Position on major issues

Abortion and reproductive policy

Our democracy is under attack, and we need to protect voting rights and representation here in Florida. Black lives matter, and we need to protect communities of color from being impacted by malicious legislation. Republicans are also working to undermine Roe v. Wade and we must protect reproductive rights. The LGTBQ+ community deserves the same protections under the law as everyone else. In every case where a community is targeted or will feel disproportionate impacts, it’s our responsibility to stand up, speak out, and enact change.

Education

Florida’s public schools are struggling, and we cannot get in the way of opportunities for future generations.

Firearms policy

Dan grieved with the families of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas tragedy and is committed to ending the scourge of gun violence. We must address mass shootings and all types of gun violence by enacting common sense reforms like universal background checks, controlling the sale of ammunition, and banning especially dangerous weapons. All of this must happen simultaneously with improving school safety and restricting the prevalence of guns in our public spaces.

Healthcare

Healthcare costs are rising rapidly, and too many Floridians are struggling to get access to the care they deserve.

National security and foreign policy

Urges Congress and the National Guard Bureau to provide our citizen-soldiers the adequate relief and support they require to continue meeting their mission goals by increasing the force structure allocation. Florida is the third most populous state, and yet it ranks 53rd out of the 54 states and territories in the Guardsmen-to-Citizen ratio. In just the past year and a half, due to COVID-19, the Florida National Guard has expended the same number of workdays as it has in the past 20 years. The Florida National Guard needs proper troop numbers based on the size of our state and propensity for natural disasters. (2022, HM 505, SM 826)
