  • My economic development plan will work to: Curb prices and end the affordability crisis, increase opportunity by creating and attracting good jobs, and incentivize the vast amount of opportunities and resources of our district to organizations and companies to bring jobs to District 40.
  • As a member of the Board of Directors for Pace Center, an alternative education program that is funded through Orange County Public Schools I completely understand the importance of quality education and school choice for our future! I plan to strengthen our public school systems, raise teacher pay to increase morale amongst faculty, and reducing class sizes to aid in the manageability of classrooms.
  • I am a strong believer that hate and its symbols have no place in our district or the State of Florida. There are a number of inquiries in our community and collectively we will tackle them! With your help in Tallahassee I plan to protect our drinking water and environment, lead the fight to protect our voting rights, assist in improving affordable healthcare for ALL. I will also stand on the front line to fight for women's rights and improve accessibility of resources for our veterans.
I am a passionate defender of a woman's right to make her own medical decisions with her doctor's guidance. I am also an advocate for public schools and access to the arts. As a board member of PACE Center for Girls, I support alternative education as long as it does not pull from necessary public school funds. Equity in our schools, healthcare systems, and public utilities will all be priorities when I am elected to serve Florida's House District 40.

Scorecards

Ascorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
