Side-by-side on the major issues
Each row is a statement. The chips show how each candidate's stated positions or record relate to that statement. Expand a row to read the evidence and sources. "No public position found" means we could not find a statement or record on the topic, not that the candidate has none.
| Issue | Ionel Roiban Republican | Rob Long Democratic |
|---|---|---|
| Taxes & spendingCutting taxes should be a top priority, even if it means less government spending on services. | No public position found | No public position found |
| Property taxesFlorida should eliminate or sharply reduce homestead property taxes, even if local governments must cut services or find other revenue. | Strongly agrees· stated position His site says he backs Amendment 3 and would help write its implementing law, and supports phasing out non-school property taxes on homesteads; he says he is voting yes. | Strongly disagrees· based on record He voted no on HJR 203 (Feb. 19, 2026), his site opposes the governor's property tax amendment as shifting costs to renters and small businesses, and he called the amendment a 'shell game' in August 2026. He did not vote on HJR 1-F. |
| Property insuranceThe 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. | Leans disagree· stated position He wants to defend the litigation reforms he credits with lowering Florida's share of insurance lawsuits, target litigation and fraud costs, and bring more insurers back to compete. | Mixed / neutral· stated position Wants lower premiums through competition, mitigation programs, transparency and consumer protections, without leaving taxpayers holding the risk; he does not call for rate caps or a larger Citizens. |
| Housing affordabilityGovernment should do more to make housing affordable (subsidies, zoning changes, rent measures). | Leans disagree· stated position He favors market-driven supply of attainable homes and cutting carrying costs like insurance and property taxes, while protecting homestead and senior exemptions. | Strongly agrees· stated position Supports fully funding the state housing trust funds, expanding SHIP and SAIL, using public land for workforce housing and down-payment assistance, and giving local governments flexibility to add housing. |
| ImmigrationImmigration enforcement should be stricter, including large-scale deportation of people in the country illegally. | No public position found | Leans disagree· based on record Voted no on HB 197 (Jan. 15, 2026), which would have required all private employers to use E-Verify to check new hires' work eligibility; it passed the House 80-30 and died in the Senate. |
| AbortionAbortion should be legal in most cases (Florida's six-week ban should be repealed or loosened). | No public position found | Strongly agrees· stated position Opposes Florida's six-week abortion ban and supports restoring protections like those under Roe v. Wade, including access before viability. |
| GunsGun laws should be stricter (keep the red-flag law and the age-21 purchase rule; expand background checks) rather than looser (permitless or open carry, lower purchase age). | No public position found | Strongly agrees· based on record Voted no on HB 133 (Jan. 15, 2026), which would have lowered the minimum age to buy a rifle from 21 to 18; it passed the House and died in the Senate. |
| Health careGovernment should expand its role in health coverage (expand Medicaid in Florida, extend Affordable Care Act subsidies). | No public position found | Leans agree· stated position Says the state should use every available tool to keep people insured, including maximizing federal Medicaid dollars and protecting coverage; he does not explicitly call for Medicaid expansion. |
| Education & school choicePublic money should follow students to private, charter or home schools (universal school vouchers). | No public position found | No public position found |
| Environment & waterProtecting water quality, conservation land and climate resilience should take priority even if it slows development or raises costs. | Leans agree· stated position He says he supports clean water and healthy beaches and funding flood and stormwater resilience for coastal neighborhoods. | Strongly agrees· stated position He helped pass the Joe Casello Act restricting PFAS 'forever chemicals' and supports coral research, coastal resilience and climate adaptation; his prior service was on a soil and water conservation board. |
| Growth & developmentGrowth and development should be slowed or more tightly regulated (higher impact fees, density limits, stronger local control). | No public position found | Leans agree· stated position Says Florida has moved too far toward state preemption and supports a stronger presumption in favor of local home rule over local decisions. |
| MarijuanaRecreational marijuana should be legal for adults. | No public position found | No public position found |
| Elections & votingVoting should be made easier (mail voting, drop boxes, restoring voting rights) rather than adding new restrictions. | No public position found | Strongly agrees· based on record Voted no on CS/CS/HB 991 when it passed the House on Feb. 25, 2026 and no on final House passage March 12, 2026. CS/CS/HB 991 (2026), now law (Ch. 2026-26), requires the state to verify voters' U.S. citizenship using driver-license and other government records and removes student and retirement-home IDs from the IDs accepted at the polls. On VOTE411 he said he opposes unnecessary barriers to voting and that required documents should be free.
