When I moved to Miami twenty years ago I fell in love with its tropical beauty, incredible coral reefs, sea life, and the Everglades. I truly believe that Florida is one of the most beautiful places in the world -- and that we must be good stewards protecting the land sea and water for our children and grandchildren. I have fought to protect our delicate ecosystem, working with the Coral Restoration Foundation, and for Zoo Miami. I stand for addressing the reality that is Climate Change, making polluters pay for their own clean up, assuring the ability of counties to install their own wetland protection programs.
