What should our priorities be?

Political Priority # 1:

Save the Republic. Checks & Balances.

Power needs limits.

No president—Democrat or Republican—should rule without oversight. Flipping Florida’s Congressional District 15 helps restore balance in Washington and puts Congress back where it belongs: as a check on extreme presidential power.

This isn’t partisan—it’s patriotic.

Democrats, independents, and reasonable Republicans can agree on one thing: no one should govern unchecked.

Save 18% of School Funding.

The U.S. Department of Education could be eliminated.

That puts 18% of local K–12 funding at risk—leading to school closures and tens of thousands of students left behind.

This isn’t about culture wars. It’s about keeping our schools open and our kids educated.

Losing these funds is equivalent to 40 thousand students without education in Hillsborough County, or closing 20 schools in Pasco County. 

Path to Green Card, with a fine.

Secure the border—and fix a broken system. Undocumented migrants with no criminal records should register, pay a fine, and enter a legal path to residency. Order. Fairness. Accountability.

Let’s pass the DIGNIDAD (Dignity) Act of 2025—the most bipartisan and feasible immigration reform on the table.

Undocumented families without criminal records deserve integration pathways to support agriculture, hospitality, and more.

Migrant farmworkers and H-2A visa holders support our local $1.1 billion strawberry industry. Farm labor shortage is a problem. In the USA, the estimation is that 42% of agricultural workers are undocumented. There are about 3,000 restaurants in Hillsborough County, and 1 out of 4 restaurant workers could be undocumented.

Obamacare 2.0. ASAP

A Democrat-led Congress should work with the White House to strengthen health care immediately. Families can’t wait.

There are 122 thousand ACA enrollees from Lakeland to Carrollwood and from Brandon to Zephyrhills—who would suffer without a new Omaha Care.  Cuts to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (Florida KidCare) go against the lives of the elderly, the needy, and children.

We should support improving what is working with the Affordable Care Act and deleting what is not.

Obamacare 2.0 is urgently needed.

Control Artificial intelligence

AI is already replacing entry-level and white-collar jobs. Young workers feel it first. Families feel it next.

Congress must act now to set clear rules that ensure AI serves people—not just corporations.

AI is coming for white-collar jobs. Nearly 48,000 workers in our communities will feel its impact. Last year, 28,000 students graduated in our region, many now facing a tough entry-level job market shaped by AI automation.

AI is the biggest social and economic challenge of our time, yet both parties—Republicans and Democrats—are failing to prepare for it.

Keeping AI under human control should be a top legislative priorities.
