Therese’s Priorities for Duval County:
Reproductive Rights
Florida’s abortion ban threatens 7 million black women facing a maternal mortality crisis. I firmly support access to safe and legal abortion as a fundamental right, advocating to protect Roe v. Wade, increasing access to reproductive healthcare services, supporting providers, and promoting comprehensive sex education to safeguard women's health and reproductive rights.
Workers
Workers are the backbone of our economy and society. Out-of-touch anti-union Florida Legislators LIKE MY OPPONENT failed to vote to to ensure workers's heat protections. REAL Democrats like me believe in strong home rule and localities being able to raise the minimum wage.
Cannabis Legalization
I support legalizing cannabis for medical and recreational use, with protections in state law to prevent discrimination against users. Cannabis can be an alternative to addictive prescription drugs and contribute positively to public health and environmental impact. Legal protections ensure fair access to treatment options while addressing community health concerns.
Minimum Wage
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.
Public Safety
I am committed to promoting legislation to enhance public safety, reduce gun violence, and protect communities through policies such as universal background checks, red flag laws, assault weapons bans, safe storage laws, gun violence prevention, firearm licensing and registration, a public health approach to gun violence, and enhanced training and education.
Small Businesses
Supporting small businesses in District 14 is crucial for the community. By improving access to business lending, increasing opportunities for contracts, and promoting AI literacy, we can help these businesses thrive, ultimately creating jobs and enhancing the local economy and residents' quality of life.
Affordable Housing
I will fight to make housing more affordable and accessible for all residents by limiting corporate ownership, applying rental caps, supporting community land trusts, offering rent control options, and increasing funding for housing assistance programs. UNLIKE MY OPPONENT, I am not afraid to impose stricter regulations on insurance companies to stop them from implementing unfair rate increases and to ensure transparency in premium calculations for residents.
Healthcare Access
I will work to help expand Medicaid and Medicare for all, improve accessibility to high-quality healthcare providers, and focus on early prevention and screening programs for undiagnosed chronic and invisible illnesses.
Veterans Benefits
I am dedicated to addressing critical issues for Florida veterans and families impacted by incarceration. We aim to create a stronger, more inclusive community for all through comprehensive healthcare, affordable housing, employment opportunities, streamlined benefits, and robust mental health and reintegration support.
Education Reform
I aim to end the school-to-prison pipeline: raise teacher wages, increase funding for K-20 teachers to become mental health service providers, implement restorative justice programs, revise zero-tolerance policies, provide implicit bias training, invest in early childhood education, strengthen community and parental involvement, develop culturally relevant curriculum, increase teacher diversity, and redefine the roles of school resource officers.
The Environment
People worldwide are already facing the deadly consequences of the climate crisis, with extreme weather events like heatwaves, wildfires, droughts, floods, and hurricanes causing significant disruptions to communities, ecosystems, economies, and ways of life, while communities of color, working-class individuals, and the global poor disproportionately bear this burden. I will fight to achieve 100% renewable energy, create jobs, support communities during the transition, invest in key areas, and lead global efforts to combat climate change while promoting conservation and accountability in the fossil fuel industry.
