South Florida has become too expensive for the vast majority of residents. Eliott will focus on the bills families actually pay—housing, insurance, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and transportation.source
As your representative in Congress, I am working to create more opportunities for South Florida families, support local businesses, and keep our economy strong.source
Medicare and Social Security are promises Americans earned through a lifetime of work—not bargaining chips for politicians in Washington. Eliott will oppose efforts to privatize them, cut benefits, raise the retirement age, or shift more healthcare costs onto seniors and working families.source
As your representative in Congress, I am committed to strengthening our healthcare system and ensuring patients have access to the care they need.source
America does not have to choose between enforcing its laws and treating people with dignity.source
Eliott supports common-sense gun safety measures that protect our children and communities while respecting the rights of responsible gun owners. He supports Ethan’s Law to require safe firearm storage and supports restoring a federal ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.source
For South Florida, protecting the environment is not an abstract ideological issue. It is about clean drinking water, stronger neighborhoods, affordable insurance, protecting the Everglades and Biscayne Bay, and ensuring that future generations can continue to live here.source
As a proud champion of the Everglades, I am fully committed to securing funding for its restoration and preservation, ensuring this unique ecosystem is protected for generations to come.source
Eliott spent nearly five decades asking tough questions and holding powerful people accountable. In Congress, he will answer to the people of South Florida—not party bosses, wealthy donors, corporate interests, or any president.source
We must get rid of career politicians in both parties that put profits and power above people, and we must set limits on how long public servants can serve in Washington. Our Founding Fathers intended it to be: public service, not a career.source
As your representative in Congress, I have secured millions of dollars in federal funding to modernize and strengthen South Florida’s infrastructure.source
