At this point, everyone’s top priority must be securing the border. With a flood of illegal aliens coming across day after day, we are losing control of our nation, and every community is affected. Chinese fentanyl and human trafficking are in every town in our state. We need a federal, state, and local response. In Florida, every beach and port town is a potential vulnerability that could be exploited. I will fight to establish a secure border and a return to rule of law.

Joe Biden has run our economy into the ground. Using a perpetual sense of emergency as his excuse, he continues to hand out easy money to people who aren’t working or contributing to our national productivity. Florida has led the way on maintaining freedom, and we are seeing the fruit. We have a strong economy and we are the envy of the other 49 states.

Florida, under the leadership of Gov. Ron DeSantis, has created the top destination in the country, and we are seeing an influx of new residents coming to our state every day. We must continue to encourage this robust and free economy while also protecting our quality of life. Manatee County is the most special section of Florida, with a strong coastal legacy and beautiful inland neighborhoods and green spaces. We must be careful and grow responsibly, or we will spoil what has made this place so wonderful.

I was proud and privileged to have Governor DeSantis's endorsement for my school board election. A well-educated population is necessary to continue the progress Florida has made. We must strive for an education that trains our students heads, hands, and hearts to be productive and patriotic citizens. As a member of the Florida State House, I will continue to stand with Governor DeSantis as he fights for parental rights, expanded school choice, and dispensing with the radical ideologies that are trying to infiltrate our society.
