Environment / Energy Preserving our springs, aquifer, and rivers is not just crucial for Florida's agriculture and eco-tourism but also a fundamental step towards ensuring a clean and sustainable drinking water supply. I firmly believe that investing in the protection and conservation of these natural resources is an important responsibility we all share. By doing so, we can not only safeguard our environment and ecosystems but also protect the well-being of current and future generations. Let us come together with unwavering dedication and passion to champion this cause for a better Florida. Education I believe that our children should have the right to the best education suited to their needs. Education To eliminate sexually explicit content from our classrooms and libraries, material that seeks to indoctrinate our children into deviant behaviors. Protecting our children and promoting a nurturing environment is paramount to their well-being and future success. Education I am a passionate advocate for school choice, wholeheartedly advocating for the best classroom experience tailored to the unique needs of every child. I firmly believe that empowering families with the freedom to choose their child's education leads to greater educational outcomes, fosters a sense of belonging, and ultimately helps shape a brighter future for our children. Every child deserves an opportunity to thrive and succeed, and I am committed to championing their right to quality education through school choice. Economy I believe we can establish economic opportunity while preserving the charm and character that makes our district unique. Economy I believe that taxes and unnecessary regulation are job-killing barriers to economic opportunity. Infrastructure / Transportation I believe we must continue to improve our infrastructure – roads, bridges, and above all, access to clean drinking water. Guns I am a firm believer that our 2nd Amendment was enshrined in the Constitution to safeguard and guarantee all our other rights. Permitless carry, no fees for concealed weapons permits, and the Stand Your Ground/Castle Doctrine laws are crucial in preserving our freedom to self-defense. I wholeheartedly support and advocate for these measures, as they empower individuals to protect themselves and their loved ones. Let us cherish and protect these rights that we hold dear, for they are the bedrock of our liberty and security. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I believe that the top priority of government is public safety and that we need to make sure our brave law enforcement officers have the resources they need. Civil Rights I am passionate about safeguarding girls' sports from individuals misrepresenting their gender. I firmly oppose any form of surgeries or gender-affirming care for minors. Government Reform I will make decisions based on my view that our godly heritage and constitutional rights have been the foundation for America’s greatness. I believe in the strength of our families and the quality of life afforded to those families by our rural communities.

Abortion / Contraception I am a strong advocate for the sanctity of life and firmly believe that it is our responsibility to safeguard existing laws that protect the unborn. We must stand against any attempts to alter our state constitution, particularly with provisions that would allow unrestricted access to abortion. It is imperative that we unite in our dedication to cherishing and defending every precious life, ensuring a future where the right to life is valued and protected for all.
