Issue Position: Standing Strong For Our Environment

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2016
Issues: Oil and Gas Government Budget and Spending Environment Natural Resources

I have, and always will, make protecting our water quality and the environment a priority. I will never stop fighting to protect our state's natural beauty and resources. And I have the record to prove it.

* Made springs recovery and protection a top priority (HB 7003, 2015)
* Invested $189 Million In Everglades Restoration And Oil Cleanup (HB 5001, 2012)
* Invested $144 Million In Water Conservation And Restoration Efforts (SB 2000, 2011)
* Fought to ensure $375 million of our state budget was set aside for water conservation projects
* I proudly voted to ban unregulated fracking in Florida (HB 191, 2016). There is currently no fracking taking place in Florida. My vote supported strict regulations to ensure no fracking could occur without an environmental impact study and a decision from our state. I worked to prohibit fracking while my opponent took no action despite being in office for decades.
