My commitment to public service began during my honorable military service, where I developed the leadership, discipline, and integrity that guides me today. I studied Business Administration in Puerto Rico and have remained active in community efforts focused on strengthening families, supporting economic growth, and improving public safety.

I am running because I believe citizens deserve a transparent, accountable government that delivers results. I am focused on lowering the cost of living, addressing Florida’s property insurance challenges, supporting law enforcement and first responders, protecting constitutional freedoms, and creating opportunities for small businesses and workers.

As a veteran, I believe in service before self and is committed to being an accessible representative who listens to the people of District 46.
