Position on major issues

Economy, jobs and wages

Tax relief on household essentials, stronger consumer protections against hidden fees and price gouging, wage transparency requirements, and keeping affordability, not ideology, at the center of every budget debate.

Small business grants and technical assistance programs, workforce training tied to real local jobs, incentives for job-creating development on underused commercial land, and policies that attract good employers without sacrificing the neighborhoods and green spaces that make South Miami-Dade worth living in.

Education

Increased funding for public schools and teacher recruitment and retention. Mental health support in schools. Food security and after-school programs for working families. Stronger accountability and resources in the foster care system. And making sure that every kid in District 119, regardless of zip code or family income, has a real shot.

Environment and climate

Stronger water-quality enforcement, recurring funding for canal and park maintenance, protection of conservation and agricultural reserve land, investment in flood resilience and drainage, and opposing any effort to open protected natural areas to development. Smart growth means building where we should, not where we shouldn't.

Healthcare

Oppose government interference in personal and medical decisions. Ensure every resident is treated equally under the law, regardless of background, faith, or who they love. Protect religious freedom for all. And keep our community's focus where it belongs: lowering costs, expanding opportunity, and building a District 119 where every family can afford to stay.

Housing

Incentives for affordable and workforce housing near jobs, schools, and transit. Renter protections against abusive fees and deceptive deposits. Transparency requirements in rental applications. State support for responsible housing development, building up, not out into protected land.

Stronger oversight of rate increase requests, mandatory timeline requirements for claim processing, expanded mitigation credits for homeowners who harden their homes, more transparency in Citizens and private insurer decisions, and tougher penalties for bad-faith claim denials.

HOA budget transparency and annual disclosure requirements, fairer fine and lien processes, stronger notice requirements before enforcement actions, easier resident access to records, and real enforcement when boards abuse power. HOAs should work for residents, not against them.

Infrastructure and transportation

State funding for improved bus routes and park-and-ride expansion in West Kendall, rapid transit connections to existing Metrorail lines, road safety improvements on our most dangerous corridors, and long-term regional planning that treats transit as an affordability issue, not just a convenience.

Taxes and government spending

Tax relief on household essentials, stronger consumer protections against hidden fees and price gouging, wage transparency requirements, and keeping affordability, not ideology, at the center of every budget debate.

Other statements

State funding for spay and neuter programs, expanded shelter capacity, stronger rescue and adoption partnerships, and tougher enforcement against animal cruelty and neglect. If we can find money for political consultants, we can find money to take care of animals who have no voice.
