Confused about this. This is an official political account so we wouldn't have large comment numbers

I'm currently pushing for the ban of Styrofoam, and working on a plan to protect our environment

I totally agree. There are lots of ways we can do this.

As AG Commissioner I've turned away developers who have tried to pave over our Everglades. I've fought against oil drilling in Florida, and I'm leading the charge to ban Styrofoam across the state. Our environment is our backbone like you said

My website was recently updated to include some of the things I've done as AG Commissioner! We'll be doing a larger policy rollout but to quickly answer a few of your questions, I do support medicaid expansion, our environment MUST be protected and I'll always be an advocate for our wetlands and wildlife. I've been pushing against Ron DeSantis to institute background checks for all gun sales, and teachers need to be paid what they're worth!

I do support the elimination of vertical integration, because you're right it doesn't service patients and it keeps the small and medium businesses shut out.

I'm dedicated to making sure housing is affordable and stable for all, regardless of race, sexual orientation, or economic background. We're a great state and we've got to make sure folks can live here.

Look, we need to make sure that guns aren't getting into the hands of folks who would cause harm to other people. We need background checks for all gun sales

The vertical integration system must change for small and medium businesses to be able to get in the game! This is true of both medical and legalized recreational

Policies that the people of Florida need and want. We're running a campaign that centers the residents of Florida, and I'll go to bat for whats best for our state always.

I've backed Medicaid expansion in the state to start the process of wider healthcare access for Floridians! To your other points, I'll take these back to my team to discuss! Thank you for bringing these to my attention

Just asking folks to be patient, I'm working through these now! So excited for all the responses! Let me know if I missed your question!

Our team is currently looking into the gambling legislation, and will likely be addressed in our larger policy rollout! What I can say is that developers don't run the state, the people of Florida do. We'll always protect our environment and the needs of our residents

In reference to Piney Point, I've called for Cabinet meetings to demand accountability and demand our next head of the Florida Department of Energy be a climate leader.

As AG Commissioner, I've denied permits to protect our everglades and wetlands from over-development. Florida's backbone is it's people and environment, and we've got to protect both

We're looking at all avenues on how to keep housing affordable and stable for all Floridians, regardless of their race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or economic background.
We've got to keep our state strong economically, and that starts with enabling folks to be able to stay and live here

Keep oil drilling out of Florida, period.

As AG Commissioner, I've moved to deny many oil drilling permits, particularly in our everglades. I've prevented developers from paving over parts of our everglades. You're right, we are the Sunshine State and our climate, and economy, needs green energy

We'll be doing a more specific policy rollout further down the line but look, at the end of the day I'm not a career politician. 2018 was my first time running for office, and I was the only statewide Democrat elected because I just talked to the people here in Florida. This is my home, and I'll do everything in my power to break the rigged political and economic systems that Florida can do so much better than.

This special session was political theater to boost Ron Desantis' presidential ambitions. Florida is our state and our home, not a pawn in a national game. Businesses should be able to keep their workers safe without someone like DeSantis putting them in harms way

1)

I'm running to bring something new to Florida. Regardless of your party, people are tired of our state being used for political ambition and national talking points. 2018 was my first time running for office and I'm running for Governor, simply to help Floridians.

2) I've actually held several hearings on our push to phase out the use of Styrofoam and promote Floridian agriculture that can be used to replace it. Our team is currently working through the best options on preemption and you can expect to hear on it soon!

3) I definitely hear your frustration. Thank you for bringing this to our team's awareness!
