Position on major issues

Abortion and reproductive policy

Those rights enshrined in our Constitution must be defended: free speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to life and private property — these are all under attack by the radical left.

Criminal justice and policing

Unfortunately we are seeing many other states struggling with lawlessness and a culture that is turning away from our police. We cannot let this happen in Florida. We support the Blue.

As an “Angel Mom” who has suffered the burden of experiencing my son’s untimely death due to the irresponsible actions of a twice-deported illegal alien, I know firsthand the consequences of a government that will not do its job. For me, my advocacy is not just based on a desire to serve but on a call to serve.

Governor DeSantis has led on this issue by finding more funding for our police, deputies, and other public safety personnel. We also passed legislation that stiffened the penalties for rioting and looting as a means of discouraging the mob violence that the radical groups like Antifa have used to try to send political messages. I also had the honor of working with our sheriffs to file legislation to stop organized street racing and the violence that goes right along with that activity. I will always defend and promote legislation that supports our first responders and maintains the safety of neighborhoods that we expect for the most vulnerable in our society.

Just four years ago, we were at the apex of the “Defund the Police” movement. This is a terrible policy idea but one that is fully embraced by the liberal radicals in Washington and other liberal cities and states.

Education

Our children are under attack by those who want to indoctrinate rather than educate. We cannot rely on the "system" to raise our children. We must revitalize the family structure and empower parents, with a priority on parental rights.

In Florida, we have taken a stand for parents and passed legislation to get the inappropriate books out of libraries, stop woke indoctrination, and protect girls’ sports from being completely destroyed by biological males.

I will continue to fight to make our classrooms world-class harbors for learning not a pulpit for Marxism.

Housing

One of the top issues facing Florida’s families this year has been the rising cost of property insurance. It affects everyone from homeowners to renters and almost every consumer as small businesses have to raise the prices of their goods and services to pay for this expense. There have been three main factors driving up the cost of insurance, and believe it or not, it is not storms. The factors are fraud, litigation, and inflation. At the state level, we have done what we can to put some reasonable legislation in place to stop fraud and frivolous lawsuits. Unfortunately, Joe Biden’s inflation and federal price fixing have had a nationwide impact on the replacement costs for homes and apartments. We must be patient and continue to look for ways to bring the cost of property insurance with the levers we have at the state level, and then we need to send Joe Biden and Kamala Harris into permanent retirement in November. That will help ease inflation and should bring rates back down in Florida and even across the country.

Immigration

Sanctuary Cities? Open Borders? Enough is enough. We must be tough on illegal immigration and recognize that a strong border makes a strong nation.

advocate for more robust measures to protect our state from illegal aliens and similar threats to public safety, protect the taxpayers from the insider dealing of special interests, and protect our freedom from the over-reach of government.

Biden and Harris, along with the radical left, are pursuing an Open Borders policy, flooding criminal aliens into this country who are wreaking havoc on the the safety of our communities. There have been violent murders, rapes, child abuse, drug proliferation all due to this ridiculously bad policy for our country.

In my son’s honor and on behalf of the other Angel Families in this country, I have been fighting to do what we can in Florida to stop illegal immigration. I sponsored the E-Verify legislation of 2023 that is helping to stop illegal aliens from being employed in Florida’s businesses, and I have been working to help stop government benefits for illegals so that we can turn off the financial magnets that draw them into this country in the first place. I also applaud Gov. Ron DeSantis for sending members of the Florida Guard to the Texas border. If Washington won’t act, great leaders in the states must do so, and that is what we are doing here in Florida.

Social Security and retirement

Florida is a sanctuary for retirees and veterans. Their care, protection, and liberties are some of our highest priorities. I will do everything I can to support those who have defended us.

My husband served in the Navy for 20 years, and I believe that we must continue making Florida the most hospitable state in the country for our veterans and their families. The wealthiest Country in the world has money for illegal immigrants, for paying people to stay at home, and for massively expanding government, and yet we still have veterans living on the streets, and the suicide rate for Veterans is inexcusable. I have worked hard to fight for more funding for Florida’s state veterans nursing homes and for the tax breaks and scholarships that they and their families deserve.
