Housing affordability Strongly agrees· stated position

Abortion Leans agree· stated position
He supports abortion access for health and life risks, rape or incest, non-viable pregnancies and severe fetal anomalies, and said early-term decisions should be left to a woman and her doctor.
"I also believe early‑term reproductive decisions should remain between a woman and her doctor, not the government."
Health care Mixed / neutral· stated position
He proposed state-funded premium assistance for families losing federal subsidies and drawing down more federal matching dollars for safety-net hospitals, paired with market-driven steps to expand the health workforce. He did not address Medicaid expansion.
"By pairing targeted coverage protections for vulnerable populations with market-driven supply expansions, Florida can protect state revenues while ensuring accessible care."
Elections & voting Leans agree· stated position
