Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Immigration enforcement and reform. Chico wants to start holding big corporations accountable for hiring illegal labor, tax foreign remittances, stop sending billions of dollars to non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that fund mass migration, defund sanctuary cities, and reform the visa system to prevent foreign visitors from overstaying their visas.Civil Liberties. To defend our freedoms for all Americans in the Digital Age, Chico will introduce a Digital Bill of Rights. Our Founding Fathers were brilliant, but they could not have envisioned artificial intelligence, biometrics, facial recognition, and modern surveillance. Chico will defend our God-given freedoms and represent the people of Northwest Florida, not big technology companies and big government.Tackling the Affordability Crisis. Reverse the devastating effects of inflation by declaring inflation a national emergency and take bold action to cut government spending and fraud. Establish an energy policy that prioritizes lower gas prices instead of shipping all excess petroleum overseas to maximize profits. Chico believes we can lower food costs and protect family farms at the same time by restoring competition, cutting out middlemen, reducing regulations, and making it easier for local farmers to get their products to market. By defending small family farms and growing more of our food at home, Chico believes we can ensure food security for America.
