| “ | What is your political philosophy?
I feel very strongly about the direction in which our state is going. As a scientist, I will bring solutions to the table and help the state move towards better air and water quality standards. Additionally, I am adamant about protecting equal rights and equal and affordable access to healthcare and public education. We must treat people with dignity and respect no matter who they are. Is there anything you would like to add? I want to be the voice of Floridians - a voice that has not been heard in Tallahassee for a very long time. [3] |
