Whether dealing with insurance claims, fraud, or financial scams, Floridians deserve an advocate who will stand up for them.

Florida requires proactive, pragmatic resilience. To stabilize the market against environmental disasters, we must enforce stricter building codes and invest heavily in infrastructure resilience—particularly coastal and flood mitigation—to reduce the underlying risk. Stabilization means demanding transparent, risk-based modeling from insurers. This also means robust enforcement of third - party contractors and maximizing transparency in all situations to protect all parties involved. We cannot permit companies to blindly shift the costs of environmental risks to everyday Floridians while evading their own financial obligations when a disaster occurs.

This crisis is driven by a lack of strict regulatory oversight, unchecked corporate greed, lack of aggressive enforcement of third parties, and the escalating severity of natural disasters. Too many insurers are prioritizing profits over policyholders, resulting in exorbitant rate hikes and bad-faith claim denials. However, this is not only the insurers; my job as CFO is also to ensure consumers and contractors are operating transparently and ethically to ensure companies are protected as well. As CFO, I will prioritize consumer protection. I plan to launch aggressive audits of insurance companies, contractors, abusive litigation, investigate unjustifiable rate hikes, and ensure that providers operating in Florida actually fulfill their legal obligations to policyholders. If a company denies legitimate claims to line its pockets, the company will face accountability.

Florida must base its investment priorities entirely on fiscal responsibility, long-term stability, and securing the financial future of our communities, which includes robust, reliable pension management. Our investments should focus on infrastructure, education, and resilience projects that yield tangible economic returns. Fiduciary duty and objective data, not partisan gridlock, must guide financial decisions. The financial health of the state and protecting taxpayers must always take precedence over using public funds to wage political or social battles.

Florida's natural resources protect our economy and our way of life. As a father raising two sons here, I want them to inherit the same unique environment that makes this state great. My core belief is that we should act early to preserve the environment. We must fully fund and fiercely protect initiatives like the Florida Forever program, safeguarding our state parks and coastal areas from overdevelopment. Conservation isn't just about environmental stewardship; it is a critical component of our state's infrastructure resilience against flooding and storms.
