder, and we cannot have any added costs to vote. If the government demands proof of U.S. citizenship, then we need to fund that process at every level. I will draft legislation that will make it free to obtain the paperwork required. This should not fall on each individual citizen, as this would place the heaviest burden on lower-income families.

As an educator of over 20 years, teaching everything from fashion design to computer programming, I know that education is the foundation of America. We cannot fall behind other countries. For pre-school, the federal government must help states fund universal early education so every child gets a fair start, regardless of their zip code. For K-12, we must set a high national baseline for student success. But while we need high standards, a rigid federal system will fail because every school faces unique challenges. We must fully fund our public schools, pay teachers what they deserve, and remove administrative barriers so local educators have the freedom to actually teach. For higher education, over 40 million Americans are crushed by student debt. We need a zero-interest federal loan program for new students. We must also allow anyone currently struggling with existing loans to refinance to this 0% rate, so people can invest in their futures without getting trapped in lifelong debt.
