Property insurance Leans disagree· 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."

Solomon calls the cost of property insurance one of the central problems facing District 38 families, but says he would attack it through transparency and competition rather than by describing direct state intervention such as rate caps or expanding Citizens.

"address the property insurance crisis through transparency and competition"

Housing affordability Leans agree· stated position

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

Solomon lists housing affordability among his campaign's core issues and says he would support affordable homeownership and make owning a home more attainable, without naming specific programs.

Health care Leans agree· stated position

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

Solomon, a health care provider, says he would work to lower health insurance premiums, cut prescription drug costs, expand telehealth and mobile health services and improve access to mental health and preventive care. He does not specifically address Medicaid expansion or ACA subsidies.

"I will fight to lower health insurance premiums, reduce prescription drug costs, expand telehealth and mobile healthcare services, improve access to mental health care"

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."
