Florida Development & Growth

Lobbying & Foreign Influence

Florida Development & Growth

Florida’s growth must slow down until infrastructure and hurricane resilience catch up.


Florida’s explosive growth has outpaced our infrastructure, water supply, and hurricane resilience.


I support a 24–36 month pause on large-scale development approvals so communities can assess hurricane resilience, infrastructure capacity, and environmental impacts.'=


When new development is approved, 10–25% of housing should be designated as affordable so working families can continue to live in the communities they serve.


Growth should strengthen Florida communities, not price them out of their own neighborhoods.

AI Data Centers

Lobbying & Foreign Influence

Florida Development & Growth

AI data centers consume massive amounts of electricity and water, often straining local resources.


AI data centers require massive amounts of water to cool their servers, sometimes using millions of gallons per day. 


I do not support building facilities that drain local water supplies or strain our aquifers.


Florida must protect its water resources before approving projects that could threaten them.

Lobbying & Foreign Influence

Lobbying & Foreign Influence

Lobbying & Foreign Influence

Government should answer to the people, not corporations or foreign interests. 


I support ending foreign lobbying and reducing the influence of lobbying that allows powerful interests to shape policy behind closed doors.


America’s laws should reflect the will of its citizens, not the money of special interests.

Florida Property Insurance Crisis 🌳

Climate, Hurricanes, & Coastal Protections 🌊

Climate, Hurricanes, & Coastal Protections 🌊

Florida families are being crushed by property insurance premiums. 


Some homeowners are paying more for insurance than their mortgage. 


I support stronger oversight of insurance companies, anti-fraud measures, and policies that stabilize the market so working families can afford to stay in their homes.

Climate, Hurricanes, & Coastal Protections 🌊

Climate, Hurricanes, & Coastal Protections 🌊

Climate, Hurricanes, & Coastal Protections 🌊

Living in Florida means preparing for stronger storms and rising costs from natural disasters. 


I support investing in resilient infrastructure, protecting our coasts and waterways, and strengthening disaster preparedness so our communities can withstand future hurricanes.

Social Security & Retirement πŸ’°

Climate, Hurricanes, & Coastal Protections 🌊

Social Security & Retirement πŸ’°

Social Security is not a handout. It is a promise Americans paid into through decades of work. 


I will oppose any effort to cut or privatize Social Security benefits.


We must protect retirement security for seniors while ensuring the system remains strong for future generations.

Healthcare & Medicare πŸ₯

Housing & Affordability 🏑

Social Security & Retirement πŸ’°

Healthcare should not bankrupt families or force seniors to choose between medicine and groceries.


 I support policies that lower healthcare costs, increase price transparency, and strengthen Medicare so Americans can access the care they need.


A healthy country starts with people who can actually afford to see a doctor.

Housing & Affordability 🏑

Housing & Affordability 🏑

Housing & Affordability 🏑

Housing costs have exploded across Florida, pushing many families and seniors out of the communities they built their lives in. 


I support policies that increase housing supply, protect homeowners and renters from predatory practices, and make it possible for working families to afford a home again.


No one should be priced out of their own hometown.

Abortion

Housing & Affordability 🏑

Housing & Affordability 🏑

This issue is deeply personal and complex. I believe government should approach it with humility and compassion. My focus is reducing unwanted pregnancies through better healthcare access, maternal support, and economic stability for families while respecting the difficult moral questions involved. I am pro-choice.

Immigration & ICE πŸš“

War in Gaza / Palestine

War in Gaza / Palestine

America deserves both secure borders and respect for the rule of law. 


Enforcement should focus on targeted intelligence to identify violent criminals, traffickers, and predators.


People who commit serious crimes should face deportation through proper legal processes. 


We should not see people taken off the streets by unidentified agents or denied due process. 


Enforcement must remain lawful, transparent, and accountable.

War in Gaza / Palestine

War in Gaza / Palestine

War in Gaza / Palestine

I believe both Israelis and Palestinians deserve safety, dignity, and the chance to live without war. 


I support their right to self-determination and believe they should not face further occupation or displacement.


I support humanitarian aid to help civilians rebuild their communities and believe lasting peace must prioritize human rights and safety for the people living in the region.

Gun Rights

War in Gaza / Palestine

Transgender Rights

As a Marine Corps combat veteran, I respect the Second Amendment and responsible gun ownership. 


At the same time, communities deserve safety.


 I support practical measures that keep weapons out of the hands of violent offenders while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens.

Transgender Rights

Government Transparency βš–οΈ

Transgender Rights

Every American deserves dignity and protection from harassment or violence.


When it comes to minors, I do not support medical transition for youth under 18. Young people experiencing gender dysphoria should have access to extensive mental health support and counseling, as they face higher risks of depression and suicide.


In sports, fairness matters. I support exploring solutions such as separate transgender divisions so participation remains inclusive while protecting fair competition.

Government Transparency βš–οΈ

Government Transparency βš–οΈ

Government Transparency βš–οΈ

Americans across the political spectrum feel that the government serves powerful interests instead of everyday citizens. 

I support stronger transparency laws, anti-corruption measures, and limits on lobbying influence so government works for the people again.

Marijuana Legalization 🌿

Government Transparency βš–οΈ

Government Transparency βš–οΈ

Many Americans believe marijuana policy should evolve beyond outdated criminal penalties. 


I support responsible reforms that focus on public health, sensible regulation, and reducing unnecessary incarceration while allowing states to set policies that reflect their communities.

Hi there, it's me, Stephanie πŸ‘‹

I know some of the issues on this page can bring up strong emotions. They trigger a lot of people. 


Politics today has a way of dividing friends, families, and communities, and I never want that to be the outcome of honest conversation.


Some of these topics may be make-or-break issues for you when choosing who to vote for. 


I understand that. 


All I ask is that you zoom out and look at the bigger picture of who I am, what I stand for, and the kind of leadership I’m trying to bring.


You may not agree with me on everything, and that’s okay. 


I respect people with different beliefs and perspectives.


In a healthy democracy we should be able to disagree, have conversations, and still treat each other with dignity.


Where I draw the line is harm.


 I will always stand firmly against policies or actions that hurt people, especially children.


I don’t expect everyone to agree with me on every issue.


My goal is honesty, transparency, and leadership that listens to the people of this district.


Thank you for taking the time to read where I stand.


Our country is strongest when we can disagree, debate, and still treat each other with dignity.
