KEY ISSUES
1. Provide the top 2 reason why you want to run for office.

1. When elected to serve as Mayor of Tampa, I will deliver results to enhance and elevate Tampa for the benefit of all residents and visitors.
2. I want to decrease the unemployment rate of women, people of color, young people, and all people. I will work with activists, advocates, and community members to lead the nation in rooting out corruption, providing affordable housing, workforce development, economic development, and transparency and accountability.

2. Name the top 2 issues in your county, state, or federal district that you wish to address and how?

1. Our children and grandchildren are our future, and they deserve to grow up with hope and innocence, as I was able to do so long ago. If elected to serve as Tampa's Mayor, unlike the incumbent Mayor, I will not allow the continued exploitation of our children because there is too much at stake. As a mom, lawyer, and citizen, I have always been committed to fighting for the future of America by unifying, educating, and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all levels of government, and I will continue that commitment if elected to serve as Mayor of Tampa. I am committed to affirming parental rights, expanding school choice, banning Critical Race theory in the classroom, and protecting children from radical ideological indoctrination. I stand for God, our children, and for truth, freedom, and the Constitution.
2. I will create a collaborative environment to launch impactful and enduring local companies to enhance economic development in Tampa by creating and introducing innovation bonds to the public. The funds raised through the innovation bonds will be used to provide investment funds to Tampa's entrepreneurs and small businesses to help them grow their businesses. I will make innovative business income generation one of my administration's top priorities to enhance, elevate, and brighten all Tampa communities.

3. Do you support defunding the police?

No, I do not support defunding the police. I will enhance safety by supporting the police and ensuring they have the necessary training, equipment, and incentives.

4. What are your thoughts on “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”? Should this be implemented as training for county/city/federal employees? Why or why not?

No, there is no need to waste taxpayers' money on such training. The employees must follow the laws currently in force, so there will be no need for additional "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" training.

5. With growing pressure to accommodate various lifestyles/identities how would you manage to keep your city/town safe and family friendly?

Unless the Tampa residents decide otherwise, as Mayor, I will continue to legally recognize two genders, male and female with respect to all matters concerning city government. Any violations of the law will be met with the required consequences.

6. Do you think involving residents in decision making in your city/town is important? Why or not?

Yes, as the people's choice for Mayor of Tampa, I will maintain an open-door policy, and I will operate a transparent and accountable administration,.

7. If you received a $1 million grant to use for the city/town/county any way you wanted, what would you do with it and why?

I would use it to provide funds to entrepreneurs and business owners in need of start-up funds or funds to grow their businesses because small businesses and entrepreneurs are the lifeblood of the community.

8. What is your opinion on sanctuary cities/autonomous zones within your city/town?

I do not support sanctuary cities/autonomous zones. If the people decide that they want to implement such policies within Tampa, and if an ordinance is passed by council, as Mayor, I will take it under advisement before deciding whether to veto it.

9. What are your thoughts on mandating the closure of privately owned businesses due to public health concerns aside from code violations?

My opponent violated Florida law when she imposed a Covid-19 mandate on all city of Tampa employees. I will follow Florida laws on vaccine mandates and health safety. I will protect Tampanians' privacy, informed consent, due process, equal protection, Fourth Amendment, ADA, and other health rights.

10. Who is the ultimate authority over the health and safety of the people in your city/town?

The Mayor is the ultimate authority, and the Department of Health is responsible for the day-to-day implementation.

11. Are you endorsed by other organizations? If so, which ones?

I have just started the endorsement process, so I am waiting on the responses from several organizations.
