Governor

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Servant Leader - I am running to flourish Florida Families. This state must remain a place where anyone can build a family, business, and home and know their hard work and investment will be established for generations. Florida is the Free State, and we must preserve that title. Thus, I commit to reclaiming parental rights, restoring medical freedom, reforming the courts, relieving working families, and reserving our lands.

As a wife, mother of three, business owner, former private school board member, 20+ year litigator, homeowner, and advocate for individuals harmed by the medical system, I know from experience what works and what is systemically threatening the well-being, safety, and financial health of Florida's citizens. I bring that direct knowledge to governance with the wisdom of years of evidence analysis, in contrast to politicians with theoretical views making policy whose consequences they will not experience.

I am the paternal descendant of generations of Americans who forged a life in faith and family, and I am also a first-generation American whose mother fled Cuba's communist oppression to seek liberty in this great nation. I treasure what this nation has given to me and my family, and I know personally what it takes to preserve that liberty for the People of Florida.

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?

Reclaim Parental Rights - God is the Source of parental rights and responsibilities. Therefore, the State must work with parents, not against them, in the nurture, education and upbringing of Florida's children. State agency funding based upon the separation of children from their birth parents must be prohibited.Restore Medical Freedom - Medical providers and institutions have forgotten the Hippocratic Oath part to "do no harm" and that all individuals are endowed by their Creator - not the State - with inalienable right to life and liberty. The medical system must be held to account for the abuses of the Covid era, their profit from harm and death caused to patients; and transparency and reform must be enforced to end and prevent further fraud, lack of informed consent, and coercion now systemically prevailing within the medical systems of Florida.Reform the Courts - The courts have a moral covenant with the People to protect individual rights in accordance with the US Constitution and Florida's constitution. Courts must not shield bad actors nor oppress the vulnerable through manipulation of procedure or abdication of their duty to decide the difficult, politically controversial, or personally consequential cases. There must be more transparency and accountability on each judge and each clerk within the system.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Without protected free speech, right to life, and right to personal means to defend ourselves pursuant to the second amendment, all the other rights cannot be guaranteed. The citizens must be free from state micromanagement, unlawful overreach, and regulatory harassment, including the use of imminent domain and protective sovereign immunity, that consumes rather than grows small businesses, coerces medical treatment, and shields bad public actors. Quasi-public private entities which control critical resources must be transparent and accountable to the public.
