Positions
Healthcare
Supports keeping healthcare and prescription costs affordable, maintaining federal cost-sharing supports (such as subsidies), and protecting Medicare benefits. Advocates policies to stabilize coverage affordability rather than proposing a single-payer Medicare-for-All model.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting access to reproductive healthcare including abortion; listed as a legislative chair for Jacksonville NOW which endorses allowing abortion before viability, creating exceptions to 6-week bans, and opposing criminalizing abortion care. Campaign materials state a commitment to protecting access to healthcare and personal privacy.
Climate & Energy
Supports bringing federal infrastructure and clean-energy dollars to North Florida, defending coastal ecosystems, expanding conservation funding, and investing in disaster resilience. Favors clean-energy investment and coastal/environmental protections while not explicitly endorsing Green New Deal–level policies in the cited materials.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate is endorsed and supported by major gun-safety organizations and is aligned with gun safety advocacy. This indicates support for expanded gun-violence prevention measures (e.g., the positions championed by Everytown/Moms Demand Action) while running as a mainstream Democratic candidate rather than a gun-rights advocate.
