I am running for Florida State House Representative in District 98 because I have lived in South Florida all my life and served its citizens, and our country admirably through my many years of military service. As a proud citizen of District 98, I want to keep this area a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
I have the experience in finance, community service and organizational planning necessary to be an effective Representative of District 98. I will work hard and make sure your voice is heard.
This will be done by focusing on Education, Quality Affordable Housing, Veterans Rights and the rights of women, children, and minorities. I am a strong advocate for an increase in funding to develop and preserve affordable housing units, expanding housing vouchers and addressing the unique needs of veterans by concentrating on healthcare, employment, homelessness, and streamlined disability benefits. I am committed to women's rights and will strongly advocate for equal access to reproductive healthcare. Yes, I believe the children are our future. As the District 98 Representative I pledge to always advocate for the excellent educational opportunities that our students deserve.
