With Florida’s property values climbing at a record pace, our property taxes in many communities are beginning to hurt working families. Jay will look for solutions to limit their increases, perhaps pegging them to an index to keep them reasonable for every homeowner. Jay also fought to finally eliminate sales taxes on commercial leases and was proud to vote yes on Bill 7031, which was signed by Governor DeSantis in 2025.
