Issue Position: Protecting Taxpayer Dollars

Issue Position

Kathleen knows that government must live within its means just like everyone else, which is why she has voted to cut over $6 billion in spending to balance Florida's budget each year. She has voted to cut taxes by over $1 billion and return that money to Florida taxpayers while putting over $9 billion in reserves. That commitment to fiscal responsibility has resulted in Florida being upgraded to the highest-possible AAA bond rating.

This past session, Kathleen continued to fight for broad-based tax relief to families and businesses across the state, resulting in $168.6 million in tax relief. She sponsored a "disaster preparedness" tax-free holiday to give Floridians tax relief when purchasing hurricane supplies vital to ensuring the safety of Floridians and their property (SB 620, HB 7087).
