Constitutional Guardrails & Honest Government
This race is about whether any president should wield unlimited, unaccountable power. I’ll restore checks and balances and put people back at the center of government.
Details & actions
- Rule of law & oversight: Routine hearings, real subpoenas, and protected inspectors general.
- Emergency powers sanity: Time-limited presidential “emergencies” unless Congress votes to extend.
- Money in politics: Build a coalition to curb billionaire/dark-money influence and make that cash toxic in our district.
- Fair elections: Keep voting secure and accessible; oppose election subversion.
- Straight talk: District briefings and written explanations for tough votes.
Working Families & Cost of Living
People are squeezed by housing, insurance, healthcare, and groceries. I focus on outcomes, not cable-news food fights.
Details & actions
- Property insurance crisis: Federal resilience dollars tied to hardening homes/infrastructure, with premium relief for mitigation.
- Housing supply: Speed up attainable housing near jobs and campuses; cut red tape that inflates costs.
- Protect seniors & vets: Defend Social Security/Medicare; improve VA access.
- Local economies: Support state workers, university communities, farmers, fisheries, port/logistics, and the skilled trades.
Infrastructure, Safety & Resilience (including FAA)
From hurricanes to near-misses in our skies, we can fix problems by funding what works.
Details & actions
- Insurance & storms: Invest in coastal and grid resilience; tie upgrades to affordability.
- FAA safety: Expand air-traffic-controller training capacity (add regional academies), keep pay competitive, and modernize comms/radar backbones.
- “Money’s the only problem”: Stop hollowing out agencies; fund proven fixes and the talent to run them.
Military, Veterans, & Defense Jobs
Tyndall AFB and defense spending are pillars of Bay County’s economy. I’ll be a dependable partner.
Details & actions
- Protect Tyndall & suppliers: Budgets and oversight that keep missions strong and local contractors working.
- Veterans’ services: Defend benefits and reduce delays; expand community-based care where appropriate.
Rural Opportunity: Jobs, Healthcare, Broadband
Gadsden, Jackson, and our rural counties deserve real investment—small farms, clinics, and reliable internet are economic basics.
Details & actions
- Small farms & jobs: Use the Farm Bill and recruitment to diversify jobs while backing local agriculture.
- Healthcare access: Keep rural clinics open and affordable; cut red tape that forces long drives for basic care.
- Broadband everywhere: Treat internet like essential infrastructure—finish last-mile build-out for students and small business.
Environment & Natural Resources
Our identity and economy are tied to the Gulf, the Bay, our springs, forests, and rivers. Protect them or lose what makes this home.
Details & actions
- Apalachicola Bay: Prioritize recovery and fair water-management policies—existential for Franklin County.
- Springs & coast: Science-based conservation and resilience that keep fishing, eco-tourism, and property values strong.
- Hurricane recovery: Smarter rebuilding standards and funding aligned to risk.
Education & Universities
Stop arguing about bureaucracies; start fixing schools and supporting FSU/FAMU so students, parents, and teachers succeed.
Details & actions
- Outcomes, not theater: Bipartisan policies that measurably improve classrooms and campus freedom.
- Leon County reality: State policy and university funding choices hit our local economy—Congress must be a strong partner.
Technology & AI Future
I’ve built AI tools and run an AI research team. America can harness innovation without automating people into poverty or creating a privacy-free surveillance mess.
Details & actions
- Transition protections: Worker assistance that matches permanent job loss from automation, not just brief unemployment.
- Automation accountability: Pair productivity gains with price relief; explore targeted levies when firms replace people at scale and pocket the margin.
- Time dividends: Encourage pilots for shorter workweeks/earlier retirement where automation raises output.
- Data rights & security: Stop mass data vacuuming; strong privacy rules, audits, and penalties.
- AI abuse penalties: Elevate sentences for crimes using deepfakes/synthetic identity fraud.
Emerging Issues (FAA, Redistricting, Crypto, Current Events)
A flexible bucket for fast-moving topics—you deserve straight answers and practical fixes, not culture-war chaos.
Details & actions
- FAA: Fund regional ATC academies, expand class slots, modernize equipment so controllers aren’t flying blind if a link fails.
- Redistricting: Oppose partisan map-rigging; support transparent, voter-first processes.
- Crypto & financial abuse: Clear rules, licensing, and anti-fraud enforcement—no special breaks for self-dealing “house + casino” schemes.
- Rapid briefings: When national rulings or agency changes hit home (state workers, military, retirees, students), I’ll explain what changed and what Congress can do.
