Just in case you were wondering about intent~

Inflation makes it harder for families to afford the basics—from groceries and childcare to gas and housing. While Congress cannot control prices directly, it can reduce many of the pressures that drive inflation.

I support:

• Reducing unnecessary federal spending that fuels long-term inflation.

• Encouraging domestic production so America relies less on unstable foreign supply chains.

• Strengthening competition to reduce monopolistic pricing.

• Expanding workforce participation so businesses can grow without driving unsustainable labor shortages.

• Investing in infrastructure that improves efficiency and lowers transportation costs.

A stronger economy begins with producing more of what Americans need at home while spending taxpayer dollars responsibly.

Every dollar Congress spends belongs to the American people.

I support conducting regular reviews of federal agencies and programs to identify waste, duplication, and outdated initiatives. Programs that continue to deliver measurable value should be maintained, while those that no longer serve the public effectively should be reformed or eliminated.

Reducing waste allows us to invest in priorities that strengthen our communities without unnecessarily increasing the national debt.

The growing national debt threatens future generations by increasing interest costs that crowd out investments in education, infrastructure, defense, and innovation. Reducing waste and making America money? Oh yeah, I know a little about that.

I support:

• Responsible budgeting.

• Multi-year financial planning.

• Reviewing mandatory and discretionary spending for efficiencies.

• Growing the economy through productivity instead of excessive borrowing.

Debt reduction should be gradual, responsible, and avoid placing unnecessary hardship on working families.

Taxes-still one of the hottest topics in America since that really famous tea party that took place back in the day. The only thing that’s changed between the beginning of our country and where we are now is the level of greed our government has come to depend on from its taxpayers. America's tax code has become unnecessarily complicated.

I support:

• Simplifying the federal tax code.

• Reducing unnecessary compliance burdens on families and businesses.

• Encouraging work, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

• Making it easier for small businesses to succeed.

Tax policy should reward productivity while remaining fair and understandable.

Homeowners insurance has become one of the largest financial burdens facing Floridians while insurance companies give you less while asking you to pay more.

I support working with state and local leaders to:

• Encourage greater market competition.

• Improve community resilience through stronger building standards and mitigation efforts.

• Reduce fraud where it exists.

• Invest in disaster preparedness to reduce long-term insurance losses.

Families should not be forced to choose between protecting their homes and affording everyday necessities.

Flooding affects communities throughout Northwest Florida.

I support modernizing flood risk assessments, improving mitigation efforts, and encouraging investments that reduce long-term flood losses while keeping flood insurance available for communities that need it.

Prepared communities experience lower recovery costs after disasters.

Housing costs continue to outpace wages across much of Florida with no protections to those who have built the Florida up that everyone is so eager to buy-and that’s not right or fair.

I support:

• Increasing responsible housing supply.

• Encouraging workforce housing.

• Supporting infrastructure that allows communities to grow sustainably.

• Reducing unnecessary regulatory barriers that increase construction costs.

• Promoting mixed-income developments where appropriate.

Housing policy should ensure that teachers, nurses, first responders, military families, and young professionals can afford to live in the communities they serve.

Small businesses create jobs, strengthen communities, and keep local economies resilient, but getting a foothold in an oversaturated market of any sort makes Americans feel like they can’t pursue their own happiness in a way that benefits them, and maybe even ultimately their community.

I support:

• Reducing unnecessary regulations.

• Expanding access to capital.

• Simplifying permitting where appropriate.

• Encouraging entrepreneurship.

• Supporting local businesses through workforce development and infrastructure investments.

Strong local businesses create stronger communities.

America should build more of what it consumes. We currently produce entertainment as our biggest export-we can do better.

I support:

• Expanding advanced manufacturing.

• Strengthening domestic supply chains.

• Investing in skilled trades.

• Encouraging innovation.

• Reducing dependence on foreign manufacturing for critical industries.

A stronger manufacturing base improves both economic and national security.

Affordable, reliable electricity is essential for every household, business, school, and hospital. Families shouldn't have to keep worrying about flickering lights or repeated outages every time even a minor storm moves through our community while continuing to pay higher utility bills.

I believe utilities should be held accountable not only for the rates they charge, but also for the reliability and resilience of the infrastructure those rates are supposed to maintain.

