Being raised in a military family, I grew up with a deep respect for discipline, duty, and country. That sense of purpose led me to enlist in the Army at just 20 years old, beginning a career that has spanned nearly two decades across active duty and reserve service.

Our immigration system is broken, and we need a fair, practical fix. I support a clear, earned pathway to citizenship for long‑term undocumented immigrants and Dreamers who are working, paying taxes, and contributing to our communities, paired with smart, humane border security. We should keep families together, protect people seeking asylum, and modernize our system so businesses and farms can hire the workers they need without forcing people into the shadows. That approach is better for our economy, safer for our communities, and more consistent with America’s values.

Yes. Climate change is already costing us billions through stronger hurricanes, floods, wildfires, heat waves, and higher insurance premiums, and those costs hit Florida especially hard. When homes become uninsurable, small businesses can’t reopen after storms, and taxpayers keep footing the bill for disasters, that is a direct threat to our national and local economy. If we invest now in clean energy, resilient infrastructure, and protecting our coasts, we can save money over the long term, create good‑paying jobs, and keep Florida a place where families and businesses can afford to stay.

My first priority is protecting our democracy and voting rights. That means fighting partisan gerrymandering, restoring and strengthening the Voting Rights Act, expanding early voting and vote‑by‑mail, and making sure every eligible voter in Florida can cast a ballot that is counted. My second priority is rebuilding basic economic security for working families. I will work to raise the federal minimum wage to at least 15 dollars as a floor on the way to a true living wage, support unions and small businesses, and lower costs for health care and housing so people are not one emergency away from losing everything.

To me, freedom of speech means that people can speak, write, and express their views, especially about government and public issues, without fear of punishment or retaliation from the government. It protects the right to criticize elected officials, to organize and protest, and for communities who have often been silenced, including religious and racial minorities, to share their experiences and demand equal treatment. Freedom of speech does not mean there are no consequences for what we say, but it does mean the government should not be in the business of banning books, censoring lawful speech, or shutting down peaceful protest, while still enforcing laws against true threats and targeted harassment.

Both branches have a role in overseeing federal agencies, but in different ways. Congress creates and funds the agencies, writes the laws they must follow, holds hearings, and uses its oversight powers to make sure they are carrying out those laws and spending taxpayer money responsibly. The President leads the executive branch day to day and is responsible for making sure agencies faithfully execute the laws, appointing and, when necessary, removing agency leaders. A healthy system requires both: an engaged Congress that asks tough questions and a responsible President who manages the agencies in line with the law, not for personal or partisan gain

I oppose new paperwork barriers that make it harder for eligible citizens to register and vote. Instead of forcing people to hunt down old documents, I support automatic voter registration, where eligible citizens are added to the rolls when they interact with government agencies, similar to how draft registration works. Agencies already collect the information needed to confirm citizenship and identity, so we should use that data to keep our rolls accurate and complete while making sure women, older voters, and low‑income citizens are never blocked from voting just because they cannot afford or easily access a certified birth or marriage certificate.

I believe the federal government should be a partner in education, not a micromanager. At every level, from pre‑K through college, the federal role should be to set basic civil rights protections and high expectations for quality, while helping states and local districts meet them. That means expanding access to quality pre‑K, setting and supporting strong K‑12 standards so every child gets at least a basic floor of opportunity no matter their ZIP code, and helping fund schools so they can pay teachers fairly and provide up‑to‑date books, technology, and safe buildings. For higher education, the federal government should rein in predatory lending, expand grants and affordable paths like community college and trade programs, and make sure cost is never the reason a qualified student can’t continue their education.
