Issue Position: States Rights

Issue Position

As a former Mayor I understand that the government closest to the people governs best. As a freshman state legislator, I was awarded the "Defender of Home Rule" award by the Florida League of Cities. I believe strongly that Congress must adhere to the 10th Amendment to the Constitution and I will stand up for state's rights just like I stood up for home rule.

We should eliminate the following Departments and return these functions to the states:

* Department of Education

* Department of Energy

* Department of Interior

* Department of Commerce

* Housing and Urban Development

* Environmental Protection Agency
