Thank you EVERYONE who supported my campaign! It was fun and much work.
My final count was 109,057 votes. My opponent had 175,859.
In Pasco county I had 35% of the vote and 40% in Pinellas.
I certainly learned much from the experience.
Don’t give up the fight!
Extremist Republican Florida Legislators have BANNED abortion with virtually NO exceptions. I support limiting government interference with patient’s medical care and giving people the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions with their doctors.
Elitist Republicans ran Florida for the past 30 years; on THEIR watch, homeowner’s insurance premiums skyrocketed.
Florida's homeowner’s insurance is 4X the national average, all because Florida Republicans allowed insurance companies to take advantage of us! We must lower the cost of housing & rent.
Radical Republicans made it harder to vote in elections and protest peacefully. They fear a government of the people, by the people, for the people. Republicans want a government of the corporations, by the lobbyists, for the CEOs! Enabling dictatorships and eroding democracy is not conservative, it is treasonous!
Corrupt Republican politicians take so much money from polluters they are willing sell our water rights to the highest bidder just to line their pockets. We must ensure quality of life for future generations and enshrine the right to clean water in the Florida constitution.
Elitist Florida Republicans voted to ban localities from raising their minimum wage above the State. For all Republican' talk about smaller government, they don't actually practice what they preach. I believe in strong home rule and localities being able to raise the minimum wage.
Workers are the backbone of our economy and society. Out-of-touch Radical anti-union Florida Republicans voted to reduce workers's heat protections. As a labor leader, I fought for a safe workplace, safe staffing ratios and patient limits for healthcare workers.
Listen to my podcast from the Pasco County Democratic Party hosted by Cal Branche
Pasco County has been my home for 3 years.
I am a registered nurse, working for 40 years before retiring, with specialties in Labor and Delivery, OB/GYN, Infectious Diseases, and Primary Care for Adults and Children. Did you know federal dollars are available for deserving children, yet the current state legislature fails to accept those dollars, to stop hunger and provide healthcare for our most vulnerable children? We must not only save Medicare, but I also support Medicare for ALL.
I have dedicated my life to serving others. I am on the Executive Board for the Democratic Labor Caucus of Florida and the Tampa Bay Democratic Labor Caucus chapter. As a past president of the Illinois Nurses Association (5000 members), and Chief Union Steward at UI Health Hospital (1400 nurses), I fought for a safe workplace. I helped successfully craft and pass the HealthCare Workplace Prevention Act. And attempted to pass an IL and federal RN staffing legislation, modeled after other states Safe Patient Limits laws. I also co-founded a nonprofit, NursesTakeDC, which championed federal legislation for Safe Patient Limits so that nurses can provide safe quality care for you and your loved ones.
I believe in a healthy, safe environment for all. Every Floridian should be invested in statewide environmental priorities such as land conservation, water conservation, protections of water quality, managing land acquisition, seriously addressing climate change, flooding, and community resilience. I know I am.
I support the initiative to amend Florida's constitution to include a Right To Clean Water 2026. I am currently the Vice President of the Pasco Democratic Environmental Caucus, and have been endorsed by the statewide chapter. My Radical Republican opponent, Ed Hooper, is backed by oil & gas companies, powerful real-estate developers, and insurance companies. It's no surprise that Ed Hooper has a FAILING environmental record! Floridians deserve better.
