The People's House Is in Disrepair

Candidate position

Washington has lost sight of the people it is supposed to serve. Costs are up, trust is down, and too many leaders treat accountability like someone else's job. Troy is running because the country needs serious people who will steady the house, fix what is broken, and remember who it belongs to.

Florida Needs Practical Fixes

Candidate position

North Central Florida does not need more slogans. It needs representation that looks at real problems in real communities and pushes for practical solutions people can actually see: access to care, lower costs, stronger local infrastructure, support for rural culture, and a government that treats Florida's problems like they matter.

The People's House Is in Disrepair

Candidate position

Families should not have to work harder every year just to fall further behind. The economy should make it easier to build a life, raise a family, and plan for the future. Troy believes government should focus on lowering the pressure on working people, strengthening opportunity, and rewarding real work instead of accepting a country where basic stability feels out of reach.

Florida Needs Practical Fixes

Candidate position

Florida should protect both its natural heritage and the people who travel through it. Wildlife conservation is not just about scenery. It is about safety, stewardship, and building infrastructure that respects the land. Troy wants to support ideas like wildlife crossings in high-conflict areas around Paynes Prairie and similar corridors, helping reduce collisions while protecting the landscapes that make Florida unique.

The People's House Is in Disrepair

Candidate position

Power must answer to the people, not operate without serious civilian scrutiny. Civilian oversight is not optional in a healthy republic. Troy believes Congress has a duty to watch the executive branch carefully, uphold its constitutional role, and ensure that military and civilian power remain accountable to the American people.

Florida Needs Practical Fixes

Candidate position

Rural culture deserves real investment, not just applause once a year. County fairgrounds and similar community spaces are part of the civic backbone of small-town Florida. Troy wants to support targeted federal investments that help modernize these spaces, including basic improvements like bathrooms and public facilities, so they can better serve families, events, and local traditions across the district.

The People's House Is in Disrepair

Candidate position

Health insurance should help people get care, not stand between families and their doctors. Too many Americans are paying more every year for premiums, deductibles, prescriptions, and surprise bills while still wondering whether the care they need will actually be covered. Troy believes Congress needs to take health insurance seriously as a cost-of-living issue: protect access to care, lower out-of-pocket costs, fight waste and abuse in the system, and make sure insurance companies are serving patients instead of trapping them in paperwork and denial.

Florida families need an economy that creates work, lowers pressure, and gives people room to build a life. Too many people feel squeezed between rising prices and limited opportunity. Troy wants to focus on the kind of policies that help North Central Florida grow from the ground up: stronger local employment, support for working families, and a district where economic stability is not reserved for a few ZIP codes.

Affordable care should be within reach for ordinary Americans, not a constant financial gamble.

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

1. Border security is a piece to the solution. The country has an interest in ensuring contraband does not cross into our country. 2. Legal pathways is the next piece. There needs to be a method or procedure for people to legally migrant to America. Our strength is in our diversity. Along the same line our work visa program needs to be expanded. The current system limits or obstructs business's ability to grow. 3. There has to be pathways to citizenship or legalization for illegal immigrants that have been peacefully living among us for years. There is a greater harm to our economy by deporting these immigrants then there is by bring them out of the shadows. 4. Bottom line is this. The last time Congress passed immigration laws was in 1996. It has been thirty years now. The technology has changed. The country has changed. The world has changed. Now it is time for the law to change.

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 is real. Yes, climate change is a financial threat to the economy. Weather phenomena are increasing in frequency and intensity.

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

Candidate position

The first priority is the economy. It is all about jobs. The high unemployment rate combined with a high inflation rate mixed with a restrictive trade policy is chocking the economy. People need to work to be able to put a roof over their head, food on the table, and clothes on their baby's backs. The second priority has to be protecting people's benefits. Protecting veterans from having their benefits terminated. Ensuring Social Security benefits are honored and paid. Protecting Medicare and Medicaid receipts from harassment and termination of their benefits.

“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 that each person has the right to express themselves. This expression should be free from government interference or criminal sanctions. This idea is a core or bedrock principle in our society. This right can be regulated but cannot be interfered with. For example, a person cannot yell fire in a crowded theater, yet people cannot be criminal prosecuted for saying something controversial.

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

The problem is in the question. The United States of America does not issue citizenship documents to it's people. This entire issue is being used as a tool to disenfranchise voters. Not every person in America has a birth certificate. For example, people born abroad have a Consular Report of Birth Abroad (CRBA) issued by the State Department. They way to help voters would be to vote against this idea at every opportunity.

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 first issue is to reestablish the Department of Education. It is the role of the federal government to ensure that every state in the nation is held to the same standard. That is a student in one state receives the same education as a student in any other state.
