Affordability & Cost of Living: “I am running to be your voice in Tallahassee and a strong advocate for our special community. Florida is facing a real affordability crisis—from rising property insurance and housing costs to inflation at the grocery store and at the pump. We need leaders who know how to balance a budget, listen to everyday neighbors, and find practical solutions to ease the cost of living while defending our safety and expanding educational freedom.” (Campaign website (votecathyhiggins.com))
Public Safety: “Stand firmly with law enforcement and securing our neighborhoods, because quality of life starts with feeling safe.” (Campaign website (votecathyhiggins.com))

Redistricting & Fiscal Stewardship: “I voted no on HB 1D because of its fiscal impact on the state. Mid-decade redistricting on this record will almost certainly generate litigation, and that litigation will be paid for by Florida taxpayers.”
Election Administration: “In addition, supervisors of elections across our sixty-seven counties will need to update precinct assignments, voter notifications, ballot designs, and election systems on a compressed timeline, with cost implications they did not budget for. Sound fiscal stewardship counsels against creating these costs absent a clear constitutional or legal need.”
