No bio available for this candidate

Position on major issues

Abortion and reproductive policy

I believe life is a precious gift from God, and that we must protect all life from its inception to natural conclusion. When life is in danger we must act in such a way to save all involved, both mother and child, and to fulfill the Hippocratic oath to “do no harm”. I believe that our families are the building block of society and we must protect the rights of parents to raise their children according to their conscience.

Criminal justice and policing

We must support the first responders who stand on the front lines for us to keep all of our families safe. While we look inward to address the issues that have divided communities, we must not abandon the need for safety, law, and order.

Economy, jobs and wages

BUILDING FLORIDA’S ECONOMY with better job opportunities

dougbankson.com ·

Our economic development must attract the best and brightest and must opt for such regulation that protects the consumer without penalizing the merchant.

dougbankson.com ·

I see opportunity in our businesses, ready to come roaring back after the challenges of Covid, based upon the dreams and determination of every entrepreneur as we keep government out of the way.

Education

SUPPORTING OUR SCHOOLS and giving parents a voice in education

dougbankson.com ·

I see opportunity in our schools to support our teachers and bring the best education to our children. To respect the rights of parents to have a voice in education, and to have the choice to send their children to whatever school best gives them the opportunity to reach their potential. To support both secondary education and vocational training, each for whom it is best suited.

dougbankson.com ·

We must secure the opportunities of education for all our children equally regardless of their background, and we must ensure that parents always have a voice in education.

Environment and climate

PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT and fighting for our springs

dougbankson.com ·

We can all work together to guard the precious gifts from our Wekiva State Springs and Park to our waterways to our beloved Lake Apopka.

dougbankson.com ·

I see our lake Apopka through stewardship being restored to her once pristine beauty and vivid wildlife. I see our Wekiva springs and forest, a hidden treasure worth protecting.

Housing

ENSURING ATTAINABLE HOUSING and lowering insurance costs

dougbankson.com ·

Out of control inflation is making it hard for Florida families to make ends meet. I have a plan to address the rising costs of living and keep more money in your pockets: lower taxes, maintain a balanced budget, and find solutions for the housing crisis.

Taxes and government spending

COMBATING INFLATION with lower taxes & a balanced budget

dougbankson.com ·

I see the opportunity to affect laws that keep us from runaway spending and limit the taxation on the works of people’s hands to that which is purposeful and beneficial for all.
