Improving Teacher Pay/Education -Florida can afford first rate public schools. The reason we don’t have them is because we too often refuse to invest in keeping first-rate teachers, counselors and educators.

Our future depends on a talented workforce. All high school graduates should be able to go to college/technical school, get a good paying job or join the military. Our teachers deserve a salary that reflects the hard work they put into educating our childrenLowering Insurance Rates -Car insurance rates in Florida have experienced significant increases in recent years Currently Florida has the 4th highest car insurance rates in the U.S.. And ur homeowners insurance is through the roof with no signs of coming down. Enough is enoughCare For Our Veterans - Every night, thousands of our veterans who served our country sleep on the streets of Florida. As a veteran, I find this unacceptable. No one who wore our nations uniform should ever be allowed to fall through cracks of our system
