Priority Issues:
Covid-19 - Our leaders must stay calm, lead by example, and not exaggerate but not minimize either. This is not an issue that should be politicized.It's essential that elected officials keep working and be visible with protections in place. The State Legislature should return in session in Tallahassee and be seen making budget decisions as required by our State Constitution. The trust of the public must be restored if we are to have any hope of educating our citizens with science, truth, and transparency.
Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I'm running because I don't feel represented, perhaps you don't either. 23 years of one-party rule has resulted in corporate/financial interests and short term profits being prioritized over people and long-term stability.
