“I’m proud to share that our campaign has been endorsed by JAX NOW,” Pavelle said. “This endorsement means a lot to me. Reproductive freedom, equal rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and safety for women and families affect everyone.” Pavelle said she is running because she is tired of watching politicians and lawmakers attack people’s rights, ignore working families, and make life harder for regular Floridians to live fulfilling lives.
AI hyperscale data centers consume massive amounts of water and energy while creating few local jobs. I support a moratorium on new AI data center approvals until Florida enacts enforceable water-usage limits, energy-grid-impact reviews, and community-benefit requirements. This is not a permanent ban — it is a demand that Florida set rules first before approving projects that can strain water supplies and raise utility costs for families.
Pause AI hyperscale data centers until Florida has real water, energy, and community-impact standards
Protecting equal rights under the law, regardless of race, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity

Suzanna believes families in Flagler County and part of St. Johns County should be able to afford to stay in the communities they helped build. She is focused on the costs that hit closest to home: homeowners insurance, utility bills, and the ways bad growth decisions drive up household costs.
Suzanna is committed to: Fighting for affordable housing and lower insurance rates Investing in public schools and supporting teachers Expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare Protecting Florida’s environment and natural resources Standing up for working families against special interests Bringing transparency and accountability to Tallahassee
Public schools are the backbone of our communities. Suzanna will fight to make sure neighborhood public schools get the support they need to serve every student well.
If a school receives taxpayer dollars, families deserve transparency, verified enrollment, and meaningful public accountability.
Real school safety includes counselors, mental health support, nurses, and stable learning environments where students can focus on learning.
Support public schools and pay teachers well Make sure every student has access to a strong education Protect taxpayer dollars and keep the focus on student success
Repealing Florida’s restrictions on LGBTQ+ classroom discussion and protecting LGBTQ+ students and families from discrimination
Teaching accurate American history, including Black history, without political censorship
Suzanna believes strong neighborhood public schools are essential to a strong future for District 19. She supports competitive teacher pay, stable classrooms, and real accountability for every taxpayer dollar spent on education.
Fund neighborhood public schools Support competitive teacher pay and strong learning environments Require accountability for every school receiving taxpayer dollars
Support competitive teacher pay and strong classrooms Florida should be attracting and keeping great educators. That means better pay, reasonable class sizes, and the resources teachers and students need to succeed.
Give parents, educators, and local communities a stronger voice Education decisions should be driven by what helps students learn, not by political theater or one-size-fits-all state mandates.
Why this issue matters Florida is near the bottom nationally on teacher pay, and that hurts students as well as educators. When schools struggle to recruit and retain strong teachers, families feel the consequences and communities lose one of their most important foundations. Families in District 19 also need to know that public education dollars are being used responsibly. When state policy weakens neighborhood schools while demanding more from them, local communities feel the pressure first.
Ending racial gerrymandering and protecting fair voting districts so voters choose their representatives
Families deserve a government that pays attention to monthly bills. Suzanna supports practical steps that improve reliability, reduce waste, and help families keep more of what they earn.
Make lowering homeowners insurance costs a top priority Support practical flood-protection and resilience measures Require growth to pay its fair share instead of burdening current residents Focus on utility and household costs that families feel every month
AI hyperscale data centers consume massive amounts of water and energy while creating few local jobs. I support a moratorium on new AI data center approvals until Florida enacts enforceable water-usage limits, energy-grid-impact reviews, and community-benefit requirements.

Suzanna is passionate about protecting Florida’s environment, water, waterways. She’s frustrated with the waste of taxpayer money on partisan political stunts, and believes our resources should be used to help Floridians – not fund culture wars. Culture wars are expensive and divisive. It’s time to focus on Floridians, not political stunts.
“I am thrilled to announce my endorsement from the Democratic Environmental Caucus of Florida,” Pavelle said. “I am a candidate who, when elected, commits to promoting policies that meet the challenges of the environmental and climate crisis we are facing in the state of Florida. Thank you for your endorsement.”
Reducing flood risk is not just an environmental issue. It is an affordability issue. Suzanna supports practical flood-mitigation and storm-hardening work that protects homes, neighborhoods, and property values before families pay for repeated damage.
Make sure roads, infrastructure, and public services keep pace with development Protect neighborhoods, waterways, and quality of life Support planning that existing residents and the character of our communities.
Protect beaches, waterways, and wetlands Support flood prevention and resilience planning Hold polluters accountable and protect natural resources Preserve our parks as natural spaces, not development sites for pickleball courts and other overbuilt projects
Suzanna supports smart growth that protects clean water, respects infrastructure limits, and preserves the natural heritage of Flagler County and St. Johns County. She is not against growth. She is against growth that leaves local families with more flooding, more traffic, more utility strain, and bigger bills.
Suzanna means growth that fits available roads, drainage, water, sewer, schools, and evacuation capacity before major projects move forward.
Major development should not move forward unless water, wastewater, stormwater, road, and evacuation capacity are in place and ready to handle it.
Wetlands, floodplains, waterways, dunes, and conservation lands are not decorative. They help protect clean water, reduce flood risk, and lower long-term public costs.
Suzanna will push for state funding and oversight that helps local communities deliver the water, drainage, shoreline, and resilience projects they already know they need.
Put infrastructure first before major development approvals Make growth pay its own way Protect wetlands, waterways, and natural flood buffers Defend local planning authority and community voice Support ready wastewater, drainage, and resilience projects
Make lowering homeowners insurance costs a top priority Support practical flood-protection and resilience measures Require growth to pay its fair share instead of burdening current residents Focus on utility and household costs that families feel every month

