Common Sense
for the 7th

Your Voice in Washington

Karen will answer to the families of the 7th District — never to the party bosses, lobbyists, or special interests.

For too long, the people of Seminole and Volusia counties have felt like an afterthought in Washington. Karen is running to change that — to be a representative who actually listens, shows up, and tells the truth.

  • Accessible representation. Regular town halls and open office hours across both counties — not just at election time.
  • Honest accountability. Plain answers about how she votes and why, with no hiding behind party talking points.
  • District first. The needs of local families and seniors come before the demands of D.C. insiders.
02Seniors

Protecting Our Seniors

The Social Security and Medicare our seniors earned are promises that must be kept — and defended.

With one in four residents of the 7th District aged 65 or older, protecting seniors isn't an abstract policy debate here — it's personal. Karen will fight to safeguard the benefits our seniors paid into their whole lives, and to protect them from those who would do them harm.

  • Defend earned benefits. Protect Social Security and Medicare for the seniors who paid into them — no broken promises.
  • Crack down on fraud. Go after the scams and schemes that target older Americans and drain their savings.
  • Lower the cost of living. Fight the inflation and high prices that hit fixed-income seniors the hardest.
03The Future

Building for the Future

Strong schools, a strong economy, and secure borders — so the next generation inherits a stronger Florida.

As a veteran and a 20-year educator, Karen knows what it takes to build something that lasts. She'll fight for the policies that give our kids and grandkids a safer, freer, more prosperous country.

  • Strong schools. Back parents, support great teachers, and keep our classrooms focused on the fundamentals.
  • A strong economy. Support small businesses, cut wasteful spending, and get inflation under control.
  • Secure borders. Back the men and women who keep us safe and restore order and the rule of law.
