Official record
Agriculture is the backbone of Florida’s heritage and economy. I’m working to protect our farmers from overregulation, ensure continued access to clean water, and invest in disease prevention programs like citrus greening research. Supporting agriculture means supporting local jobs and the rural way of life that defines our region.

Families across Florida are feeling the pressure of rising costs from groceries to gasoline.

Every child in Florida deserves access to a high-quality education tailored to their needs. I support expanding school choice options, empowering parents, and ensuring that our schools focus on academics, not radical agendas. We must reward excellent teachers, promote vocational training, and prepare students for real world success.
JJ is a strong supporter of school choice and empowering parents to have more control of their child’s future and education. JJ supported parents and students by revising our school start times to ensure students aren’t put in danger and are starting school at an acceptable hour. JJ also expanded access to transportation options to schoolchildren to protect them traveling to school and increased access for home-school students to play in school sports.
There is nothing more important than making sure our children receive a world-class education. JJ is a strong supporter of school choice and empowering parents to have more control of their child’s future and education.

As a coastal district, skyrocketing property insurance rates are one of the biggest threats to homeownership. I support reforms that reduce fraud and abuse in the system while holding insurers accountable to ensure fair and stable pricing for consumers. We must continue to strengthen our legal system to prevent frivolous lawsuits and encourage insurers to re-enters the Florida market, increasing competition and lowering premiums.
Insurance Florida’s insurance market needs continued reforms to make sure we have a thriving, stable, and AFFORDABLE marketplace. Because of the reforms, passed a few years ago that targeted frivolous lawsuits and needless litigation, our insurance market is showing signs of improvement. We’ve seen OVER 30 homeowners’ insurance companies DECREASE their rates, we’ve seen OVER 40 auto insurance companies DECREASE their rates and we’ve had nearly two dozen new insurance companies come into Florida – more competition helps lower prices. We have to remain vigilant and make sure that insurance companies are doing the right thing, paying out claims, and not hiding profits so homeowners and drivers can enjoy continued reductions in rates.

Homeowners deserve relief from rising property taxes. I will fight to preserve and expand property tax exemptions for seniors, veterans, and working families. We must also ensure local governments are using tax dollars efficiently and any increases in revenue should come with increased transparency and accountability.
JJ Grow voted to cut BILLIONS in taxes, including sales taxes holidays for school supplies, tools, and hurricane preparedness items and voted to place historic property tax relief on the ballot this November, potentially saving homeowners thousands of dollars a year in property taxes. JJ also voted to shrink the size of state government, voting for back-to-back balanced budgets that reduced spending, paid off early one billion in debt and put billions in the state’s Rainy Day Fund.
JJ Grow believes in making government leaner but more efficient by focusing on the things we all believe need to be tackling on the state level.
