Voting & Values Hector believes no Floridian should be disenfranchised due to cost, distance, or lack of access to vital records. He supports state-funded mobile documentation clinics, fee waivers for low-income residents, and partnerships with county clerks to streamline access to certified birth and marriage certificates. He specifically notes that women who changed their names through marriage or divorce often face added hurdles, and supports free certified copies and expedited processing so that voting — a constitutional right — isn't burdened by cost.

Healthcare Lower costs without higher taxes is the goal — Hector backs state-level legislation encouraging self-funding healthcare models, expanded state-negotiated prescription pricing, increased telehealth access, and targeted subsidies for vulnerable populations. He also supports streamlining Medicaid administration to reduce waste and redirect savings toward coverage expansion — with the goal of healthcare that is accessible, transparent, and financially sustainable for Florida families. Faster, more affordable care for the men and women who served — that's what Hector wants for veterans in Palm Beach and Broward counties, through expanded partnerships between the state's veterans' hospitals and community health providers, and lower out-of-pocket costs for veterans and their families.

Hector's Solution Champion policyholder-owned reciprocal insurance exchanges — homeowners pool risk across regions and own the carrier, so premiums pay claims, not shareholder dividends Require any carrier receiving state reinsurance backing to pass savings to policyholders as measurable rate reductions — not press releases Fight for state-backed, low-interest financing of condo special assessments, so safety compliance never forces a retiree out of a paid-off home

Hector supports expanding public-private workforce housing partnerships that are self-funded and reduce reliance on taxpayer subsidies. He also proposes a "Landlord Loan Act": allowing an owner with at least 30% equity to finance the sale of their home directly to a tenant through a wrap-around mortgage, with the interest rate capped near the existing note rate. It's a state-level tool that opens a path to ownership for families priced out of traditional bank financing — without new taxpayer spending. SB 4-D's milestone inspections and structural reserve requirements exist for good reason — put in place after the Surfside collapse, safety can't be optional. But across Boca Raton, Parkland, and Coral Springs, condo owners are now facing five- and six-figure special assessments with little warning, some being forced to sell or face foreclosure to comply with a law everyone supports in principle. His fix: state-backed, low-interest loan options for associations completing mandated repairs, phased assessment timelines that don't blindside retirees on fixed incomes, and faster access to wind-mitigation credits that lower the cost side of the equation.

No. Hector supports state legislation prohibiting insurance carriers from denying a valid claim or death benefit simply because the loss occurred during a Governor-declared state of emergency, such as a hurricane. Floridians pay some of the highest premiums in the country — a declared emergency shouldn't become a loophole for insurers to walk away from a legitimate claim.

Yes. In a boating- and travel-heavy community like ours, families deserve to know that charter buses, boats, and aircraft are held to the highest safety standard. Hector supports requiring the newest available safety equipment and annual certified inspections for charter passenger transportation operating in Florida, with no exemptions for older vehicles or vessels that haven't been retrofitted.
