“As a result, I proposed an office of civil rights within the governor's office to look at and to challenge and to litigate voting rights, people's personal rights, their franchise, their suffrage, the economic inequalities that are greater today than the day Martin Luther King gave his I Have a Dream speech.”
Business & Economy
“We need a state catastrophic fund to remove natural disaster perils from the private insurance market, because there's no longer a market to cover hurricanes and natural disasters because we abandoned climate resiliency decades ago. We can drive down homeowners insurance.”
Insurance & Financial Services
A state catastrophic fund that removes natural disaster risk from the private insurance market would dramatically reduce property and car insurance rates, restoring affordability and price stability for millions of Floridians.
Health Care
In the face of cuts from Washington and Tallahassee, Florida should commit to expanding Medicaid and ensuring healthcare for all Floridians.
Firearms
Florida should ban the sale of assault weapons, require universal and comprehensive background checks, explore licensing, and preserve and expand the red flag laws enacted following the tragedy at Parkland.
Reproductive Health
Reproductive healthcare decisions should be made between women and their doctors, not politicians. Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood provided a responsible, balanced framework for protecting these decisions. Absent federal legislation restoring these protections, Florida should codify the Roe/Casey framework.
Education (K-12)
Schools in Florida's private school voucher program need to meet the same high standards as our public schools. Private schools that accept vouchers should be required to provide the same specialized services public schools provide and not charge additional tuition. The voucher program should be means-tested to ensure funding is provided for families with demonstrated economic need.

Tech companies are racing to build data centers that draw as much power as a small city, and they want you to pay for the wiring. When one comes to town, the utility has to build new power plants, transmission lines, and substations, and unless your state says otherwise, that bill gets spread across every household’s rates while the company that caused it negotiates a special deal. Some of these facilities also pull millions of gallons of water a day from the same reservoirs and aquifers that families and farms depend on. The richest companies in the world don’t need a subsidy from your electric bill. Make data centers pay the full cost of the grid and water they use, through the public utility commission and in law, so the companies building them cover the bill instead of families.
Implement Florida Amendment 4 as voters intended in 2018: automatic restoration of voting rights upon completion of sentence. The legislature added court-fee requirements that effectively reinstated a poll tax and locked out hundreds of thousands of Floridians.
No kid learns on an empty stomach, and no kid should be handed a cold cheese sandwich (or a lunch-debt notice) because a parent missed a form. Income-tested school meals leave out families who earn a little too much to qualify and not nearly enough to get by, and the paperwork alone keeps eligible kids from eating. States that feed every student see more kids eating, less stigma in the cafeteria, and an end to lunch-debt bills. Guarantee free breakfast and lunch for every public school student and, where your state already does, fund it permanently so it can’t be quietly cut.
