Our platform is built on the belief that good government is local, accountable, and limited. We focus on what matters most to Florida families—not partisan posturing, but practical solutions delivered by neighbors serving neighbors.
Safe, Clean, and Working
Basic services should just work. Roads should be maintained, public spaces should be clean, and communities should be safe. Before we debate grand visions, we must deliver on fundamentals.
- Prioritize infrastructure maintenance over new projects until existing assets are properly maintained
- Support local law enforcement with the resources and training they need
- Hold government agencies accountable for basic service delivery
- Transparent reporting on infrastructure conditions and public safety metrics
Strong Schools, Strong Starts
Every Florida child deserves access to quality education. We believe parents are the primary decision-makers in their children's education, and schools work best when they're accountable to the families they serve.
- Empower parents with meaningful choice in how and where their children are educated
- Support teachers with competitive compensation and reduced bureaucratic burden
- Focus curriculum on core academic skills: reading, writing, mathematics, civics, and critical thinking
- Ensure school board meetings are accessible and responsive to parent concerns
Freedom to Build
Florida's housing affordability crisis won't be solved by government programs alone. We need to remove the regulatory barriers that prevent builders from meeting demand and families from achieving homeownership.
- Streamline permitting processes to reduce delays and costs
- Reform zoning to allow more housing types in more places
- Reduce unnecessary regulations that drive up construction costs
- Protect property rights while enabling reasonable community standards
Transparent Government
Floridians have a right to know how their government operates and how their tax dollars are spent. Sunshine is the best disinfectant, and transparency is the foundation of accountability.
- Strengthen Florida's already strong open records and sunshine laws
- Require plain-language budget summaries accessible to average citizens
- Livestream all public meetings and maintain searchable archives
- Publish regular scorecards on elected officials' promises vs. results
Neighbors First
Government should serve people, not the other way around. We believe in subsidiarity—the principle that decisions should be made at the most local level capable of addressing them effectively.
- Devolve power from Tallahassee to counties and cities whenever practical
- Resist unfunded mandates that burden local governments
- Support community-based solutions over one-size-fits-all state programs
- Encourage civic engagement at the neighborhood and precinct level
Constitutional Foundation
Every position in our platform is grounded in constitutional principles. We believe in limited government, individual liberty, and the rule of law. When evaluating any policy, we ask: Does this respect the Constitution? Does it protect individual rights? Does it solve problems at the most local level possible?
