Positions
Economy & Taxes
Supports reversing tax cuts and special favors for the wealthy and corporations and prioritizing funding for government programs (military, education, foreign aid) and measures to address rising costs for working families; also supports a federal $12.50 minimum wage.
Healthcare
Supports strengthening Medicare and Social Security and reducing Florida’s rising cost of living. Campaign materials emphasize protecting and bolstering government-run programs but do not explicitly endorse single‑payer/Medicare‑for‑All.

Immigration & Border
The candidate’s campaign lists immigration among priorities with the phrase “Secure our borders & reform legal immigration,” but provides no detailed policy proposals on asylum, deportations, or pathways to citizenship. Public questionnaires and profiles reviewed do not contain clear, substantive positions on enforcement vs. regularization. Available sources therefore show support for both border security and immigration reform in broad terms but lack specifics.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports restoring and protecting women’s reproductive rights and opposes government restrictions on abortion; calls for eliminating government overreach on reproductive decisions. No public materials located that specify gestational limits or detailed policy prescriptions.
Climate & Energy
Supports protecting Florida’s environment by building clean energy and water infrastructure, indicating favor for clean energy investments and infrastructure improvements. Statements emphasize environmental protection through clean energy rather than opposing fossil-fuel policies.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports enacting responsible gun laws and treating gun violence as a public-health problem while emphasizing public safety and school safety measures. Advocates policies to reduce mass shootings and expanded protections rather than an explicit rejection of gun ownership rights.
