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 position

America needs a secure, orderly, and humane immigration system. I support strengthening border security, reducing legal immigration backlogs, modernizing visa programs that support our economy, and providing certainty for Dreamers who have grown up in this country. Businesses throughout Hillsborough and Pasco Counties need a reliable workforce, while families deserve clear and consistently enforced laws. Immigration policy should be established by Congress through legislation rather than temporary executive actions. We can uphold the rule of law, protect our borders, and treat people with dignity while supporting economic growth and national security.

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 position

Yes. Climate change presents financial risks to families, businesses, and taxpayers. In Florida, homeowners are already experiencing rising insurance costs, stronger storms, flooding, and extreme heat. Families across Hillsborough and Pasco Counties see these costs directly through insurance premiums, infrastructure damage, and disaster recovery expenses. Investing in resilient infrastructure, flood mitigation, and practical energy solutions can reduce long-term costs while protecting our economy, public safety, property values, and quality of life.

Name your top two legislative priorities for the next Congressional term. Mencione sus dos principales prioridades legislativas para el próximo período del Congreso.

My first priority is lowering the cost of living for working families by addressing housing affordability, rising property insurance premiums, healthcare expenses, and protecting Social Security and Medicare. My second priority is restoring accountability and trust in government. The Constitution established checks and balances to protect Americans from government overreach. Congress must fulfill its oversight responsibilities, increase transparency, protect voting rights, and ensure government works effectively and responsibly for the people it serves.

“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 position

Freedom of speech means every American has the right to express opinions, criticize government, advocate for change, practice religion, gather peacefully, and participate in public debate without fear of government censorship or retaliation. The First Amendment protects speech we agree with and speech we may strongly disagree with. A healthy democracy depends on open dialogue, access to information, and an informed electorate. Voters should be trusted to evaluate competing ideas and make their own decisions at the ballot box.

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 position

Both branches have important constitutional responsibilities. The President manages the Executive Branch and federal agencies, while Congress creates agencies, appropriates funding, conducts oversight, and ensures laws are implemented as intended. Our system of government depends on checks and balances. Strong congressional oversight helps maintain accountability, transparency, and public trust while ensuring no branch of government exercises authority without appropriate constitutional safeguards.

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

Every eligible citizen should have a meaningful opportunity to exercise their constitutional right to vote. If additional documentation requirements are imposed, government should ensure required records are affordable, accessible, and easy to obtain. I would support streamlined processes, reasonable fee waivers, online access where feasible, and assistance for individuals whose names have changed through marriage, adoption, or other circumstances. Election security and voter access should work together, not against one another. Eligible voters should not lose their ability to participate in our democracy because government has made documentation difficult or expensive to obtain.

What role do you believe the federal government should play in education at the pre-school level, K-12 level and higher education? ¿Qué papel cree que debería desempeñar el gobierno federal en la educación a nivel preescolar, educación K-12 (primaria y secundaria) y educación superior?

Candidate position

The federal government should be a partner in expanding educational opportunity while respecting the primary role of states and local school districts. At the preschool level, federal programs should support access to quality early learning opportunities because early success can have lifelong benefits. In K-12 education, the federal government should help ensure equal opportunity, support students with disabilities, strengthen career and technical education, and assist underserved communities. For higher education, the federal government should help make college, technical training, apprenticeships, and workforce credentials more affordable and accessible. In growing communities like Hillsborough and Pasco Counties, preparing students for good-paying jobs is critical to economic opportunity, workforce development, and long-term prosperity.
