| No | g) Do you support the prohibition of public funds for abortion procedures? | ||
| No | h) Do you support the prohibition of public funds for organizations that perform abortions? | ||
| I believe, first and foremost, that the choice to terminate a pregnancy is a private matter to be discussed among family, loved ones and a person's own faith leader. While I would never personally choose or advise terminating a pregnancy, it is outside the scope of governmental duty to prohibit it. | |||

| Yes | c) Do you support requiring full and timely disclosure of campaign finance information? | ||
| Yes | d) Do you support the use of an independent AND/OR bipartisan commission for redistricting? | ||
| No | e) Do you support requiring a government-issued photo identification in order to vote at the polls? | ||
| Yes | f) Do you support opening Florida's primary elections to allow voters of all parties to participate? | ||
| I would support a government issued voter ID if it was specifically for voting and provided at no cost to the voter- Forcing a person to pay for an ID or license in order to vote puts a restriction on voting and is akin to an unconstitutional poll tax. | |||
| Yes | a) Do you support capital punishment for certain crimes? | ||
| Yes | b) Do you support alternatives to incarceration for certain non-violent offenders, such as mandatory counseling or substance abuse treatment? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support legalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana? | ||
| No | d) Should a minor accused of a violent crime be prosecuted as an adult? | ||

| Yes | e) Do you support expanding access to unemployment benefits? | ||
| No | f) Do you support requiring welfare applicants to pass a drug test in order to receive benefits? | ||
| Yes | g) Do you support providing financial incentives to the private sector for the purpose of job creation? | ||
| Yes | h) Do you support providing direct financial assistance to homeowners facing foreclosure? | ||
| Yes | i) Do you support an increase of the minimum wage? | ||
| No | j) Should employers be able to ask about applicants' criminal history before interviewing them? | ||
| Criminal History should be taken into account only for certain types of employment - I would support a bill preventing the question of criminal history to be included in an initial job application- I would also sponsor legislation to regulate predatory background check agencies which are often plagued with erroneous and outdated information. | |||
| Yes | a) Do you support the national Common Core State Standards initiative? | ||
| No | b) Do you support a merit pay system for teachers? | ||
| Yes | c) Is the tenure process for public school teachers producing effective teachers? | ||
| No | d) Should parents be allowed to use vouchers to send their children to any school? | ||
| No | e) Do you support state funding for charter schools? | ||
| Yes | f) Do you support the state government providing college students with financial aid? | ||
| Yes | g) Should illegal immigrants who graduate from Florida high schools be eligible for in-state tuition at public universities? | ||
| Punishing children for the immigration status of their parents is unconscionable. Common Core Standards, while I support them, should not be entirely regulated through testing and federal-level mandating. Local communities must exercise some control on how performance is assessed and how a teacher is able to teach . | |||
| Yes | a) Do you support state funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)? | ||
| No | b) Do you support state funding for the development of traditional domestic energy sources (e.g. coal, natural gas, oil)? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support state funding for improvements to Florida's energy infrastructure? | ||
| Yes | d) Do you support state funding for open space preservation? | ||
| Yes | e) Do you support government regulations of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Yes | f) Do you support increased regulations of the hydraulic fracturing ("fracking") industry? | ||
| I oppose fracking 100% | |||
| Yes | a) Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| Yes | b) Should background checks be required on gun sales between private citizens at gun shows? | ||
| Yes | c) Should citizens be allowed to carry concealed guns? | ||
| Yes | d) Should a license be required for gun possession? | ||
| I have no interest in taking guns away from responsible gun users and enthusiasts. Our culture, however, promotes irresponsible execution of the 2nd Amendment, with no nod to reason or safety. I am also not under the delusion that enforcing gun laws or regulating guns would bring an end to gun violence. But curtailing gun deaths has to include a far more responsible approach to the 2nd Amendment. | |||
| Yes | a) Do you support a universally-accessible, publicly-administered health insurance option? | ||
| Yes | b) Do you support expanding access to health care through commercial health insurance reform? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support interstate health insurance compacts? | ||
| Yes | d) Do you support Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")? | ||
| Yes | e) Do you support requiring individuals to purchase health care insurance? | ||
| Yes | f) Do you support monetary limits on damages that can be collected in malpractice lawsuits? | ||
| Yes | g) Do you support allowing doctors to prescribe marijuana to their patients for medicinal purposes? | ||
| h) Other or expanded principles: | |||
| Yes | a) Do you support same-sex marriage? | ||
| Yes | b) Do you support the inclusion of sexual orientation in Florida's anti-discrimination laws? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support the inclusion of gender identity in Florida's anti-discrimination laws? | ||
| d) Other or expanded principles: | |||
| I look forward to fighting for the health of our environment, especially the Indian River lagoon, state funds for which have already been allocated through the Legacy Florida Act. I am also keenly interested in an apprenticeship program for youth offenders to build job skills and eliminate criminal records for those who participate, thereby making them more employable. I would seek existing state funds for such a program |
