Get StartedAs the son of a law enforcement agent, Mike knows the challenges our men and women in uniform face each day. Mike will always “Back the Blue” and is grateful for the support of the Sheriffs of both Brevard and Indian River Counties. Learn more
Our veterans deserve the best care as well for their service to our nation. Unfortunately, the system too often lets our veterans down. Mike will fight each day to make sure our veterans get the top-notch care they deserve. Learn more
We must reduce gas prices and the best way to do so is to return to the Trump policies that made America energy independent. Low energy prices are the key to economic growth, and it will in turn reduce out-of-control inflation. I support an “All of the Above” approach to American energy. Learn more
Our quality of life, economy, tourism, property values, and the survival of many indigenous species of plant and wildlife will depend on our efforts. Advancing common sense ideas that protect our Lagoon and preserve our natural beauty is important to Mike. The National Estuary Program (NEP) was created by Congress in 1987 to protect and restore the water quality and ecological integrity of estuaries of national significance. Mike will vote to sustain the NEP program to help maintain our nation’s environmental treasures like the Indian River Lagoon. Plus, Mike will join the bi-partisan Congressional Estuary Caucus created by Bill Posey to help solve the growing problem in our 28 estuaries across the nation. Learn more
Mike believes in term limits. Florida is proof that term limits work. Florida is the epicenter of conservative reforms where citizens serve and then return to the private sector. Mike signed the U.S. Term Limits pledge and will vote for all term limits measures in office. Learn more
Additionally, Mike has always been a staunch defender of our Second Amendment rights, carrying an A rating from the NRA from his service in the Florida Legislature. Mike will protect our right to bear arms in Congress. Learn more
To bring down healthcare costs, we need to empower individuals with tax benefits. Additionally, we must restore the original function of the Commerce Clause by legalizing the purchase of health insurance across state lines. Allowing for state reciprocity would enhance patient freedom, driving competition and lowering costs. Mike will advocate for block grants to states, enabling them to design and implement healthcare solutions that fit the needs of their residents, free from federal overreach. These reforms will cut through bureaucratic red tape, empower patients, and ensure healthcare is affordable and accessible to all Americans. Learn more
Mike led the fight to defeat a measure in the Florida legislature to allow illegals to obtain a driver’s license. We must be a nation of laws and secure the border. Learn more
Mike understands that burdensome federal and state regulations and mandates stifle economic growth and job creation. Mike will stand against federal mandates that hurt small businesses. We must reform the broken tax code in Washington and protect the Trump Tax Cuts from expiring. Learn more
Our national debt is now more than 34 trillion and is growing each day. Social Security and Medicare, programs seniors paid for during their working years are in jeopardy of going bankrupt if we don’t act. Mike will fight the Democrats’ reckless tax and spending agenda to preserve and protect these vital programs for our future generations. As President of the Senate, Mike faced a 4B budget shortfall. He found common-sense solutions to cut government spending and balance the budget. He will do the same in Washington and sponsor a Constitutional Amendment to balance the budget. Learn more
Space exploration generates high-paying jobs here in District 8. Space is key to American technological innovation as well as our national security. Space is the ultimate military high ground. Free nations worldwide are looking to the U.S. To lead the world in space, and if we fail to do so, others – namely China and Russia – will fill that void, and threaten our economic and national security interests.
