In their own words

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

1. Fix Florida's homeowners insurance crisis.

Floridians are being crushed by skyrocketing premiums, dropped policies, and insurers fleeing the state. I will make fixing our broken homeowners insurance market my top priority—restoring competition, holding carriers accountable, and making coverage affordable and reliable so families can actually afford to keep their homes.

2. Make Florida the world leader in next-generation nuclear energy. Florida's energy future should be clean, abundant, and cheap. I will position our state at the forefront of the nuclear revolution by championing Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)—and, ultimately, safer, more efficient thorium-powered SMRs. This means energy independence, thousands of high-tech jobs, and lower power bills for every Floridian.

3. Eliminate property taxes on homesteaded properties—100%. You should never have to keep paying the government rent on a home you already own. I will fight to fully abolish property taxes on homesteaded properties, letting Florida families keep more of what they've earned and ensuring no one ever loses their home to a tax bill.

I'm passionate about energy innovation—positioning Florida as the national leader in next-generation nuclear power to deliver cheap, reliable, clean energy.
