For Florida Seniors

You earned it. Alex will defend it.

FL-21 has one of the highest concentrations of retirees in the country — and Washington keeps treating Social Security and Medicare like bargaining chips. Alex takes zero corporate PAC money, so he answers to seniors, not to the insurers and drug companies squeezing them.

80%of voters 50+ called Social Security important to their 2024 vote
65%of seniors 65+ voted in 2022 — the highest of any age group

Alex's Pledge to Florida Seniors

  • Protect Social Security — full stop

    No benefit cuts. No raising the retirement age. No privatization. You paid in your whole life — you get what you were promised.

  • Lower prescription drug costs

    Let Medicare negotiate drug prices directly. No senior should choose between medication and groceries.

  • Defend Medicare from budget cuts

    Any deal that guts Medicare is one Alex votes against. These benefits were earned — not a line item to trade away.

  • Take on the property insurance crisis

    Too many retirees are one renewal notice from losing their home. Alex will pressure insurers and regulators until it's fixed.

  • Ease the squeeze on fixed incomes

    Retirees can't ask for a raise. Alex will fight to cut costs on groceries, utilities, and healthcare.
