Carmen’s Priorities

Progress, Equity, Justice.

Abortion: I advocate for comprehensive reproductive healthcare, including access to abortion services, regardless of income, location, or insurance coverage and oppose any restrictions that disproportionately affect marginalized communities and hinders access to abortion care.
Medicare: I believe in expanding Medicare to ensure affordable healthcare for all Americans. Medicare should cover essential services, including preventive care, mental health, and prescription drugs. I support lowering the eligibility age for Medicare to provide coverage for more individuals and oppose privatization efforts that undermine the public nature of Medicare.
I support investments in public health infrastructure, research, and preventive measures to improve overall health outcomes.

Cost of living in Florida: Florida’s high cost of living poses challenges for residents. I propose targeted assistance programs to address housing affordability.
Insurance cost: I advocate for stronger consumer protections to prevent unfair practices by insurance companies and oppose discriminatory practices that disproportionately affect vulnerable populations.
As former realtor, I understand the complexities of the housing market. I advocate for fair housing policies that promote equity and prevent discrimination. I oppose predatory lending and exploitative practices that harm buyers and sellers.

I recognize the impact of inflation on everyday expenses. I support policies that stabilize prices and protect consumers.

I stand with the LGBTQIA+ community. I support equal rights, marriage equality, and protection against discrimination.
I advocate for inclusive policies in employment, healthcare, and education.
I oppose any attempts to roll back LGBTQ+ rights or deny equal treatment under the law.

I believe in a compassionate and fair immigration system. I support pathways to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who contribute positively to our society.

I advocate for comprehensive immigration reform that prioritizes family reunification and protects human rights.
I oppose xenophobia and policies that criminalize immigrants.
