These positions align with policy priorities favoring tax relief and restraint in government spending.

Immigration & Border

Prioritizes enforcement measures while noting legal immigrants who follow processes should not be disadvantaged by illegal activity at the border.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports restricting abortion access and opposes federal-level abortion policy, allowing elective abortion only when the life of the mother is at risk and backing limits on taxpayer funding for abortion providers. She indicated she would vote No on Florida’s 2024 abortion-rights amendment.
Climate & Energy
The candidate strongly rejects the statement that man-made climate change is a global threat and expresses skepticism about mainstream climate science. Her questionnaire response identifies nuclear power as the most efficient energy source and names solar as the safest and a preferred local option for Florida.
