The Prosperity Agenda

Floridians are being squeezed by rising costs, and far too many families are falling behind. Nearly 1 in 5 children in Florida, over 800,000, don’t know where their next meal is coming from. That is unacceptable. My economic plan focuses on immediate affordability, long-term growth, and restoring dignity for every family in Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee Counties.

Lower Costs & Put Families First

Floridians are paying too much for basics like food, healthcare, housing, and childcare. We need to lower everyday costs by ending tariff-driven price hikes, cracking down on corporate price gouging, capping credit card interest, reducing prescription drug prices, and delivering direct monthly tax relief to working families and parents.

Affordable, Accessible Healthcare for Every Florida Family

Florida families deserve quality healthcare that doesn't force them into debt or jeopardize their financial stability.

 

Right now, the system is a confusing, expensive patchwork of employer-based plans and profit-driven insurance that is failing our youth, small businesses, and families. This is not just a health crisis. It's an economic emergency.

We believe healthcare access should be a right, not a luxury determined by your job or your bank account.

 

My focus is on creating a fiscally-sustainable system that finally puts the patient first and covers every American.

Make Sure Every Child Is Fed, Housed, & Able to Succeed

No child should be hungry or left behind. We must guarantee universal school meals, expand summer food access, strengthen child tax credits, invest in affordable childcare, stabilize housing and insurance markets, and keep great teachers in classrooms—so families can build stable lives and children can thrive.

Investing in Teachers for a Better Future for Our Children

Our children succeed when great teachers stay. High turnover disrupts learning and wastes taxpayer dollars on constant recruitment and retraining. I support a common-sense federal grant program that funds a $10,000 annual retention bonus for public school teachers who commit to and complete a full year at the same school—strengthening classroom stability, respecting educators as professionals, and investing wisely in our community’s future.

Build a Fair Economy That Rewards Work, Not Wealth Hoarding

Raise wages, support small businesses, and create good SWFL jobs while restoring fairness to the tax code. That means paid family and medical leave, targeted support for true small businesses, clean-energy job growth, and making billionaires and polluters finally pay their fair share—so the economy works for Sarasota, Charlotte, and Lee Counties, not just the ultra-wealthy.

SAFE, SECURE, & ACCOUNTABLE IMMIGRATION

I support an immigration system that protects our communities, strengthens our economy, and restores order at our borders. That starts with accountability, transparency, and real management, not more bureaucracy or blank checks.

Get Shit Done

My Plan to Restore Faith in Government
 

More than 7 million Florida voters stayed home in the 2024 election. About half a million Floridians are eligible to vote but have yet to register. Seventy percent (70%) of Americans believe "politicians don't care what people like me think."

I'm running to fight for a government that works for everyone—transparent, accountable, and responsive. Where every American has a voice, every vote counts, and our communities thrive by Getting Shit Done in Congress.

1 / Governance
  • Better policies: The Prosperity Agenda.

  • Bring collaboration, bipartisanship, and pragmatic policymaking back to Congress.

  • Open and honest representation. A promise to engage the media and to constituents, hold town halls at every public library

2 / Voters
  • Automatic registration with an option to opt out. Federal government to set standards and provide funding. New systems to be run by each state.

  • Pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act (VRA) to protect voters and make voting easier for American citizens. The VRA addresses discrimination, upholds transparency from municipalities and states in election regulation changes, and makes voting more accessible for language minorities. 

  • Promote and support community-based learning for high school students through programs like Embracing Our Differences, Mock Trial, Debate, Key Club, Teen Court, and SEE Alliance.

3 / Institutions
  • Establish 12 At-Large Senators to be elected through a national popular vote, boosting democratic engagement by making votes more equally impactful, encouraging candidates to address nationwide issues, and increasing trust that the Senate reflects the popular will.

  • ​Add approximately 230 additional Members to the House. Increase representation, with about 500,000 people per Congressperson.

  • Rebalance the power of the Supreme Court by creating a 13-judge multi-circuit (national) panel to hear cases where the US or a federal agency is a party.
