Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate supports state interventions and investments—such as a state-backed catastrophic insurance backstop, expanded funding for public education, and programs to protect renters and homeowners—but does not advocate creating a state income tax and pushed back against proposals to abolish property taxes without specifying alternative revenue sources. Public statements emphasize limiting insurance rate hikes and investing in services for working families. No clear, direct proposal to raise or lower specific taxes (e.g., higher taxes on wealthy/corporations or sweeping tax cuts) was found.
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to health care and increasing support for public health programs, with plans to expand health care access for District 87 residents and address affordability. Prioritizes lowering costs and expanding coverage as part of broader proposals to ease burdens on working families.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
The candidate supports codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade into Florida law and opposes near-total abortion bans, characterizing current restrictions as a threat to reproductive care and other family-planning services.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports strengthening red flag laws, improving background checks, and investing in mental health as part of responsible gun-ownership safeguards.
