Healthcare
CLOSE THE GAPS in Florida's mental health services for the most vulnerable
In 2024, he successfully introduced and garnered unanimous passage of the first major rewrite of the 50 year-old Baker Act for the involuntary treatment of people with mental illnesses, and the 30 year-old Marchman Act for the involuntary treatment of people with drug and alcohol dependence.
Whether modernizing Florida's mental health care system, fighting to keep Florida the most military-friendly state in the nation, or driving commonsense solutions for Florida's families, I charge forward with conservative principles to deliver results for my constituents.
