And here in Florida, women and girls face yet another health crisis. The state’s dangerous, six-week abortion ban puts politicians between women and their doctors, making women everywhere less safe and less free. That’s why I support codifying Roe into federal law, to put these decisions back where they belong – with patients.

Bale Dalton Calls for Prison Time for Corrupt Politicians Who Stole from Floridians

We must ensure that our police departments are fully funded and have the resources they need to do their job well. I’m not interested in partisan politicians who refuse to talk about the need to keep firearms out of the hands of dangerous criminals, or who refuse to talk about the need to adequately fund our law enforcement agencies and public safety officers.

Public safety, whether from gun violence or any other type of violent crime, is our government’s number one priority. Without safe communities and safe schools, we cannot have prosperous families and prosperous businesses.

We need to crack down on the power companies and property insurers that are ripping Floridians off and raising rates year after year, without any improvement in service. Tallahassee has let these companies run state-sanctioned monopolies for too long. In Congress, I will be laser-focused on fostering competition, not consolidation, and fighting for a better deal for Florida families. With prices rising, wages also need to keep up – which is why I support raising the federal minimum wage and passing the PRO Act, so labor unions can advocate for workers in a changing economy.

Our Congressman, Cory Mills, voted for the illegal tariffs that made everything from groceries to car repairs more expensive, while raising costs for families and small businesses. He created a crisis for his own constituents, by voting to raise the cost of health care premiums by thousands of dollars every month – all to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. And he championed the rudderless war with Iran that made our gas prices in Florida go through the roof.

My first priority in Congress will be working to make Florida affordable again. We need to stop the bleeding, by reversing health care premium hikes and illegal, unpredictable tariffs. But more than that, we need representatives who will fight for working families – not for another tax giveaway for corporations and billionaires.

As a Navy helicopter pilot and squadron leader, I’ve spent my career in environments that demand complete accountability – so this behavior is disgusting to me. That’s why, I support barring all federal employees and elected officials from betting on prediction markets. As a combat veteran, I was sickened to see folks placing bets on prediction markets about whether our F-15 pilot and Weapons System Officer in Iran would come home alive. It’s time to place real penalties on elected officials who bet against America and play by a different set of rules than the rest of us.

We should also be making it illegal for politicians to profit off of their positions by trading stocks on the very companies they are supposed to regulate.

We need representation in DC that is fighting for the working class instead of their corporate billionaire friends and wealthy donors.

Preserving environmental resources and preventing drilling off the coasts of Florida means protecting the Eglin Gulf Test and Training Range, as well as the Eastern Range, so that our military and our space program can continue to operate in order to keep our nation safe and secure. Endorsing an all-of-the-above energy policy means strengthening our nation’s energy independence and reducing our need for foreign oil and Chinese solar while also lowering costs for American consumers.

As a gun owner today, I understand and deeply believe that the Second Amendment is a fundamental right for law-abiding citizens in this country, as it should be. I also believe that gun owners should be well-trained and responsible, and that violent criminals should not have access to firearms. Despite what the partisan rhetoric would have you think, these are commonsense and commonly held beliefs, in Florida and across the nation.

Trust in government is at all time lows, and with good reason. Here in Central Florida, our Congressman is being investigated by the House Ethics Committee for conflicts of interest, sexual misconduct, corruption, and campaign finance violations. And throughout Washington, members of Congress are getting rich by trading insider information on stock and prediction markets.

Too many Florida families are one health emergency away from financial disaster. While our health care system has been broken for a long time, Congress made the problem even worse last year by voting to cut Medicaid, Medicare, and to hike premium costs on hardworking families. Thanks to Congressman Mills, health insurance premiums for ACA plans are four times as high as they were just a year ago, and tens of thousands of Central Floridians have lost coverage altogether.

Even for seniors who have access to Medicare, premiums are on the rise and prescription medications are often unaffordable. Seniors who have worked their entire lives have earned retirement with dignity and security. And now, Social Security and the Medicare Trust Fund risk going bankrupt by 2033.

Congress must act to address the housing affordability crisis that has swept our state and our country. While we absolutely need to enable the creation of more housing at all income levels in order to increase supply, we also should ban Wall Street speculators from buying up single-family homes, which further reduces options for families and drives up costs for everyone else.

It’s not just the sticker price that is causing problems for families young and old throughout central Florida; it’s the mountain of costs that comes with it. Between high interest rates, skyrocketing HOA fees, and rising property taxes, families are being stretched to the breaking point. Home insurance rates also continue to climb year after year, and too often, when disaster strikes, that insurance is little more than the right to sue for the coverage you already paid for. Meanwhile, nonrenewal rates have increased by over 100% in many counties across the state just in the last few years.

Meanwhile, our government in Washington continues to waste countless billions of dollars, further eroding taxpayers’ trust, not to mention their hard-earned tax dollars. It’s outrageous that the Administration chose to spend $200 million on jets for Kristi Noem, $125 million on new plaques to rename the Pentagon, and $20 billion to bail out Argentina’s economy – all instead of helping people pay their bills in Florida. That’s our money they’re spending, and those priorities are totally backwards.
