Taxes & spending

Property taxes (from his website, as quoted by WKMG News 6)

My position is targeted: eliminate property taxes on homesteaded homes valued within two hundred percent of the county median, with reductions above that threshold.

Housing

Housing (News4JAX voter guide answer)

I will push legislation to ban institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes in Florida and force existing corporate landlords to divest over time.

Elections, ethics & government

Election integrity (from his website, as quoted by WKMG News 6)

Paper ballots. Auditable systems. No voting machines running proprietary code the public is not permitted to inspect. Transparent campaign finance.

Other priorities

I will move to ban AI datacenters, ALPRs, and warrantless searches on all devices including phones.
