1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected?

I am driven by my experiences as an Air Force veteran, mother, small business owner, grassroots leader, and a true conservative outsider. My motivation to run for office stems from a deep commitment to serve the community that has been a significant part of my life.

My platform is rooted in fundamental conservative values and practical solutions. I strongly advocate for school choice and parental rights, believing that parents should have a decisive role in their children's education. Furthermore, reducing government regulation and lowering taxes are key to fostering a thriving business environment and creating more job opportunities.

As a staunch supporter of the Second Amendment, I am dedicated to protecting the rights of responsible gun owners. Tackling illegal immigration is also a priority, ensuring that our communities remain safe and that our laws are respected.

Healthcare is a critical concern, and I am committed to making it more accessible and affordable for everyone. My approach emphasizes the need for a healthcare system that is responsive to the needs of individuals and families, without excessive government interference.

Law and order are paramount. I stand unwaveringly with our policemen, firemen, and all first responders who put their lives on the line every day to ensure our safety. Their dedication and sacrifice must be acknowledged and supported at every level.

As an advocate for seniors and veterans, I understand the unique challenges they face. I am dedicated to ensuring they receive the respect, care, and support they deserve. Our seniors and veterans have contributed immensely to our society, and it's our duty to give back to them.

In summary, my candidacy is about bringing positive, conservative change to our district, ensuring that the values of freedom, responsibility, and community are upheld. My diverse background and commitment to these principles are what drive me to serve the people of Florida with integrity and dedication.

2. Please identify the top three critical issues facing your state, and how do you envision solving them to benefit the communities in your state?

Homeowners Insurance Crisis: Florida is facing a significant challenge with its homeowners insurance market. The increasing frequency of natural disasters, like hurricanes, combined with issues like litigation and fraud, have led to higher insurance premiums and companies leaving the market. As a state representative, I would work towards reforming insurance regulations to create a more competitive and stable market. This could involve addressing issues like assignment of benefits (AOB) abuse, improving the claims process, and encouraging more insurance companies to offer services in Florida.

Environmental Concerns and Climate Change: Florida's unique ecosystem and its susceptibility to climate change effects, like rising sea levels and increased hurricane activity, make environmental protection a top priority. As a constitutional conservative, I would advocate for balanced approaches that protect the environment while also considering economic impacts. This might include supporting sustainable development, investing in infrastructure to combat climate change effects, and promoting responsible stewardship of natural resources.

Economic Growth and Job Creation: While Florida's economy is robust, there are always opportunities for improvement, especially in diversifying the economic base and creating high-paying jobs. As a state representative, I would focus on policies that encourage economic growth without over-regulation. This includes supporting small businesses, fostering a skilled workforce through education and training programs, and creating a tax and regulatory environment that attracts new industries and investments.
