No family should have to choose between paying for medicine or putting food on the table. I will fight to lower healthcare costs, protect and expand Medicare and Medicaid, and increase access to quality care for seniors, children, and working families. That is why I am champion for free universal healthcare.

As a former law enforcement officer and EMS veteran, I know firsthand what it takes to keep our communities safe. That means investing in first responders, reducing crime, and building trust between law enforcement and the communities we serve. We must still hold law enforcement to a higher standard and push for more de-escalation training and accountability.

I believe government should protect our freedoms, not take them away. I will fight to ensure every voice is heard, every vote is counted, and every Floridian has the right to make decisions about their own lives. Especially women, where the right to choose is being taken away from them and LGBTQIA+ communities, where the right to choose who you want to love is also being attacked.

Florida is home to incredible wildlife and ecosystems that deserve our protection. I support stronger safeguards for animals, their habitats, and the natural spaces they rely on to survive. Protecting wildlife also means keeping our waterways clean, preserving green spaces, and holding those who harm or exploit animals accountable.

Large data centers can place significant demands on local energy, water, and infrastructure. I oppose unchecked expansion that benefits major corporations while leaving nearby residents to deal with the environmental and financial consequences. Any proposed development must be transparent, responsibly planned, and proven to serve the community without threatening our natural resources or quality of life.

Above all, Ronnie’s campaign is about people. He has seen how broken systems and failed leadership have left too many behind, and he is running for Congress to change that. With real-world experience, a proven record of service, and a deep commitment to justice, Ronnie will fight every day to ensure the voices of Florida’s 6th District are heard in Washington.

PROTECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT

Everyday people are being crushed by rising costs. I will fight for fair and livable wages, good-paying jobs, and economic policies that put working families first and not corporate special interests. We must strengthen unions and protect workers from greedy corporations.

Florida’s beaches, waterways, trees, and natural spaces are part of what makes our state so special. I believe we have a responsibility to protect these resources from pollution, overdevelopment, and decisions that prioritize short-term profits over our communities. We can support responsible growth while preserving clean water, healthy neighborhoods, and Florida’s natural beauty for generations to come.

I support comprehensive immigration reform that secures our borders while treating people with dignity and humanity. Our current system is broken, creating years-long backlogs, separating families, and leaving both immigrants and employers without clear pathways. I support creating a pathway to citizenship for long-term undocumented residents who contribute to our communities, protecting Dreamers through permanent legislation, modernizing and speeding up legal immigration processes, and ensuring asylum claims are reviewed fairly and efficiently. I also support addressing the root causes of migration through diplomacy and economic development. As a former law enforcement officer, I believe we can have both secure borders and humane immigration policies. America is strongest when we uphold the rule of law while respecting human rights and keeping families together.

Yes. Climate change is already creating significant financial costs for American families, businesses, and taxpayers. We see it in rising insurance premiums, stronger hurricanes, flooding, extreme heat, damage to infrastructure, and disruptions to agriculture and supply chains. In Florida, these impacts are especially visible. Communities are dealing with increased flooding, coastal erosion, stronger storms, and skyrocketing property insurance costs. Ignoring climate change will only make these economic challenges worse and more expensive to address in the future. I support investing in clean energy, modern infrastructure, environmental conservation, and climate resilience projects that create good-paying jobs while protecting our communities. Addressing climate change is not only an environmental issue; it is an economic and public safety issue that affects families, businesses, and future generations.

My top two legislative priorities are lowering costs for working families and protecting our democracy. First, I will fight to make healthcare, childcare, housing, and prescription medications more affordable. No family should have to choose between paying rent, buying groceries, or getting medical care. I support expanding access to healthcare, lowering prescription drug prices, and investing in programs that help working families succeed. I will fight for universal healthcare. Second, I will work to strengthen and protect our democratic institutions. That includes protecting voting rights, ending gerrymandering, increasing government transparency, banning members of Congress from trading stocks, and reducing the influence of special interest money in our elections. Government should work for the people, not wealthy donors and special interests.

Freedom of speech is one of the most important rights guaranteed by the Constitution. It protects every person’s right to express their opinions, criticize their government, advocate for change, practice their faith, organize peacefully, and participate in public debate without fear of government censorship. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from criticism or accountability, but it does mean that the government should not silence people because of their political beliefs, religion, identity, or viewpoint. As someone running for public office, I believe democracy is strongest when people can openly discuss issues, challenge those in power, and make their voices heard.

Every eligible American citizen should be able to exercise their constitutional right to vote. If documentary proof of citizenship is required, the government has a responsibility to ensure that obtaining those documents is affordable or free, accessible, and straightforward or able to be obtain quickly. I would support waiving fees for essential citizenship documents for voting purposes, expanding access through online and local government services, and providing assistance to seniors, low-income individuals, rural residents, women whose names have changed through marriage, and others who may face barriers obtaining documentation. Election laws should protect election integrity while ensuring that no eligible citizen is denied the opportunity to vote because of cost, bureaucracy, or lack of access to records.

The federal government should help ensure that every child, regardless of their zip code, has access to a high-quality education. At the preschool level, I support expanding access to affordable early childhood education because research consistently shows that early learning improves long-term educational and economic outcomes. For K-12 education, the federal government should provide equitable funding, fully fund IDEA for students with disabilities, support teachers, protect civil rights, and ensure that public schools have the resources necessary to help students succeed. For higher education, I support making college, trade schools, and workforce training programs more affordable, if not free and accessible. Students should be able to pursue higher education without being burdened by overwhelming debt. Because investing in education strengthens our workforce, our economy, and our nation’s future.
