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 positionOur immigration system is broken and cruel, but it can be fixed. While the Biden administration made many missteps on the border, major components of their plan are worthy. We must streamline the path to citizenship. That means bringing on new immigration judges and hiring additional asylum officers and support staff. We must welcome and protect refugees fleeing persecution in the American tradition. We must enhance immigration courts to help address the backlog, as well as provide support to resettle refugees. We must improve border control with cutting-edge technology at ports of entry, and demand accountability from our Border Patrol agents and Customs and Border Protection (CPB) officers. Finally, we must work with domestic industries that hire immigrants, like agriculture, construction, and tourism, to support both business and immigrant success and safety.

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 positionThere is no doubt that climate change is a financial threat to our economy. Florida is a perfect example of the damage climate change is causing our economy, costing tens of billions of dollars annually, by several estimates. For instance: • Our Children’s Trust estimates hurricanes, cost Florida roughly $50 billion per year in damages. • Our energy costs are rising at a ridiculous rate, driven by the greed of NextEra energy, the parent company of FPL, which has the highest profit margin among US investor-owned utilities. • Shifting weather patterns have altered the growing season for our large agriculture sector, making the cost of Florida’s fruits and vegetables more expensive. The list goes on and on. • The Trump administration’s illogical move away from renewable energy in favor of fossil fuels only ensures efforts to provide cleaner energy are pushed farther into the future, meaning the damage to the environment and our health will continue to worsen.

Name your top two legislative priorities for the next Congressional term. Mencione sus dos principales prioridades legislativas para el próximo período del Congreso.
Candidate positionMy biggest priority is moving the US to guaranteed universal healthcare, a non-profit system that takes money out of the equation for patients and removes deductibles and co-pays. We are the largest industrialized nation without universal healthcare. Universal healthcare is not a fringe position, nor is it unworkable in our economy. I will look to join a coalition of fellow legislators to determine the best approach for funding. My second priority is to end Citizens United. Money in politics is destroying our democracy. Billionaires, corporate donors and PACS have too much influence in our electoral process and our policymaking. Politicians are workin for their donors rather than their constituents. I back up what I believe in my campaign — we are not accepting corporate cash or PAC money. Over 95% of my fundraising is from small donors of $200 or less. We can pass a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United.

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 positionOur Constitution is clear that there are three co-equal branches of government. Each of them must work with the others while maintaining their own independence and integrity to make our democracy function. The work of federal agencies is overseen by Congress. The President has the right and the authority to select leaders for those agencies, be they Cabinet Secretaries or Agency Directors, but those leaders are subject to Congressional confirmation. The administration’s priorities can be implemented by the Secretaries or Directors, and that is appropriate. But everything they do is subject to the oversight of the Congress to ensure processes are fair and unbiased, funding is appropriately spent, and the laws and policies that regulate the work of government agencies and federal workers is being done within the law.

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 positionFirst, let’s admit what we know: voting by noncitizens is extremely rare, and only a handful of cases out of millions of votes have ever been identified. The courts will continue to be the backstop in the vast majority of cases, such as seniors who don’t have access to birth certificates, women who changed their names when they married, or tribal IDs that may be considered ineligible as documentation. As a member of Congress, I would introduce a bill to overturn the provisions of the SAVE Act and enjoin any significant legal challenge that follows. Fortunately, it seems that the difficulties in setting up procedures for states to handle name discrepancies are becoming clearer, and it may disappear as a workable proposal.

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 positionThe Southern Poverty Law Center lays out 5 principles for the Department of Education that are a guidepost. These include: Fund research and new approaches to improving education, Ensure equal access to education and civil rights protections Improve education outcomes for students with disabilities, Improve education for all students by closing the gap induction outcomes for students from families with low incomes; and 5) Fund and support higher education access. We must provide federal support for access to high-quality child care & the federal Head Start program should be more seamlessly aligned with state preschool programs. For K-12, the federal role is primarily centered on funding equity, setting national guidelines, and supporting educational research. Title I grants that support supplemental education services to low-income K-12 students and IDEA grants that support “free and appropriate public education” to students with disabilities are vital.
