Supports codifying and protecting reproductive rights and defends access to abortion and contraception. Advocates that personal healthcare and family decisions remain free from government interference.
Climate & Energy
The candidate emphasizes protecting clean water, restoring the Everglades, cracking down on pollution and funding septic-to-sewer conversions, but does not set out specific climate or national energy policies on her campaign site. The public materials focus on local environmental and water-quality measures rather than explicit emissions targets, fossil-fuel phaseouts, or detailed clean-energy policy.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate lists gun safety as an issue and is endorsed by a gun-safety advocacy group, indicating support for expanded gun-safety measures while respecting lawful ownership. Public materials associate the candidate with gun-safety advocacy rather than a pro-gun-rights stance.
