Liberty also means that the rule of law applies to everyone equally, regardless of skin color, wealth, or fame. It means that law enforcement at every level, including federal agencies operating in our communities, must be accountable, identifiable, and subject to the same standards we expect of any officer of the law.

Economy, jobs and wages

Clean water is not only a health question in District 10. It is what people here sell, and it is what brings anybody from outside to spend money in these towns.

Education

We all make better decisions, build better communities, and live better lives when every voice is heard and every person is seen. Parents need to know their children are safe, healthy, and being educated by people who care. Neighbors need to know their concerns matter. Communities need spaces, literal and civic, where people can gather, create, and belong. Public education is the foundation of democracy. It is where critical thinking is born, where creativity is nurtured, where we learn to understand people whose lives look different from our own. Arts education, multicultural education, honest history: these are not extras. They are the core.

Environment and climate

I believe in defending nature’s rights not as an abstract idea, but as a practical foundation for human health and survival. When we protect our rivers, springs, and aquifer, we are protecting ourselves and every generation that comes after us.

And life means building and planning in ways that do not poison the ground beneath our feet. Sustainable building design is not a luxury. In Florida, it is a necessity.

Healthcare

Life also means access to healthcare that does not bankrupt families. I support single-payer, Medicare-for-all reform. It saves money, eliminates unnecessary middlemen, and treats healthcare as what it is: a basic condition of a decent life.
