Each entry describes what the candidate has said or done, and what they say they will do, in neutral terms with sources. The chip shows how that relates to the statement voters rate in the matching tool.

Property taxes Strongly disagrees· stated position

Statement: "Florida should eliminate or sharply reduce homestead property taxes, even if local governments must cut services or find other revenue."

Calls Amendment 3 a disaster and says cutting property taxes would not offset insurance costs while cutting fire and drainage services.

"Amendment 3's disaster of a property tax reform!"

Property insurance Strongly agrees· stated position

Statement: "The state should intervene more directly in the property-insurance market (rate caps, expanding Citizens, stricter insurer regulation) rather than relying mainly on market-based reforms."

Would co-sponsor rate-cap legislation limiting annual homeowners premium increases, open insurer filings to public review and take hurricane risk into a state catastrophe fund.

"The insurance market has failed. It is time for the state to step in."

Housing affordability Strongly agrees· stated position

Statement: "Government should do more to make housing affordable (subsidies, zoning changes, rent measures)."

Supports an accessory-dwelling bill, down-payment assistance, community land trusts, limits on hedge-fund home buying, repealing the 2023 preemption of local tenant protections and restoring the Sadowski fund.

Abortion Strongly agrees· stated position

Statement: "Abortion should be legal in most cases (Florida's six-week ban should be repealed or loosened)."

Supports abortion access without government restriction and would restore the pre-ban viability standard.

"I support access to abortion without government restriction. That decision belongs to a woman and her doctor."

Health care Strongly agrees· stated position

Statement: "Government should expand its role in health coverage (expand Medicaid in Florida, extend Affordable Care Act subsidies)."

Would file for Medicaid expansion, backfill lost ACA subsidies with a state program and says he supports a single-payer system.

"Expand Medicaid. Florida is one of ten states still refusing."

Education & school choice Strongly disagrees· stated position

Statement: "Public money should follow students to private, charter or home schools (universal school vouchers)."

Opposes further voucher expansion and wants accountability for the $3.9 billion voucher program.

"plug the voucher funding hole that's draining public schools"

Environment & water Strongly agrees· stated position

Statement: "Protecting water quality, conservation land and climate resilience should take priority even if it slows development or raises costs."

Calls protecting and restoring the Indian River Lagoon non-negotiable and proposes higher penalties for runoff violations and faster septic-to-sewer funding.

"There is no version of representing this district that does not include protecting and restoring the Indian River Lagoon. Full stop."

Growth & development Strongly agrees· stated position

Statement: "Growth and development should be slowed or more tightly regulated (higher impact fees, density limits, stronger local control)."

Opposes Live Local Act expansions that limit local control, would vote no on every preemption bill and says density decisions belong to local communities.

"Density decisions should be made by the people who live there"

Elections & voting Leans agree· stated position

Statement: "Voting should be made easier (mail voting, drop boxes, restoring voting rights) rather than adding new restrictions."

Would have the state verify citizenship through existing records, waive document fees and fund document clinics.

"Your vote should not depend on your filing cabinet being organized."

Crime & policing Leans disagree· stated position

Statement: "Criminal penalties should be tougher and police funding increased, rather than emphasizing reform and rehabilitation."

Favors expanding juvenile civil citations instead of arrests, citing lower recidivism.

Gender identity laws Strongly disagrees· stated position

Statement: "Florida's laws restricting gender-affirming care for minors and classroom instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity should remain in place."

Would co-sponsor a Florida Equal Rights Act covering sexual orientation and gender identity and vote against preempting local anti-discrimination protections.

Energy & utilities Leans agree· stated position

Statement: "Government should promote renewable energy and tighten oversight of utility rate increases, even at the expense of fossil-fuel production."

Says Florida electricity is the most expensive in the nation because of inadequate Public Service Commission regulation.

"Electricity in Florida is the most expensive electricity in the nation bar none"
