Taxes & spending Mixed / neutral· stated position

Statement: "Cutting taxes should be a top priority, even if it means less government spending on services."

Her campaign site says she would keep taxes and fees as low as responsibly possible and control government costs, while also protecting essential services and reducing expenses; it cites Daytona Beach Shores becoming debt-free during her tenure.

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."

Flooding and stormwater are her lead issue. She would move stormwater projects from planning into funded construction, use engineering data on water flow before spending, pursue state and federal funding, and create a countywide stormwater resilience dashboard.

Growth & development Leans agree· stated position

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

Her campaign site calls for a public county development dashboard tracking proposed development in unincorporated Volusia, earlier notice to residents of significant zoning changes, greater scrutiny and a supermajority vote when upzoning significantly increases density, and a focus on redeveloping vacant property.

"Create an easy-to-use County Development Dashboard where residents can track current and proposed development in unincorporated Volusia County"

Crime & policing Leans agree· stated position

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

Her campaign site says she would support law enforcement with adequate staffing, training, equipment and resources and backs professional, well-trained first responders. She does not address criminal penalties or rehabilitation programs.
