His broader quality-of-life priorities also include addressing animal abandonment, strengthening right-to-repair protections, addressing theft of services, and restoring vaccine requirements for schools while limiting exemptions.
Don supports reforming Florida's no-fault insurance system and strengthening protections for policyholders. When legitimate claims are delayed, he believes payments should date back to the original incident with interest and that insurers should face consequences for bad-faith negotiations and unnecessary delays.
Don believes Florida needs to take a more realistic approach to homelessness, including recognizing the role that serious mental illness can play and considering shelters and supportive or transitional housing for people who cannot live independently.
