If elected, my mission is to implement a  safer and stronger community, and I will inform, educate, and empower the people of our communities so we can achieve this goal together. Now is the time for change!

NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE

Water Quality Improvement

 We need to improve the water quality of Southwest Florida. Our legislature needs to make sure that the federal government will prioritize the water infrastructure in its budget plan as soon as possible.

 

Opioid Crisis

The opioid and heroin crisis has become a major public health crisis in Southwest Florida. Crime issues and poverty are tied into the opioid problem. Child neglect and abuse, as well as human trafficking have all increased in Southwest Florida due to the opioid crisis.

 

Mental Health Issues

Florida remains the 49th state for funding of mental health programs. Southwest Florida's behavioral health care system is under-funded. Over 800,000 people have serious mental health issues in Florida.

 

Gun Violence

Gun violence is a major issue our community and our country is facing. I feel very passionate about this issue because I am also an alumni of Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and this tragedy has brought great pain and sadness to me as well as our community.

The Economy

The economy is improving, but most Floridians are not sharing in the success.  Our legislature needs to ensure that all Floridians benefit from the economic growth, not just big corporations who can afford to lobby for more and more tax cuts.

 

Healthcare

Healthcare is a right , not a privilege.

I will advocate for affordable and quality healthcare for all. As a physician, I am tired of seeing patients on a daily basis who can not afford diagnostic work up studies to prevent cancers, because they can not afford health insurance. I will also advocate for continuing health care coverage for all those with pre-existing medical conditions. 

 

Education

We must invest in our public schools and teachers. My opponent has voted on bills that defund public schools and put money in privately owned charter schools. As your representative, I will advocate for public school system funding and investing in our teachers.
