In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Above all, I want to restore trust between the people and their representative. If elected, I will measure every decision by a simple question: Does it improve the lives of the people I was elected to serve? If the answer is no, then it's time to find a better solution.”
“I will fight to ban members of Congress from trading individual stocks because public service should never be used for personal financial gain. Government works best when the public has confidence that its leaders are acting in the public's interest.”
“The issues I hear about most often are affordability, health care and economic security. I support expanding access to clean energy to help reduce utility costs, protecting Social Security, increasing teacher pay and ensuring every child has access to nutritious school meals. I also believe health care is a right, which is why I support Medicare for All.”
“I'm running for Congress because I believe the people of Florida's 15th District deserve a representative who listens to them first. Too often, elected officials become more focused on political parties, special interests or Washington politics than on the families they were sent there to serve. My commitment is simple: I will work for the people.”
