Issue Position: Protect Our Values

Issue Position

Religious freedom is under assault and gravely at-risk in our state and nation. While freedom of speech and religious freedom are being attacked by the liberal media and liberal special interests, additional protections need to be established to ensure churches, synagogues and religious organizations do not lose their tax-exempt status and are able to practice their faiths and express their values without intervention from the government.

Too many of our nation's children suffer from fatherlessness. According to one national statistic, 24.7 million children (33%) live absent their biological father. I will work to establish criminal penalties for fathers in Florida who abandon their children or leave the responsibility of parenthood to single mothers.

Florida is a hotspot for Homeless veterans, housing approximately seventeen percent of all homeless veterans in our nation. In the Legislature, I will sponsor legislation to eliminate veteran homelessness in Florida.
