Working Families & Education: “I am running because I want to show those who’ve lost hope that there is still someone willing to fight for them. I promise that I will always fight for the working class against big businesses, raise teacher wages, protect workers unions, ban AI data centers and AI surveillance, and enact policies that protect the environment.”
(Hernando Sun 2026 Candidate Q&A) Housing, Insurance & Public Schools: “My top priorities would be to address the housing crisis by reforming the insurance system, working with the county commission to develop appropriate infrastructure, and removing the voucher system that siphons money away from public schools.”

Public Safety & Affordability: “I’ve spent more than a decade serving the people of Pasco County as a Fire Rescue Captain/Paramedic. Every shift reminds me that leadership is about showing up, solving problems, and putting others first. That’s why I’m running for the Florida House. I want to keep Florida affordable, support public safety, protect our freedoms, and make sure government stays focused on the people it serves.”
(Hernando Sun 2026 Candidate Q&A) Insurance, Housing & Infrastructure: “We need to continue addressing the rising cost of property insurance, encourage more attainable housing, invest in infrastructure before growth outpaces our communities, and keep Florida’s tax burden as low as possible.”
