Thinking for yourself matters

Position on major issues

Economy, jobs and wages

Economic Affordability: In media interviews and candidate reviews with the Miami Herald published in September 2026, Meidinger Hosey cited the local cost-of-living crisis as a top concern facing South Florida families. She advocates for federal policies designed to lower household financial strain.

Healthcare

Healthcare Access: To lower medical costs and address vulnerabilities in the current healthcare system, she formally favors a Medicare for All framework to expand universal healthcare coverage.

Immigration

Immigration Reform: While her Democratic opponent has advocated for abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Meidinger Hosey stakes out a more moderate, regulatory approach. She supports comprehensive federal immigration reform paired specifically with restructuring and reforming ICE operations.
