Get StartedWith the Supreme Court returning the regulation of abortion to the individual states, it is even more critical that we elect legislators who will oppose heavy-handed laws that hurt women, take over family planning and undermine the right of personal autonomy. Learn more
The Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade is a terrible blow to women's rights. This ruling is a direct assault on women and their families. It attacks a woman’s right to reproductive freedom. These highly personal and very important decisions should be made on the individual level and without interference from the government. As a state legislator, I will fight to protect every Floridian's right to privacy and individual freedom. Learn more
I also support reforming our cannabis, hemp, and medical marijuana laws to meet a 21st century standard. Simply put, I support the legalization of marijuana in Florida for adults of legal age, and I support reforming our current approach to medical marijuana to empower small growers and local businesses to have the opportunity to take advantage of the financial windfalls of the expanding industries for cannabis and hemp.

I support innovative technologies like cryptocurrency as an advancement towards more personal freedom and a better Florida for everyone. Learn more
We also must increase access to higher education and vocational training. I support the creation of opportunity for every Floridian by making higher education and vocational training affordable. I will support legislation to lower the cost of education and open up higher education and vocational pathways for job retraining. Learn more
I oppose censorship in our classrooms. I oppose limits on the power of local school boards to make decisions that best suit their communities. If elected to serve you, I will reject any legislation to ban books. Our educators, parents and caregivers should be responsible for what is taught in the classroom, not state bureaucrats in Tallahassee with cynical political agendas. Learn more
One of my highest priorities will be working with representatives on both sides of the aisle to expand Medicaid for the hundreds of thousands of Florida families who cannot afford healthcare. These reforms would provide Floridians greater control over their lives and allow them to live with greater dignity. Learn more
I’m committed to increasing access to quality healthcare in the rural parts of our district. Learn more
As your Representative, I will immediately work with leaders in both major parties to make significant investments that improve the infrastructure in our district. The strong folks living in our North Central Florida communities have overcome unexpected business closures, crippling restrictions on commercial fishing, powerful hurricanes and catastrophic oil spills. Learn more
As your state Representative, I will be a strong spokesman for the University of Florida and Santa Fe College during the annual budgeting process. I will advocate for new budget priorities that reinforce our district's leadership in engineering and the physical sciences. Learn more
I believe government should be a productive partner to the private sector so we can remedy the lack of good jobs in our communities. We need to make targeted investments and create a fairer tax code to fuel Florida job growth. Learn more
I’m a strong supporter of organized labor. I recognize the contributions that our labor unions make towards a secure economic future for Florida families. I will demand that all state contracts use local union labor and pay prevailing wages. But unions alone cannot create economic security. Learn more
