Last night, Republicans were dealt two humiliating losses in districts they had won handily in 2024, including President Trump's own district in Palm Beach County. Both Republican candidates ran campaigns completely out of touch with reality. They touted the GOP establishment lie that we are living in a "Golden Age."
We are not.
Gas prices are up $1 in just the past month. Biden-era inflation has not been reversed despite promises to the contrary. Recent college grads struggle to find jobs, and those with jobs struggle to buy homes as private equity parasites like Blackstone continue buying up and hoarding single-family homes across Florida. We are not living in a Golden Age.
Unlike last night's candidates, our campaign will never deny the affordability crisis crushing Florida families.
Instead...
*We'll fight to bring down sky-high property, auto, and health insurance premiums.
*We'll end the H-1B scam so qualified Floridians don't have to compete with unqualified foreign labor for great-paying jobs.
*We'll ban private equity from buying up homes so families can buy one and write the next chapter of their lives.
*We'll make a generational investment in our public schools, raise standards, raise teacher pay, fire the self-important bureaucrats, bring parents back into the classroom, and for the parents who don't think our public schools are the best fit for their child, we'll make sure they get *every single dollar* that would have been spent on their child at public school to support their ability to educate their child elsewhere.
*We won't merely oppose "defund the police." We'll fully fund our police so we can end the senseless violence that takes too many lives in communities like Miami Gardens, Liberty City, and Belle Glade because ALL LIVES MATTER.
*We'll stand with expecting moms throughout Florida by investing in a statewide network of pregnancy resource centers, ensuring they and their child have access to pre-natal and postpartum care, alleviating the cost of childbirth for low-income moms, and delivering paid maternity leave for every working mom in Florida.
*And we'll eliminate property taxes once and for all and deliver the largest tax cut in Florida history. Because you own your home, you don't rent it from the government, and you know how to spend your money better than a flamboyant bureaucrat on the county commission.
The people of Florida are smart: they will not blindly vote on party loyalty alone. The right wing and left wing are both wings attached to the same corrupt, uni-party bird. The Republicans and Democrats I know want candidates who will fight for a state we can all afford.
That's why I'm running for Governor.
