An Independent approach to Florida.
American democracy has been holding firm against the extremism and obstruction in the halls of Congress, and it will weather the storm if motivated people step forward and demand change. Democracy is a powerful tool when used properly, and I am confident that our best days are yet to come. It’s time to bring the sunshine back to Florida – we can do better for all Floridians if we get our elected leaders’ heads out of the sand.

This is job one for me. Nothing good happens for Florida families or America without good jobs and a fair day’s pay. Learn about my ideas on the following solutions:
• Preserve the middle class. View
• Reinvigorate Florida’s film industry. View
• Advance space exploration. View
• Support Florida’s rural communities. View -
American healthcare costs are out of control. You know changes are needed when you have a vastly different cost structures between rural and urban communities and domestic versus international markets, as with prescription drugs. To help broaden funding for healthcare systems and thus lower costs to consumers, I am proposing the following:
• Medical innovation zone for area hospitals. View

• Ensure the American dream View
• Lower the cost of home insurance in Florida View -
I will strongly oppose any proposed cuts in Social Security and Medicare benefits. You earned the right to these benefits and to retire with dignity and security from a life of hard work. I will fight for Medicaid to be enhanced to help low-income seniors afford assisted living and full-time care when needed. I will not support any efforts to privatize Social Security or turn Medicare into a voucher system. Find out more

It is imperative we ensure that women have the right to make their own reproductive health care decisions without interference from the government, whether it be federal or state. I will fight to restore and preserve Roe v. Wade so those protections are enshrined in federal statute. And while we are at it, women should receive equal pay for equal work.

America is a nation founded and built by immigrants, but our borders are insecure, and the path to citizenship is muddied. Rational reform of our broken immigration system is decades overdue. I have a proposal for how we might reform immigration comprehensively and fairly. View
No heads in the sand here.
