As your Representative, I want to ensure America's borders are secure through smart, efficient enforcement, while maintaining a fair and humane immigration system that respects due process. I believe in the following measures: Smart and Efficient Enforcement: Securing America's borders through modernized, efficient law enforcement measures rather than solely focusing on reactive tactics. Due Process Protections: Restoring and maintaining legal due process within the immigration system to ensure all individuals are treated under the law. Humane Legal Framework: Developing a system that respects human dignity, specifically ensuring that enforcement policies do not exploit or mistreat families.

Yes. I believe climate change is not just an environmental issue, but also a practical pocketbook issue that drives up inflation and threatens middle-class economic security. Climate change is a significant financial threat to both the local and national economy. Specifically in Florida, rising insurance and housing costs are major economic burdens. Intensifying climate directly impacts the instability of the property insurance market, which leaves homeowners vulnerable to skyrocketing premiums or the loss of coverage. Also, the economic cost of ignoring climate change is severe. Examples of intense storms like Hurricanes Ian, Helene, and Milton left a significant financial burden on the community. I support building resilient infrastructure upfront because trying to rebuild communities after a disaster is far more expensive.

I advocate for a strong legislative branch that acts as a check on executive power. Congress must utilize its authority to audit federal agencies, implement policy, and demand transparency.

I vow to continue to fight for the protection of individual liberties and I believe democratic rights should be accessible to all citizens, rather than limited by costly legal requirements or administrative blockades. I vow to continue my commitment to protecting federal voting access, specifically advocating against the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Any strict administrative hurdles are modern methods of voter disenfranchisement.

I strongly believe that the federal government should step in to bolster state budgets, particularly in states like Florida that rank near the bottom nationally in public school funding. My plan is to- Leveraging Federal Grants: I support aggressively pursuing and securing federal education grants to supplement local funding. Targeting High-Need Schools: I believe federal dollars should prioritize low-income, underfunded, and high-need public schools to prevent them from closing down. Expanding Trade Programs: Endorsed by the AFL-CIO, I actively push for the federal expansion of trade education, apprenticeships, and vocational training. High-Demand Alignment: I advocate for federal support of workforce development initiatives that equip students with tangible skills required for high-demand, local industries.
