Brevard Born.
Brevard Raised.
Fighting for us.

The wealthiest nation in the history of the world has no excuse for failing to ensure every Floridian can live a healthy, dignified life. Equal protection by the law and from the law is not optional. It is the baseline.

Your right to love who you love, to make your own medical decisions, to protect your bodily autonomy, and to defend yourself and your family are nonnegotiable. No exceptions.

Fear is not governance. When the state uses fear as a tool for control, there is a word for that, and the word is coercion. I will not govern that way, and I will fight anyone who does.

For 28 years, one party has controlled Tallahassee, and they have used that power to silence your local leaders on everything from lagoon protection to housing to worker safety.

Your city and county officials cannot pass common-sense ordinances without the threat of state punishment or corporate lawsuits. The decisions that shape your daily life are being made by people who have never set foot in your neighborhood.

The people closest to a problem should be the ones who solve it. I am running to bring government back home, where it belongs, and to make sure your local leaders answer to you instead of a coercive Tallahassee.

There is no single fix for healthcare access in North Brevard. Our local hospitals are closing due to aging infrastructure and engineering concerns. Those concerns are legitimate, but the consequences are a direct result of decades of failed planning, and the people living here are paying for it.

Access to care in our area is among the worst in the nation. Ambulance transit times are up. Healthcare outcomes are down. The new hospital being built on Merritt Island will help, but it will not solve the problem on its own. The issue is capacity: we need more beds, more doctors, and more ambulances.

I will work with public regulators, private healthcare partners, and local advisory boards to expand healthcare access in our district as fast as possible. I want my children to be born here. I will build a district where that is a safe choice to make.

There is no version of representing this district that does not include protecting and restoring the Indian River Lagoon. Full stop.

The Save Our Indian River Lagoon program is one of the best-run environmental restoration organizations in the state. Their financial transparency is second to none, their data-driven approach keeps them on mission, and their results speak for themselves. The way SOIRL operates should be a model for how every government program runs.

I support continuing and expanding these efforts, and I encourage every voter in the district to vote yes on the half-cent sales tax that funds this critical work. The lagoon is not a political issue. It is the thing that makes this place worth living in.

Our schools are struggling by nearly every measure, and the policy decisions that got us here were not driven by data. They were driven by ideology.

At the state level, the voucher funding hole is bleeding public schools dry, and we need to plug it. Every dollar diverted from public education without accountability is a dollar taken from the classrooms that serve the vast majority of Florida's children.

At the local level, I strongly support the work of the Brevard Schools Foundation and programs like Taking Stock in Children, which pair students with mentors and real support grounded in their own communities. Every child deserves guidance and opportunity, especially the ones the system is most likely to overlook.

We also need a dramatically expanded use of juvenile civil citations in place of arrests. The data is clear: keeping young people out of the correctional system lowers repeat offenses, improves long-term outcomes, and saves taxpayer money. Arresting a teenager for a nonviolent offense does not make the community safer. It makes the problem worse.

Lowering the cost of living is the single most important thing I can do for the people in this district. I will fight for, sponsor, and vote for any policy that puts money back in your pocket.

The biggest lever available in Tallahassee right now is insurance reform. The policy vehicles already exist. Homeowners insurance premiums in Florida could fall as much as 60 percent with the right reforms, and that reduction feeds directly into cheaper mortgages, lower rent, and more affordable condo fees. We can restore price stability for millions of Floridians who own homes, drive cars, and are watching their costs climb every year.

When the private market fails to provide affordable coverage, the government has a responsibility to step in. That is not ideology. That is the job.

This one is personal. I believe that data paid for by the taxpayer should be available to the taxpayer. Period.

Florida has been funding environmental and pollution data collection for decades, but that data sits in agency silos where it makes little impact because it is not communicated well or understood easily. We need a free, centralized, open-source dashboard that takes our existing environmental data and makes it visible, searchable, and understandable to every resident in the state. Who is polluting, where, how much, and what is being done about it.

No single university or nonprofit can take on a project at this scale. It has to come from the state. It is time to stop collecting data nobody sees and start building tools that let the public hold polluters accountable. We owe the next generation a state they can actually live in.
