Stop the Bleeding
Candidate positionHealthcare subsidies are already gone. SNAP cuts are scheduled to hit after the election. Benefits punish us for earning a raise. Some things can’t wait for a five-year plan. These are the emergency lanes.

Wall Street keeps hitting new highs. Main Street has been in recession for years.
Candidate positionAnd it’s getting worse. I’m not running because I have all the answers. I’m running because I have a plan — and my priority locally is to bring back the money we send to Washington and invest it in us, based on our needs.

Healthcare Emergency
Candidate positionClose the Medicaid coverage gap at the federal level. Florida refused to expand Medicaid. That left hundreds of thousands of people making too much for Medicaid, too little for ACA subsidies. Washington created the gap. Washington needs to close it.

No Plan, No Safety Net
Candidate positionAir Force Meteorologist The Air Force gave me structure when I had none. I served at weather stations doing 24-hour shift work — forecasting in a shop that never closed. Like a fire station or an ER — always on, peaks and lulls, but the mission doesn’t stop because the clock says five o’clock. I also had the opportunity to work in an assignment that combined that real-time operations tempo with a think tank environment — analyzing problems, making plans for the future, figuring out how to get things done when there’s no rulebook but the mission still has to be solved. That’s where I learned that a large bureaucratic organization can also be nimble — if you know who to talk to and how to work behind the scenes without breaking any rules. In my final years I started putting down roots — investing in real estate, making commitments, building something for the first time.

11 Years of High School Math
Candidate positionFull-Time Caregiver Mom My mother’s health declined to where she needed 24-hour care. I quit teaching. Caregiving for a parent is unusually hard because we’re fighting a losing battle and we know it. I’m fortunate — my mom had a physical disability, but her mind was sharp to the end. I once met a couple who were taking care of their dad who had dementia. We both understood we’d drawn a short stick — but I knew mine was longer.

Picking Myself Up
Candidate positionSmall Business Cricket Wireless Stores I opened Cricket Wireless stores here in Florida — with locations in the rural parts of the district as well as Gainesville. It was a good opportunity for me, for the people I’d be hiring, and for the customers we’d serve. Years of saving, investing, and living within my means gave me a backstop — and that backstop is what made the leap possible. Everything I’d learned came together: the military’s behind-the-scenes problem-solving, the teacher’s instinct to empower people, and now a firsthand understanding of how all segments of this district work and overlap — rural and urban, struggling and thriving, all shopping at the same counter. Then COVID hit. It was a hard blow, but I thought I could still make it. Then 2023 started and the economy began to slow. I had to make the painful decision to exit the business. It’s the feeling you get staring at the river with most of your money in the pot, realizing you’re drawing dead. You fold — not because you want to, but because you have to protect what’s left so you can still play a hand in the future.

Cost of Living
Candidate positionFix the benefits trap. Right now, earn one dollar too much and you lose everything. A single mom gets a $1/hour raise and loses $5,000 in housing, food, and childcare assistance overnight. Benefits should phase out gradually, not vanish at an arbitrary line. Nobody should be punished for getting a raise.

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 positionImmigration, in four parts: • Citizenship clock: starts at identification, not before; speeds up with work, English, and service; stops at a violent crime; sneaking in adds time that good choices earn back. • A legal lane for the seasonal farm labor our district depends on, so the same crews return each year, on the books. • A legal ID that brings the law-abiding into the system: work credits roll onto Social Security at citizenship, and a child raised in it graduates a citizen. • Root cause: give Americans a real way out of poverty. Fewer then turn to drugs, and less of that money flows south to the cartels whose violence pushes families north.

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. In Florida it isn't a someday threat, it's a bill we're already paying: • Home insurance is collapsing, and property values sit exposed to flood and storm. • Stronger storms and rising seas force coastal towns like Cedar Key to spend just to stay above water. • Heat drives utility bills up, while drought and flood both hit our farms. • Saltwater is creeping into the aquifer we drink from. • And it lands hardest on working people, as cost and as stress. Pretending otherwise doesn't lower the bill; it hands it to our kids. The fix that cuts the risk also cuts the cost: clean energy we own ourselves, not one big grid that fails when the storm hits.

Name your top two legislative priorities for the next Congressional term. Mencione sus dos principales prioridades legislativas para el próximo período del Congreso.
Candidate positionBoth are one idea: securing our independence. • Economic independence, ahead of the crash I see coming. We were told to put all our eggs in one basket, the market, and call it retirement. That basket won't hold. I'd bring investment home and build an economy this district owns: local co-ops, community-owned broadband and energy, and a floor no one falls below, including healthcare a crisis can't take away, with mobile clinics that reach rural counties, not just the cities. • Data independence: our own information should belong to us. Companies harvest it, sell it, and use it to steer us, with no say and no share. I'd give people real ownership of their data, plain consent instead of buried fine print, and the right to say no. One fight on two fronts: putting control back in our hands.

“Freedom of speech” is included in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Exactly what does ”Freedom of Speech” mean to you? La libertad de expresión está incluida en la Primera Enmienda de la Constitución de los Estados Unidos. ¿Qué significa exactamente para usted la “libertad de expresión”?
Candidate positionAt its core, free speech is equal rights and equal opportunity: the same voice for everyone, powerful or powerless. • It's the golden rule. We protect the speech we hate, because that's the only way the speech we love stays free. • Government can't punish us for what we say, above all for criticizing those in power. • I swore an oath as a veteran to defend that against all enemies, foreign and domestic. The gravest threats now are domestic: a government punishing its critics, or a few platforms deciding who gets heard.

Who has the right, Congress or the President, to oversee federal agencies? ¿Quién tiene el derecho de supervisar a las agencias federales: el Congreso o el Presidente?
Candidate positionCongress, under Article I. • Agencies exist because Congress created them, funds them, and writes the laws they carry out, so oversight is Congress's job. • The President's role is to faithfully execute those laws, not to decide unilaterally what agencies do or defund what Congress ordered. • For a generation Congress handed its authority to the executive, then complained about the result. • I'd reclaim it: real oversight hearings, power-of-the-purse conditions, and sunsets so no authority runs on autopilot. On the agencies voters pay for, the people's branch should do its job again.

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 position• I'd fight any rule that strips the vote from eligible citizens over documents they once had: people who changed their name (most often women), the elderly, the rural, the low-income. • The real fix is to use what the government already has. The Social Security Administration already records whether someone is a citizen, so let that record do the proving, not a birth-certificate scavenger hunt. Confirm it through a Social Security login or other secure government ID. • And bring it to people instead of making them drive hours: mobile, host-site help at libraries and county offices for anyone without a smartphone. That's the catalyst's job: completing the circuit so the right we already hold actually reaches us.

Candidate positionWith an administration set on shrinking the federal footprint, my job is to be the catalyst: protect the money already flowing to our schools and bring more home with as few strings as possible, so the district decides its own path. • College is the exception, where Washington already holds the purse. Use it to fund students with grants, not debt: a GI Bill for all. • And the biggest thing Washington can do for a child isn't in the school at all: give the family a stable floor. A child whose family is one missed paycheck from disaster can't focus in class. Short term, restore and expand the safety nets being cut: SNAP, Medicaid, the ACA, Section 8 housing. Long term, build a financial floor under every family, enough to cover basic needs and bring the stress down. Steady the families and the rest follows.
