This bill would go above and beyond the wrongful death legislation of other states by allowing civil suits for the wrongful death of an "unborn child" at any stage of development. The bill's definition of "unborn child" remains ambiguous, and would have negative, indirect consequences on the availability of maternity services such as IVF treatments. ​ Kim Finer believes in ACCESSIBILITY: Let's create clearly defined policies that don't create ambiguity or unnecessary consequences for young families and their healthcare choices. This bill discourages new physicians from practicing, as trained, in Florida, thus they will simply practice elsewhere. Meanwhile, some established physicians will either retire or leave Florida creating medical deserts— not a good trend in a state with a large senior population

This bill gives government broad power that violates 1st Amendment rights of free speech. It will grant the legal system authority to penalize Floridians for association and advocacy, not just criminal acts. It enables government overreach and inconsistent enforcement by being intentionally vague. ​ Kim Finer believes in ACCOUNTABILITY: Let's build strong, economically secure communities where harmful ideologies are less likely to take root. We can strengthen economic stability, social cohesion, and trust in institutions in ways that reduce the conditions that lead to instability in the first place.

This bill creates unequal treatment across our public workforce by specifically targeting non-public safety workers like teachers. The bill requires union votes to receive a majority support from the entire workforce (not just voters), which sets a very high bar and unfairly weakens worker representation. ​ Kim Finer believes in ACCOUNTABILITY: Let's focus on modernizing and upgrading the work across our entire public workforce - not unfairly regulating it across a few sectors. In early 2026, Florida teacher’s average pay ranked 50th in the US, clearly indicating they, and others in the public sector, need collective bargaining to negotiate fair contracts.

This bill was designed to recognize the late “influencer” Charlie Kirk. The bill would set a precedent of escalating non-political activities and events to become political in nature. While its intention was to increase young adult civic participation, it misses the mark by driving awareness only, rather than enabling greater accessibility to civic process for young adults.

Kim Finer believes in ACCESSIBILITY: Let's elevate our thinking and create real opportunities for the next generation of political leaders by enabling tangible entry points into government. We shouldn't tell them who to admire—we should give them the tools and opportunity to lead. This legislation panders to political sycophants and does nothing tangible for the citizens of District 81.

ANTI-DIVERSITY BILL (HB 1001 / SB 1134): This bill is designed to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) activities at the local government level. It bans local funding, promotion, or carrying out of DEI activities, including LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations. ​ Kim Finer believes in ACCOUNTABILITY: Let's focus on economic results, not political labels, by empowering local action rather than restricting it. Repeal this law. FLORIDA SAVE ACT (HB 991): This elections law is focused on verifying voter citizenship and tightening identification requirements. However, it creates disproportionate voting barriers for elderly, married women with name changes, students, and low-income voters. It risks suppressing voters for the purpose of solving what remains a non-existent problem. Kim Finer believes in ACCESSIBILITY: Let's build trust in our voting process through transparency and not complexity. Elections should be both secure and equally accessible for all by better enabling modernized identification and security rather than unfairly burdening women, the elderly, college students, economically disadvantaged, and disabled citizens.

ENERGY POLICY CHANGES (HB 1217): This bill is focused on restricting how state and local governments in Florida can address climate change and energy policy—particularly around “net-zero” initiatives. This bill will not only cost voters more, but also remove the ability for District 81 to control our local utility decisions, energy needs, and climate risks. Kim Finer believes in AFFORDABILITY: For coastline communities like District 81, our ability to control climate resiliency is a core tenant of our economic strategy. Let’s focus on building an energy economy that keeps energy affordable, reliable, and forward-looking by modernizing how we produce and use energy. Given the state’s topography, geology, and abundant sunshine, we are uniquely suited to capture renewable energy options. This bill goes against our best interests.

This bill was designed to fast-track and spur development - without prioritizing the right strategic development for our district. The bill shifts power balance from local government and interests, into the hands of developers. It is also anticipated to drive infrastructure strain, cost of living increases, and reduced climate resiliency. ​ Kim Finer believes in AFFORDABILITY: We don’t just need more development—we need smarter development that keeps communities livable, affordable, and built for the future. Growth should work for everyone—families, businesses, communities, and the environment they live in. This is just another bill that erodes local control.

This overly complicated bill is designed to promote large scale development while skirting or challenging local zoning and comprehensive plans. It will cause District 81 to lose local government flexibility in tailoring private property rules to our coastal community needs. This ultimately limits our ability to control housing and cost-of-living affordability, as well as climate resiliency. ​ Kim Finer believes in AFFORDABILITY: Tourism and affordability can both thrive when we create economic policies that make them mutually beneficial and exclusive to one another. Let’s retain local government control and not promote urban sprawl particularly in environmentally sensitive areas.

This bill is designed to reduce mandatory vaccine requirements, which will have broad public health, workplace, and school safety implications. It also incites public confusion and misconception regarding the safety of vaccines for individuals and their children. regarding the importance vaccines. The bill also promotes the use of Ivermectin in contexts where evidence doesn't support it - and will make it available for over-the-counter purchase. ​ Kim Finer believes in ACCOUNTABILITY: The recent Measles outbreak further validates what science has always proven true - when vaccinations decline, the virus finds new “pockets” of unprotected people. Let’s protect public health by keeping vaccine requirements as they are and keep medical policies rooted in proven medical science. If we continue to ignore science and promote falsehoods, children will die from preventable diseases

NAPLES AIRPORT ISSUES (CS/HB 4005): This bill allowed state-intervention regarding Naples Airport - a unique and sensitive local issue. It politicizes airport decisions by shifting governance from the city to an elected board of city and county representatives. It also removes prior prohibitions on paying board members that were designed to prevent self-interest decision-making. Kim Finer believes in ACCOUNTABILITY: This isn’t about politics—it’s about making sure our airport is run by qualified experts, guided by the community, and focused on driving jobs and economic growth. We don’t need to choose between local control and public accountability—we can design a system that delivers both. Driving a political wedge between airport management and impacted citizens solves nothing.
