Get StartedThe world our children are inheriting is changing at a pace none of us has lived through before. Artificial intelligence, shifting industries, a global economy in flux — the only way we prepare students for what's coming is to take public education seriously again. That means strong neighborhood schools, well-paid teachers, modern curricula, and a serious conversation about what kids actually need to learn to thrive in the world they're walking into. It means treating public education as the foundation of Florida's future, not as a political football. I want every child in District 22 — whether they go on to Embry-Riddle, USF, a trade, or directly into work — to leave our schools with a real foundation. Learn more
Florida is a place worth defending. Our beaches, our parks, our rivers and bays — they're not just amenities. They're the basis of our economy, our quality of life, and the inheritance we leave the next generation. Storm management, water quality, water availability, and the preservation of natural habitats are not optional priorities. They are the priorities. And they require a state government willing to accept the science, plan for the long term, and stand up to the development pressures that, left unchecked, will ruin what makes this state worth living in. Clean water and clean air aren't partisan issues. They're survival issues. I'll treat them that way. Learn more
Florida has one of the largest populations of seniors in the country, and the state's policies on long-term care, memory care, and family caregiver support are not what they should be. As your senator, I will make elder care a priority — because it should be one, and because we owe it to the generation that built the lives we now live. Learn more
Local people deserve local control. As your state senator, I will fight every preemption of home rule that puts developer profits ahead of community character, environmental protection, and the will of local voters. Learn more
At both the state and local level, government has grown accustomed to spending without serious oversight. Budgets balloon, line items become permanent, and "essential" programs accumulate that no one can fully explain. The result is upward pressure on every kind of tax — property, sales, fees — that working families and retirees feel most. I'll bring 40 years of business experience to the State Senate. I know how to read a budget. I know how to ask uncomfortable questions about whether a dollar is being spent well or just spent. And I believe taxpayers deserve a senator who treats public money like their own — because it is. Learn more
