On leaving Florida: I would not consider it likely [to leave Florida] in the next five years, because I love being around my family and friends...If I were to ever leave, it would be because of the cost of living. I’m born and raised in Florida and can’t believe how much cheaper it is to live in some other states, like North Carolina.”

On Florida's political pulse: I’m not satisfied with the current political climate in Florida because it feels very divided. It feels like you’re almost in a different country almost and it feels like a state that hasn’t unified themselves.

On gun control: I think it should stay 21, I'm a gun owner...The person who owns a gun needs to be responsible, and I think a 21 age limit, same as you can drink alcohol is fine. I'm for a little bit longer wait period to own a gun.

On leaving Florida: It’s unlikely that I’ll leave Florida within the next five years. The state offers so much that resonates with me: its beautiful beaches and year-round warm weather, and its vibrant cultural scene. As a Latino, I feel a strong sense of community here...If I were ever to consider leaving Florida, it would likely be due to the rising cost of living, especially rent prices in the cities where I’d ideally like to live. The affordability issue is becoming increasingly challenging.

On abortion: Being raised Catholic, I'd say yes [I agree with the abortion law], but as a woman, I don't think I can agree with it being a law. Six weeks is just too soon, some women wouldn't even know by that time. I think there should be a little more room allowing for decision-making. A child is a big deal, a lot of responsibility.

On DOGE: I cautiously support it and agree. But I am also concerned that good programs might be being slashed that I am not aware about, I cant be knowledgeable about all things." "I 100% make America first and then focus on the rest, I 90% support it, 10% I'm just not smart enough to know if it would cause damage or gain for some of these programs.

On the amendment threshold: Yes, [the 60% threshold to pass an amendment] is appropriate because it protects minority interests. If people want to get stuff changed they got to really have majority vote. I think 60% is a good number.

On gun control: Lowering the age to purchase firearms to 18 in my eyes would be extremely detrimental and pose a significant risk to the state. Allowing those who lack the emotional and mental maturity to own deadly weapons would create unsafe public, living and learning environments where reckless use of these weapons could result in devastating consequences.

On gun control: At the end of the day, I'd say no, keep the age the same. At 18, you're just becoming an adult. At least by the time you're 21, you've been an adult for some time and have matured.

On leaving Florida: I love the state of Florida, my kids love the state of Florida. As a migrant from Massachusetts and now as an owner of a Florida business, I feel like the opportunity for the American dream exists in Florida as much or more than it does in any other state. I was paying significantly more taxes, including a 5% state income tax and excise taxes on my cars. I’m not leaving Florida anytime soon.

On leaving Florida: Climate change is an increasingly pressing concern, particularly in regions like South Florida. Summers are becoming hotter and lasting longer. These shifts not only affect daily life but also contribute to a more intense hurricane season... One reason I'd consider leaving Florida is increasing temperatures. The summer heat has become unbearable the last few years.

On abortion: I do not support the current Florida abortion law, but it is better than straight up banning it in total. I just believe that the decision of abortion should be left to the woman and not the government.

On Florida's political pulse: I'm not satisfied with the political climate in Florida [but] I love Florida, it's where I grew up and it's a nice environment.

On abortion: I believe everyone should have a choice, and sometimes you don’t know at six weeks, sometimes you find out at eight weeks.

On leaving Florida: The state of Florida’s cost of living is the primary reason why I would personally consider leaving the state.
