My Stance on the Issues

Economy & Jobs	Health Care	Breast Cancer

Throughout our nation's history, the strong American workforce has been at the center of our vibrant economy. In particular, our manufacturing sector has been a source of pride, a source of economic strength, and a source of well-paid jobs, as well as a guarantee of investment in an American future. Unfortunately, as the recession has hit our housing and our financial industries, it has taken a toll on our manufacturing industry as well... Read More	With the second-highest rate of uninsured residents in the U.S., Floridians in particular have gained a lot from this law. In 2015, more than 1.6 million Floridians were re-enrolled or signed up for a health care plan through HealthCare.gov – the highest enrollment of any state using a federally-facilitated marketplace... Read More	Despite the perception that breast cancer is only something older women need to worry about, young women can and do get breast cancer. That's why I introduced the Breast Cancer Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young Act, or the EARLY Act, which became law along with the Affordable Care Act in 2010... READ MORE

Education	Clean Energy	College Affordability

It is a simple truth that nations who out-educate us now will out-compete us in the future. Now more than ever, we must commit to our national education system by investing in our public K-12 schools... READ MORE	I support an energy policy that promotes clean, renewable, domestic sources of energy that will fuel an economy that is sustainable, while protecting our environment and promoting our national security. I believe it is critical that energy policy works to prevent the worst effects of climate change by dramatically reducing our emissions of greenhouse gases over the next several decades... READ MORE	Throughout my career as a legislator, increasing access to higher education and improving college affordability have been among my top priorities. I remain as committed to these issues today as when I served as Chair of the Higher Education Committee in the Florida Legislature... READ MORE

Military and Defense	Israel	Veterans

Like you, I understand the need to invest in a 21st century military to maintain our conventional advantage while increasing our capacity to defeat the threats of tomorrow. By balancing the different elements of national power, we will not continue to push the burden onto our military alone, nor leave dormant any aspect of the full arsenal of American capability when it comes to keeping the people of America safe... READ MORE	I am a staunch supporter of the State of Israel and her citizens' right to live in peace and security. Since Israel's independence in 1948, the United States and Israel have shared a special relationship based on our shared values of personal freedom, democracy, and the rule of law. Israel has blossomed from desert sands into a shining example of economic progress and cultural diversity – all while under the threat of attack from hostile neighbors... READ MORE	America's service men and women should be able to count on the full and unwavering support of their government. We have 21 million service members living across our country, with more than 1.5 million here in Florida, including more than 30,000 veterans in my own Congressional district. It is our duty as Americans to ensure that these veterans have easy access to the benefits and services they so rightly deserve, including comprehensive health services, employment and educational opportunities, and support for their families...

Environment	Women

As you know, Florida possesses many of our nation's most unique and delicate ecosystems. Our coastlines and wetlands are national treasures which must be preserved for all Americans. Yet, rising sea levels, polluted waterways, and the dwindling populations of native species remind us of the dire need for robust environmental protections that promote cleaner air, cleaner water, and preservation of our natural resources. The health of our environment is essential to the overall well being of Floridians and all Americans. We must understand that what we do today has a profound impact on future generations... READ MORE	As a woman and mother, I am committed to legislative initiatives that promote gender equality and awareness of women's issues. I have worked consistently to improve the health, safety, and economic empowerment of women and their families... READ MORE
