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 Mixed / neutral· stated position
Yabraian says property-tax relief is needed but is not a solution to the affordability crisis, which she says is driven more by insurance costs.
"We need property-tax relief, but we cannot pretend it solves the affordability crisis."
Property insurance Strongly agrees· stated position
Yabraian proposes a state investigation of insurance rate increases with required refunds or rate reductions when overcharges are found, and calls for stronger insurer accountability.
"It would launch an independent investigation into insurance rate increases, require greater transparency from insurers, and require refunds or rate reductions when unjustified overcharges are found."
Housing affordability Strongly agrees· stated position
Her proposed Florida Housing and Insurance Emergency Relief Act includes a temporary rent freeze, faster approvals for workforce housing, limits on large out-of-state and foreign investors, and a legal-defense fund for renters and homeowners.
"It includes a temporary rent freeze to provide immediate relief from sudden increases"
Abortion Strongly agrees· stated position
Yabraian supports a woman's right to abortion care, citing her own medically necessary abortion, and says such decisions belong to a woman and her doctor.
"I support a woman's right to access abortion care because deeply personal medical decisions should be made by a woman and her doctor—not politicians."
Health care Strongly agrees· stated position
Yabraian says Florida should expand Medicaid to close the coverage gap and provide state help with premiums and prescription costs.
"Florida should expand Medicaid, which it still has not done, to close the coverage gap and bring federal healthcare dollars back to our state."
Growth & development Leans agree· stated position
She supports strong home rule so communities can restrict or ban large data centers and other projects affecting water, power bills and property rights.
"If a community determines that a hyperscale AI data center threatens its water, electric grid, property rights, environment, or taxpayers, it should have the authority to say no."
Elections & voting Strongly agrees· stated position
She calls a documentary proof-of-citizenship requirement for voter registration unnecessary, says her first priority would be to change that law, and would provide free records in the meantime.
"I believe requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register is unnecessary and creates new barriers for lawful voters"
