Florida, Our Water
- I pledge to work with our great Florida warrior, Congressman Brian Mast to find the best solutions to save our waters and the living environment. As an avid beachgoer, boater, and fishing enthusiast I understand why many Americans visit and live in our tropical, beautiful state. Our water flow systems are delicate and yet powerful from Lake Okeechobee to the intracoastal waterways, the canals and our great Atlantic Ocean. The sugar cane industry is important , and I seek to find compromise to the water tug-of-war. The problem issue separately also includes phosphates and antiquated drainage systems of residents around Lake O. Let's work to find the answers together!
Pharmaceutical Industry Drug Costs
- Deborah has spent decades researching Companies who mission is to save and improve lives. She understands their upfront monetary risk taken on in the hopes of a successful drug or cure. We all know friends, family and elected politicians afflicted with health conditions from cancer to Alzheimer's. Deborah supports the "Scientists who have the indomitable will to find the unfindable and cure the uncurable" (PhRMA). It is possible to provide affordable healthcare to Americans when insurance companies and drug manufacturers work together. Covid has reminded us to salute hospital workers and scientists fighting against diseases every day.
Legal Immigration
- The United States is a quilt made up of the world's people - that makes us uniquely special. The idea of immigration to America is to join and give and strengthen NOT divide and take and weaken. American's are generous and empathetic, but patience is lost when illegal and forced entry into Our Great Country defiantly continues. Chaotic tidal waves of illegal immigration strain our welfare system, overwhelms our hospitals, weakens schools and threatens the safety of law-abiding tax paying Americans. The strategy of the current administration appears intentional.
American's Taxes
- Deborah believes Americans know how to spend their earned income better than the Government. The pending tax increases on American's income, capital gains rate and Corporate taxes will again, have negative impacts. The current Administration incorrectly thinks they can invest and spend better than the American people who built this Great Country. The Government is the people's business and its revenue is the earnings of the American people.
Space Exploration / Defense
- The space race is on again - The United States must lead and defend that frontier. Deb supports maintaining the United States dominance and supports Space Force and the growing space industry in Florida which helps aid our national defense.
