Too many in politics wish away our problems. The truth is Florida is a state desperately in need of improved access to healthcare, investment in public education, homeowners insurance reform, and local policies to create affordable rent.

On any given day, $270m in Florida school choice funding cannot be accounted for.

This Governor cavalierly chased an ideological narrative and abandoned Florida's families and taxpayers.

Time for a new Governor.

Thank you to those who have stepped up and served our country throughout the years.

Sometimes it feels like thank you isn’t enough, but I promise I’ll never play political games with the futures of Florida’s military families or veterans.
