| Issue | Anne Gerwig Republican | August Mangeney 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. | Leans agree· based on record She voted yes on HJR 1-F (June 2, 2026) and HJR 203 (Feb. 19, 2026), but told the Town-Crier she is concerned the homestead-exemption increase would harm municipalities and force Palm Beach County to subsidize poorer regions. | Leans disagree· stated position He told the Town-Crier that Amendment 3 is a distraction and that municipalities will raise fees or cut services to make up lost revenue. |
| 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. | Strongly agrees· stated position She told the Town-Crier that property insurers should face profit limits similar to health and auto insurers. | Leans agree· stated position He supports legislation requiring insurers to pool their reinsurance with other states. |
| Housing affordabilityGovernment should do more to make housing affordable (subsidies, zoning changes, rent measures). | No public position found | Leans agree· stated position He backs tax incentives to encourage developers to build housing in more attainable price ranges. |
| ImmigrationImmigration enforcement should be stricter, including large-scale deportation of people in the country illegally. | Leans agree· based on record Voted yes on SB 2-C (Feb. 13, 2025), which created a State Board of Immigration Enforcement, funded state cooperation with federal immigration enforcement and added criminal penalties tied to immigration status. | No public position found |
| AbortionAbortion should be legal in most cases (Florida's six-week ban should be repealed or loosened). | Leans agree· stated position Says she would not have supported the six-week ban and that a 12-week limit with exceptions for rape, incest and the woman's health was easily supported. | Strongly agrees· stated position Supports a woman's right to choose and opposes laws restricting abortion care or criminalizing patients or doctors. |
| 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 | No public position found |
| Health careGovernment should expand its role in health coverage (expand Medicaid in Florida, extend Affordable Care Act subsidies). | No public position found | Strongly agrees· stated position Says Florida should expand Medicaid and calls refusing federal funds a moral failure. |
| 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. | No public position found | No public position found |
| Growth & developmentGrowth and development should be slowed or more tightly regulated (higher impact fees, density limits, stronger local control). | Strongly agrees· stated position She told the Town-Crier that development needs to slow down and infrastructure should precede expansion, while supporting strategic growth with workforce housing. | Leans agree· stated position He supports local control over development and communities that oppose projects such as data centers. |
| 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· stated position Says the state cannot impose cost-based barriers to voting; supports free records, help with name changes and a cure process. |
| Crime & policingCriminal penalties should be tougher and police funding increased, rather than emphasizing reform and rehabilitation. | No public position found | No public position found |