I support:

• Holding utilities accountable for delivering measurable improvements when rate increases are approved for infrastructure upgrades.

• Increasing transparency so customers can clearly see how infrastructure investments are being spent and what improvements have been delivered.

• Prioritizing investments that strengthen grid reliability and reduce the frequency and duration of outages.

• Supporting grid modernization technologies that improve reliability, shorten restoration times, and better withstand hurricanes and severe weather.

• Encouraging innovation and competition where appropriate to improve service and lower long-term costs.

• Promoting an all-of-the-above energy strategy that values affordability, reliability, resilience, and American energy independence.

Infrastructure investments should produce real results—not just higher monthly bills.

Utility Accountability

When utilities request higher rates to modernize infrastructure, customers deserve to know:

• What improvements are being made.

• When those improvements will be completed.

• Whether those investments are actually improving reliability.

• How success is being measured.

If families are paying more each month to strengthen the electric grid, they should see fewer outages, faster restoration after storms, and a more resilient system—not continued service interruptions with little explanation.

I support improving transparency and performance reporting so customers can better understand how their money is being invested and whether those investments are delivering on their promises.

Long-Term Energy Vision

America's energy future should be reliable, affordable, and resilient.

Rather than relying on a single solution, I support investing in technologies that strengthen our electric grid, encourage domestic energy production, modernize aging infrastructure, and improve disaster preparedness.

A resilient grid protects our economy, strengthens national security, supports military installations, and gives families confidence that essential services will remain available when they're needed most.

Social Security is a promise that generations of Americans have paid into throughout their working lives. Those benefits should be protected for current retirees while strengthening the program for future generations.

Simply delaying difficult decisions will only make the problem harder to solve. We should pursue responsible reforms that improve the long-term financial health of Social Security without breaking the promises made to those who have earned their benefits.

I support:

• Protecting benefits for current retirees and those nearing retirement.

• Improving the long-term financial sustainability of the Social Security Trust Fund.

• Exploring prudent strategies to strengthen the Trust Fund's long-term investment performance while maintaining the safety and security of taxpayer contributions.

• Reducing waste, fraud, and administrative inefficiencies within the program.

• Improving customer service and reducing wait times for beneficiaries.

• Making the Social Security system easier to navigate for workers planning for retirement.

Americans deserve confidence that Social Security will remain available not only today, but for their children and grandchildren as well.

Strengthening the Trust Fund

The Social Security Trust Fund should be managed with both security and long-term sustainability in mind.

I support examining ways to responsibly improve long-term returns on Trust Fund assets while maintaining strong safeguards to protect the retirement security of American workers. Any reforms should prioritize preserving principal, protecting beneficiaries, and ensuring that the program keeps pace with inflation and future demographic changes.

Every reform should answer one question:

Will this make Social Security stronger for the next generation without putting today's retirees at unnecessary risk?

Access to healthcare should not depend on whether someone has private insurance or receives Medicaid.

Too many patients struggle to find physicians who accept Medicaid, while providers often face administrative burdens that make participation difficult. The result is longer wait times, fewer choices, and unequal access to care.

I believe Medicaid should provide quality healthcare—not simply the minimum level of care available.

I support:

• Expanding provider participation by reducing unnecessary administrative burdens and improving the experience for physicians and healthcare professionals.

• Improving reimbursement systems where appropriate to encourage more providers to accept Medicaid patients.

• Simplifying paperwork and authorization requirements for both patients and providers.

• Modernizing Medicaid technology to reduce delays and improve coordination of care.

• Reviewing benefits regularly to ensure they reflect current healthcare needs and medical best practices.

• Improving access to preventive care, behavioral health services, dental care, and specialty care.

Patients enrolled in Medicaid deserve timely access to qualified healthcare professionals—not a healthcare system that feels separate or second-class.

Modernizing Medicaid

Healthcare has changed dramatically over the past several decades, but many administrative systems have not.

I support modernizing Medicaid so it works better for everyone involved.

That includes:

• Streamlining enrollment and renewal processes.

• Reducing unnecessary paperwork.

• Improving communication between healthcare providers and state agencies.

• Expanding the use of secure digital tools where they improve patient care.

• Identifying outdated rules that increase costs without improving outcomes.

A better Medicaid system should save time, reduce frustration, and allow doctors to spend more time treating patients instead of navigating bureaucracy.
