TEAM Z SOLUTIONS
Constitutional Guardrails & Honest Government
This race is about whether any president should wield unlimited, unaccountable power. I’ll restore checks and balances and put people back at the center of government.
Rule of law & oversight: Routine hearings, real subpoenas, and protected inspectors general.
Emergency powers sanity: Time-limited presidential “emergencies” unless Congress votes to extend.
Money in politics: Build a coalition to curb billionaire/dark-money influence and make that cash toxic in our district.
Fair elections: Keep voting secure and accessible; oppose election subversion.
Redistricting common sense: Stop mid-cycle map games; support transparent, voter-first maps.
Straight talk: District briefings and written explanations for tough votes.
WORKING FAMILIES & COST OF LIVING
People are squeezed by affordability: housing, insurance, healthcare, and groceries. I’ll focus on outcomes, not cable-news food fights.
Property insurance crisis: Federal resilience dollars tied to hardening homes/infrastructure, with premium relief for mitigation.
Housing supply: Speed up attainable housing near jobs and campuses; cut red tape that inflates costs.
Protect seniors & vets: Defend Social Security/Medicare; improve VA access.
Local economies: Support state workers, university communities, farmers, fisheries, port/logistics, and the skilled trades.
Technology & AI Future
I’ve built AI tools and run an AI research team. America can harness innovation without automating people into poverty or creating a privacy-free surveillance mess.
Transition protections: Worker assistance that matches permanent job loss from automation, not just brief unemployment.
Automation accountability: Pair productivity gains with price relief; explore targeted levies when firms replace people at scale and pocket the margin.
Time dividends: Encourage pilots for shorter workweeks/earlier retirement where automation raises output.
Data rights & security: Stop mass data vacuuming; strong privacy rules, audits, and penalties.
AI abuse penalties: Elevate sentences for crimes using deepfakes/synthetic identity fraud.
INFRASTRUCTURE, SAFETY & RESILIENCE
From hurricanes to near-misses in our skies, we can fix problems by funding what works.
Insurance & storms: Invest in coastal and grid resilience; tie upgrades to affordability.
FAA safety: Expand air-traffic-controller training capacity (add regional academies), keep pay competitive, and modernize comms/radar backbones.
“Money’s the only problem”: Stop hollowing out agencies; fund proven fixes and the talent to run them.
Military, Veterans, & Defense Jobs
Tyndall AFB and defense spending are pillars of Bay County’s economy. I’ll be a dependable partner.
Protect Tyndall & suppliers: Budgets and oversight that keep missions strong and local contractors working.
Veterans’ services: Defend benefits and reduce delays; expand community-based care where appropriate.
Rural Opportunity: Jobs, Healthcare, Broadband
Gadsden, Jackson, and our rural counties deserve real investment—small farms, clinics, and reliable internet are economic basics.
Small farms & jobs: Use the Farm Bill and recruitment to diversify jobs while backing local agriculture.
Healthcare access: Keep rural clinics open and affordable; cut red tape that forces long drives for basic care.
Broadband everywhere: Treat the internet like essential infrastructure—finish last-mile build-out for students and small businesses.
Environment & Natural Resources
Our identity and economy are tied to the Gulf, the Bay, our springs, forests, and rivers. Protect them or lose what makes this home.
Apalachicola Bay: Prioritize recovery and fair water-management policies—existential for Franklin County.
Springs & coast: Science-based conservation and resilience that keep fishing, eco-tourism, and property values strong.
Hurricane recovery: Smarter rebuilding standards and funding aligned to risk.
Education & Universities
Stop arguing about bureaucracies; start fixing schools and supporting FSU/FAMU so students, parents, and teachers succeed.
Outcomes, not theater: Bipartisan policies that measurably improve classrooms and campus freedom.
Leon County reality: State policy and university funding choices hit our local economy—Congress must be a strong partner.
Emerging Issues (FAA, Redistricting, Crypto)
A flexible bucket for fast-moving topics—you deserve straight answers and practical fixes, not culture-war chaos.
FAA: Fund regional ATC academies, expand class slots, modernize equipment so controllers aren’t flying blind if a link fails.
Redistricting: Oppose partisan map-rigging; support transparent, voter-first processes.
Crypto & financial abuse: Clear rules, licensing, and anti-fraud enforcement—no special breaks for self-dealing “house + casino” schemes.
Rapid briefings: When national rulings or agency changes hit home (state workers, military, retirees, students), I’ll explain what changed and what Congress can do.
