Thinking for yourself matters

Position on major issues

Economy, jobs and wages

Insurance Reform and Consumer Protection: His top platform priority is comprehensive insurance market reform. He argues that skyrocketing property and auto insurance premiums constitute a systemic affordability crisis and demands that state-backed reinsurance or stabilization funds given to insurance corporations be legally tied to measurable rate relief for consumer families.

Government reform

Bipartisan Affordability and Transparency: Grounded in political reality, Salazar explicitly emphasizes pursuing "realistic Democratic solutions that can pass". Acknowledging the Republican supermajority in Tallahassee, his platform focuses on building bipartisan coalitions around consumer fraud prevention, corporate transparency, and expanding economic opportunities for working-class Floridians.

Healthcare

Florida Politics, Salazar is a strong advocate for public school investment and health resource equity. His platform focuses on strengthening public education funding, defending reproductive freedom, and expanding baseline healthcare access—particularly for LGBTQ+ communities, veterans, and military families.

Housing

Florida’s insurance crisis is not just about hurricanes. It is a systemic affordability crisis that affects everyone. Premiums are rising due to market concentration, weak consumer protections, lack of transparency, fraud, and reinsurance costs passed directly to families.

Taxes and government spending

Using Public Funds with Public Accountability. Florida has set aside billions in state backed insurance stabilization and reinsurance funds. Yet homeowners continue to see rate increases with little relief.

Florida families are being crushed by rising home and auto insurance costs. Billions in public funds have been used to stabilize the market, yet premiums keep climbing and companies keep leaving. It is time for a balanced approach for real reform. That means public money delivers public benefit, markets function fairly, and families can afford to live and drive in Florida again.
