In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I grew up right here in South Florida, in Miami Gardens. I know what families here are up against, because I have lived it. Rent that eats half a paycheck. Healthcare people cannot afford. A commute that swallows the day. I am running to change that. Not with promises, but with work.”
“It's definitely affordability.”
“We have plans to try to lower the age to entrance into Medicare and raise the income limits to Medicaid because you shouldn't be priced out of health coverage just because you get a job.”
