Positions on the major issues

Compare with opponents →

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."

Urges voters not to support the 2026 ballot measure to lower or remove homestead property taxes, saying the revenue is needed.

"For starters, don’t vote for the ballot initiative to lower/remove homeowners taxes. That takes a whole lot of money out of the pot that we are going to need."

Housing affordability Leans agree· stated position

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

Supports limiting private-equity ownership of homes; she says Florida's problem is not a housing shortage.

"Limit private equity homeownership."

Abortion Strongly agrees· stated position

Statement: "Abortion should be legal in most cases (Florida's six-week ban should be repealed or loosened)."

Supports a woman's right to choose.

"I support a woman’s right to choose."

Environment & water Leans agree· stated position

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

Her issues page lists preserving Florida's land and water for future generations as one of three priorities, and her survey names the link between the environment and the economy as a policy passion.

"Preserving the Florida we love for future generations."

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)."

Calls SB 180 "a dirty trap" and the Infill Redevelopment Act an overreach, says the balance is tipped too far toward the state, and pledges to roll back preemption.

"I believe the current balance is tipped too heavily towards the state. I fully support “home rule” and will fight to claw back preemption that favors profit over the people that 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."

Says that if proof-of-citizenship rules take effect the state should cover the gap with a free online notary service, county funding for outreach and in-person re-registration help.

"We would need to cover the gap. I would start with a free online service with a notary."

Veterans Leans agree· stated position

Statement: "Expanding VA services and veterans' benefits should be a top priority."

Her 2025 survey listed protecting veterans and Social Security as a key campaign message.

"Protecting veterans and social security"
