Issue Position: COVID19

Issue Position

COVID19 has completely changed the way we live, work, and play. Anna has been a leading advocate in prioritizing both public health and economic relief for the people of Florida. She secured one of the first testing sites in Orange County at the University of Central Florida, and continues to emphasize testing, data and research as the best tools to combat COVID19. Meanwhile on the economic front, Anna has been a fierce advocate for small businesses and everyday people as her team fights unapologetically for every unemployed Floridian to get their unemployment benefits. She has given up her state salary to those in need, and has raised more than $15,000 for unemployed Floridians to help pay for rent, food, and medical bills. She played a key role in both stopping April rent increases for a multi-county affordable housing company and in extending the state's eviction/foreclosure moratorium. Finally, Anna gained an early commitment from the state's largest utility company that they would not disconnect Floridians' power during the pandemic and continues to advocate for the most marginalized Floridians.
