Thinking for yourself matters

Position on major issues

Artificial intelligence

Overdevelopment is an issue here in Florida. We must maintain our communities while expanding in ways residents actually want. No AI data centers paid for by Floridians. We need to expand public transportation to reduce traffic and provide an alternative to the expensive auto insurance industry.

Economy, jobs and wages

Cost of living has skyrocketed and continues to rise. We need to change fundamentals rather than only addressing the symptoms. The interest of working class Americans must be prioritized over those of foreign nations or corporate capital.

Education

We have shifted our focus to develop Charter and other 3rd party school systems over public education. I believe in parent choice, the problem stems from where that choice funding comes from. Funding for public education should not be diverted to these programs. Teachers need to be supported and valued.

We must take steps to ensure our children are not harmed while attending school.

Elections and voting

I will advocate for open primaries to allow all voters to participate in the election process. In Pasco County, there are more registered independents than Democrats. That means there’s a significant portion of eligible voters unable to participate in FL primaries.

Government reform

All political offices need strict term limits. I believe 8 years is sufficient for the House. Someone serving a decade long appointment will lose touch as they are not living in the conditions in which they create.

We should continue to engage, build, and platform the next generation of thinkers. Congress needs to be uncapped to meet the growing population and create equal representation. We have had 435 Representatives for the last 100 years.

Campaign Finance law needs to be reworked to prevent unlimited corporate spending, and create clear transparency & accountability.

Technology and privacy

Your data should be protected and required to be accessed by the government with the use of a warrant. They should not be able to buy your consumer data on the market to create their own lists and data.
