Working Floridians need help – and they need it now!

When I first ran for office, I vowed that working families and average people would have a strong voice as long as I am given the privilege to serve. I believe I lived up to that promise and I would like to serve you once again.

I am running because I’m tired of the same politicians who say one thing and do another…time and time again. I know you are, too.

I am running to make a difference and to stand up for our school children, and our Floridians. I am also running to fight the extreme agenda of the Rick Scott administration, put an end to crass cronyism that wastes YOUR tax dollars, push for real fiscal accountability, and end sham giveaways to the politically connected.

Too often, bad ideas are simply repackaged and relabeled as “jobs bills”. Unfair tax bills, using borrowed federal dollars to pay for old or outdated concepts, and even a measure to put Tallahassee bureaucrats in charge of our schools have been sold to us as being “pro jobs”. I don’t buy it now and I didn’t buy it then.

I supported real tax incentives and real programs to help bring jobs to the Treasure Coast. I supported our local community’s efforts and worked closely with local business leaders to help create a better environment and a better way of putting our neighbors back to work.

I also opposed state budgets because they enacted cruel cuts in services while adding millions in ridiculous fees and taxes. I voted against taking money out of our community and neighborhood schools in order to fund private schools and I fought against nonsense legislation that tried to hinder your ability to vote, while doing nothing to help you find a job, put food on the table and provide for your family.

My track record speaks for itself. These are the things I stood for in the past and I will stand up strong for you once again.
