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.
Secure, Stable, & Accountable Immigration
I support an immigration system that restores order at our borders while treating people with dignity and fairness. That means processing asylum claims outside the US, deporting or prosecuting violent criminals, and requiring a rigorous, lawful path to citizenship for those already here. I also believe we must pause funding for ICE until full investigations ensure accountability and transparency.
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 and VPK, stabilize housing and insurance markets, and keep great teachers in classrooms—so families can build stable lives and children can thrive.
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.
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.
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.
