Criminal justice and policing

As Florida continues to grow, Leonard will work with local governments, schools, and law enforcement offices to increase funding for mental health services for students and populations in need.

Housing

Leonard is holding insurance companies and corporate landlords accountable to lower the cost of housing for Central Florida families. He’ll continue to oppose taxpayer handouts to insurance companies that jack up our rates and don’t follow through on their promises to cover Florida families after disaster strikes. He’s also fighting for more funding to build workforce housing that is affordable for the people who power our communities like teachers, firefighters, and EMTs.
