Thinking for yourself matters

Position on major issues

Economy, jobs and wages

The Office of the CFO is made up of several specialized offices, including Worker’s Compensation, Fire Safety, Insurance Claim Assistance, Financial Literacy, Fraud Tracking and Reporting, and more. Annette Taddeo will make sure that the Office of the CFO is putting Floridians first, protecting consumers, and is responsive, helpful, and timely when it comes to all requests.

Holding "Big Insurance" Accountable: Pitching property insurance rate relief as her top consumer priority, Taddeo promises an aggressive oversight approach to the industry. She explicitly vows to investigate and crack down on insurance companies that report net losses to state regulators while quietly routing millions in secret profits to affiliate companies. She argues for prioritizing insurance premium relief over broad property tax cuts.

Elections and voting

Floridians deserve to know how and where our tax dollars are being spent. They deserve to know who we award contracts to for public projects. They deserve transparency from the Office of the CFO, and Annette Taddeo will make sure that happens.

Government reform

Florida’s families are being robbed in plain sight. Insurance companies are raking in profits while homeowners can’t afford to stay in their homes. Tallahassee insiders are protecting themselves and their donors instead of the people who elected them.

The state needs an independent watchdog — not a political appointee who answers to the governor. Annette has paid Florida’s skyrocketing insurance premiums herself. Annette knows what Florida families are up against. She’s lived it. And as CFO, she will hold the corrupt accountable — starting on day one.

Housing

Right now, Florida’s families are getting crushed by property insurance rates and high costs. But instead of doing anything about it, politicians in Tallahassee are turning a blind eye. As CFO, Annette Taddeo will do what should have been happening all along: hold the Big Insurance companies accountable and lower costs for working families.

Taxes and government spending

Floridians have watched corruption run rampant in Tallahassee for too long: no-bid contracts going to big donors. Millions spent on political stunts with no oversight. Scandals involving our tax dollars swept under the rug. As CFO, Annette Taddeo will put Floridians, not special interests, first. She’ll audit politicians’ spending and demand answers on behalf of taxpayers.

Public Contract Transparency: She advocates for full public transparency by demanding that all state spending contracts be accurately logged. She promises to strictly enforce public access to the state's F.A.C.T.S. (Florida Accountability Contract Tracking System) database, alleging that hundreds of millions in state-level expenditures are currently hidden or unlisted.

Technology and privacy

Technological Safeguards: On the modernization of the state's financial systems, her platform mandates implementing AI safeguards. She opposes letting automation unilaterally dictate state financial actions, requiring instead that strict human review remain attached to all public sector tech algorithms.
