On the issues
1. PROTECTING HOMEOWNERS & FIXING FLORIDA’S INSURANCE CRISIS
✔ Hold insurance companies accountable for fair claim payments
Stop carriers from delaying, underpaying, or hiding behind loopholes. Homeowners should receive the coverage they paid for , without battles or excuses.
✔ End unfair policy caps like the $10,000 water-damage limit
These caps protect insurance companies, not families. I will push to eliminate or reform them so repairs match today’s real construction costs.
✔ Crack down on fraud, scams, and predatory litigation
Fraud hurts honest homeowners and drives rates up. I support stronger anti-fraud enforcement and faster, fairer claim-resolution standards.
✔ Require clear, transparent policy language
No more fine print that surprises families after a disaster. Policies must be written in plain English and disclose all major limits upfront.
2. Protect our communities from over-development
✔ Require Growth to Match Infrastructure
New developments must be responsible. I will demand that builders pay their fair share for the roads, drainage systems, schools, and public safety resources that our neighborhoods need, instead of pushing those costs onto taxpayers.
✔ Reduce Traffic & Flooding Caused by Poor Planning
Over-development without proper planning creates gridlock and worsens flooding, especially in coastal areas. I will fight for smarter zoning, stronger building standards, and development caps where infrastructure is already over capacity.
✔ Preserve Neighborhood Quality & Protect Property Values
Local communities deserve a voice. I will work to maintain neighborhood character, prevent overcrowding, and stop projects that damage home values, increase noise, overwhelm parking, or burden existing families.
3. MINIMIZING THE MONOPOLY OF CITIZENS / RESTORING BALANCE TO FLORIDA’S INSURANCE MARKET
✔ Bring Back Competition to Lower Premiums
When strong private insurers return to Florida, competition increases and premiums come down. Homeowners deserve real choices — not a one-option system
✔ Reduce Citizens’ Overgrowth and Restore Its Original Role
Citizens must return to being the insurer of last resort, not the default insurer for hundreds of thousands of families.
✔ Stabilize the Market With Smart, Long-Term Reforms
Better building standards, stronger anti-fraud enforcement, and improved reinsurance support help create a healthier market that keeps rates affordable.
✔ Protect Homeowners and Taxpayers From Hidden Financial Risk
Limit Citizens’ ability to impose costly post-storm assessments, which raise total insurance costs for nearly every Florida policyholder.
4. COMMON SENSE PROVISIONS TO HELP COMBAT THE OPIOID EPIDEMIC
✔ Expand Access to Treatment Instead of Just Punishment
Support more local treatment centers, detox programs, and recovery services so people struggling with addiction can get help quickly — not sit on waiting lists.
✔ Increase Penalties for Dealers Bringing Fentanyl Into Our Communities
Target the real criminals. Strengthen law enforcement tools and penalties against traffickers distributing fentanyl and other deadly synthetic opioids.
✔ Strengthen Prevention Through Education and Community Support
Launch school and neighborhood programs that educate families, teens, and seniors on the dangers of opioids, counterfeit pills, and fentanyl-laced drugs.
5. Building a Stronger, Safer, More Resilient District Through Modern Infrastructure & Flood Protection
✔ Support Small Businesses & Job Growth
Cut unnecessary regulations, streamline licensing, and expand access to state grants so local entrepreneurs can grow, hire, and strengthen our economy.
✔ Improve Public Safety Through Community Policing
Work with law enforcement to reduce neighborhood crime, support anti-drug initiatives, and increase visibility and engagement between officers and residents.
✔ Expand Senior Services & Hurricane Preparedness Programs
Enhance programs that protect seniors during emergencies, improve shelter accessibility, and strengthen outreach for evacuation planning and post-storm recovery.
6. Addressing Homelessness With Accountability, Support, and Public Safety
✔ Expand Access to Job Training & Recovery Programs
Partner with nonprofits and local agencies to help individuals experiencing homelessness access job training, addiction treatment, and mental-health services so they can rebuild their lives.
✔ Support Transitional Housing — Not Permanent Street Living
Provide temporary, structured housing options that include workforce re-entry support. Reject policies that encourage long-term encampments or unsafe public spaces.
✔ Maintain Clean, Safe Public Areas for Families & Businesses
Ensure parks, sidewalks, beaches, and business districts remain safe and accessible by increasing outreach teams and enforcing public safety laws fairly and consistently.
✔ Coordinate With Law Enforcement & Social Services for Better Outcomes
Strengthen collaboration between police, outreach workers, and community programs to ensure help reaches those who want it — and that criminal activity on the streets is addressed.
