Why do we hide them?
We hide parties at first so you can compare every candidate with an open mind, and maybe find common ground where you least expected it. Reveal them any time with one tap.
Thinking for yourself means looking past the labels to the ideas and values underneath.
Position on major issues
Abortion and reproductive policy
Our conservative values are under attack. I will not waiver on issues that honor God, cherish life and allow religious liberties to flourish. It is time for us all to stand boldly for the moral fabric of our nation.

Education
Not all students will attend a 4-year college. We must expand our VoTech learning and increase workforce certifications. Also, we need to increase teacher pay and help provide a good environment for both the teacher and student to excel in.

Infrastructure and transportation
St. Johns County is the fastest growing county in Florida. We must have the infrastructure needed to support this growth in a responsible way. This includes enough schools, roads, and support services. I have and will continue to stand boldly against anything less.
