Today I voted NO on the property insurance bill that does NOT help policyholders. It is a billion dollar bailout for insurance companies that puts homeowners at the helm of bearing the burden of rising rates, less access to courts for recourse, and 0 accountability of companies.

I typed a thread about why this insurance bill is terrible and I somehow erased it. So, I’ll be succinct.
This bill will reduce access to courts, rates will rise, and Floridians will be the ones to bear the burden of it all. This bill does NOT help my constituents.

I voted against the Anti-immigration bill SB1718 because we KNEW this would happen. And we told everyone that it would in committee and on the floor. We read the bill and we saw the devastating impacts.
Got footage from inside this event. They admit the bill is “100% meant to scare” immigrants and beg the crowd to “urgently” convince “your people” to not leave Florida since folks in the agriculture industry are mad workers are leaving. The hypocrisy is so brazen and disgusting.
