We must ensure that the unique needs of Veterans are addressed through research and services specifically addressing Veterans’ unique needs. We must ensure that we have pro-active programs available to all Veterans including mental health programs to reduce the veteran suicide rate.

Access to childcare, quality education, healthcare and affordable housing is necessary to promote economic independence for so many who have been left behind. Investing in people’s ability to work and take advantage of the opportunities our economy provides will reduce the need for social welfare programs and create self-sufficient tax paying citizens. The United States has the strongest economy in the world; we need to ensure it works for all of us. Learn more
We must continue the transition to clean, renewable energy and away from fossil fuels. We must not let private companies lease land to drill for oil in the Everglades or any waterway that connects to our Indian River Lagoon or off our beautiful coast. An oil spill in any of our waters is an unthinkable catastrophe. Learn more

I support passing the Secure 2100 Act which would help to ensure the solvency of the Social Security Trust Fund for years to come, without added burdens to hard working tax payers. Learn more
I recognize that corporate tax rates need to be competitive for job growth and economic success of our businesses; but when year over year record profits indicate that companies can afford to pay their fair share but aren’t, there’s a problem. I will work to make the tax codes less taxing on working families. Learn more
