ISSUES I’M RUNNING ON
Why am I running for Congress?
Because this district is in need of a strong leader who will not back down to the radical left. The current incumbent and my primary opponents offer nothing but silly platitudes and empty promises. We have very serious, life-threatening issues and massive poverty right here in our district and yet, not one person running for this office can even articulate one of them in any serious fashion. That includes the incumbent who has held this seat for over a decade, and what has changed? Nothing. Why do we continue to settle for this? I am a strong woman and I am ready to lead by representing the people. I will be the new voice for you and I will actually fight for you. That is my promise. Most politicians get elected and then they forget about why they are there. They are there to represent you and not their agendas. I will not let you down.
Border Security and Immigration – Over and over again, we hear Democrats claim that our immigration system is broken, which is a lie. The reality is that if we followed existing laws AND built the border wall, we would finally be able to start to get things under control. Under President Biden (as of this writing) over SEVEN MILLION unvetted illegal aliens entered our country and now they are a burden on ALL our systems – health, education, criminal justice, etc. Sadly, and inexplicably, the incumbent has repeatedly voted in favor of open-border policies and taxpayer-paid handouts for illegal aliens. The incumbent also voted against the Laken Riley act (HR-7511). The Laken Riley Act requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to arrest undocumented immigrants who commit specific offenses such as theft, burglary, larceny, or shoplifting. The individuals would be detained and then deported from the United States.
Let’s not forget the amount of fentanyl that is coming into our country across the border. Fentanyl overdoses are the cause of approximately 300 lives per day! That’s just crazy.
The Economy And Inflation -Bidenomics continues to hurt the country as inflation continues to climb. INFLATION has risen every month since President Biden was sworn into office. Everyone is feeling the pinch, especially those households with lower incomes, who say they are living from paycheck to paycheck and are falling behind.
As of March 2024:
* Less than 50% of Americans can afford to buy diapers
* 1 in 6 families cannot afford their utility bills
* 60% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck
* Most Americans cannot afford to buy a home. Mortgages have doubled under the Bidenomics.
Furthermore, the price increases have been felt across the board, on gas, cars, groceries, and energy costs to homes. If you are spending money, you are paying a higher price for almost everything you buy. Bidenomics does not work! The US National Debt began the year at $34 trillion and surged to $34.47 trillion by the end of February, piling on $470 billion in merely two months. With the debt continually compounding, it’s on a trajectory to swell by $1 trillion, roughly every 100 days. At this rate of borrowing, the National Debt is projected to balloon by $2.8 trillion over the course of this year. With Federal Debt spirally out of control, what lies ahead for Americans and the US economy? WE MUST STOP THE UNNECESSARY SPENDING!
Standing With Israel – It is shocking to me how Democrats and the Democratic party have not only turned their backs on Israel and the Jewish people but are now actively attacking them. In Congress, Democrats are repeatedly voting AGAINST aid to Israel, that is, unless there is something in it for one of their pet projects elsewhere.
Defend Traditional American Families – This great country was founded on Christian values and principles. War is being raged on Christians, our family structures, and our traditional American values. I will fight to end this relentless attack!
Equal System Of Justice – Equal justice under the law must include everyone. I will fight in support of the equal application of the law and put an end to the two-tiered justice system that is currently being displayed.
Infrastructure Overhaul – Tragedies like Surfside can be avoided by instituting national building standards and improving inspection quality and frequency. Also, since much of our traffic issues are a result of the ongoing (federal) interstate changes and rebuilds, federal monies can be used to ease our traffic woes.
National Hurricane Insurance Program – We need a National Hurricane Insurance Program that people can purchase, similar to the National Flood Insurance Program. FEMA resources are supposed to be for real emergencies to supplement those who do not have enough insurance, however, here in Florida, many cannot afford insurance at all, so they end up relying on FEMA just to cover the basics. FEMA is an archaic and antiquated program that needs to be rebuilt from the ground up and with the addition of a new program specifically for hurricane events, we can truly help people while at the same time, saving FEMA’s resources.