This is not a permanent ban — it is a demand that Florida set rules first before approving projects that can strain water supplies and raise utility costs for families.
In St. Augustine, the Lake Maria Sanchez stormwater project shows what “fix it later” can look like. When flooding problems build for years, communities end up paying for major retrofit projects that are expensive, disruptive, and long overdue. It is far smarter to protect natural flood buffers and require real infrastructure planning upfront.
Protecting Florida’s water, natural resources and coastline
Northeast Florida is growing, and that growth must be managed responsibly. Suzanna Pavelle believes growth should protect clean water, respect infrastructure limits, and preserve the wetlands, waterways, farmland, and working lands that help make this region home.
Pause AI hyperscale data centers until Florida has real water, energy, and community-impact standards
Protecting equal rights under the law, regardless of race, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity
Florida is getting harder for regular people to afford, and the people in power aren’t delivering. Suzanna is running because District 19 deserves someone who will fight for sustainable development, real accountability, and a Florida that works for working families.
Suzanna is committed to: Fighting for affordable housing and lower insurance rates Investing in public schools and supporting teachers Expanding access to quality, affordable healthcare Protecting Florida’s environment and natural resources Standing up for working families against special interests Bringing transparency and accountability to Tallahassee
Real school safety includes counselors, mental health support, nurses, and stable learning environments where students can focus on learning.
Affordable healthcare and mental health care
Suzanna Pavelle has signed the Patients over Profits pledge, committing to put patients before profits and to reject contributions over $200 from corporate healthcare industry PACs.

Suzanna will make lowering homeowners insurance costs a top state priority because people should not be priced out of their homes by an insurance system that feels more unstable every year.
Reducing flood risk is not just an environmental issue. It is an affordability issue. Suzanna supports practical flood-mitigation and storm-hardening work that protects homes, neighborhoods, and property values before families pay for repeated damage.
Lower housing and homeowners insurance costs Push back on rising everyday expenses Help keep working families and seniors from being priced out
Suzanna believes families in Flagler County and part of St. Johns County should be able to afford to stay in the communities they helped build. She is focused on the costs that hit closest to home: homeowners insurance, utility bills, and the ways bad growth decisions drive up household costs.
Developers should not be allowed to pass the real costs of growth onto existing residents. Growth should help pay for the infrastructure it demands.
People who live in a community should have a stronger voice than state lawmakers or special interests when growth decisions shape their daily lives.
Put infrastructure first before major development approvals Make growth pay its own way Protect wetlands, waterways, and natural flood buffers Defend local planning authority and community voice Support ready wastewater, drainage, and resilience projects
Smart growth means conditions first, approvals second. If the infrastructure is not ready, the project is not ready.
Homeowners insurance has become one of the clearest examples of a system that is not working for regular people. Families are paying more, worrying more, and getting less certainty in return.
Homeowners insurance should not be pushing families out of their homes. Suzanna will make lowering insurance costs a top priority and push for practical solutions that reduce risk before families pay the price.
Make lowering homeowners insurance costs a top priority Support practical flood-protection and resilience measures Require growth to pay its fair share instead of burdening current residents Focus on utility and household costs that families feel every month
In west Flagler, the debate around the approved Reserve at Haw Creek project shows why smart growth cannot just be a slogan. A project of that scale raises real questions about roads, drainage, flood risk, water and wastewater capacity, emergency services, and whether current residents will be left paying for growth that was supposed to pay for itself.
Florida is getting harder for regular people to afford, and the people in power aren’t delivering. Suzanna is running because District 19 deserves someone who will fight for sustainable development, real accountability, and a Florida that works for working families.
Protecting people and civil rights from abusive immigration enforcement
Florida is spending huge sums on immigration detention and no-bid contracts with too little oversight. That money should be invested in Florida communities, not political theater.
End reckless detention spending Require transparency and oversight Invest in schools, healthcare, housing, and infrastructure Protect workers, families, and due process
Taxpayers are funding a system with serious due process concerns.
When growth is poorly planned, current residents get stuck with the bill through higher taxes, utility strain, and infrastructure costs. Suzanna will fight to make sure new growth pays for the roads, drainage, water, and wastewater capacity it demands.
Families deserve leadership that pays attention to the bills people actually live with. Suzanna supports practical steps that improve reliability, reduce waste, and keep more money in household budgets.
Make sure roads, infrastructure, and public services keep pace with development Protect neighborhoods, waterways, and quality of life Support planning that existing residents and the character of our communities.

Some veterans turn to services that offer to “help” them obtain benefits, then take a portion as payment. That is wrong, and Florida can do more. As your state representative, I will fight to: * Fund free, accredited assistance through the Florida Department of Veterans’ Affairs so veterans have trustworthy help. * Expand veteran mental health, suicide prevention, substance-use treatment and peer-support programs. * Protect veterans’ education and property-tax benefits, and support veteran-owned small businesses.
