GOD - FAMILY - COUNTRY

Mery Lopez-Palma Esq. for Florida House of Representatives District 102

I am running for the position of State Representative because I believe in the power of unity within our Republican community. In today's political climate, it is more important than ever to come together and bring diverse voices and perspectives to the table. I am committed to focusing on my campaign's core principles of God, Family, and Country. We can work towards common goals and shared values by fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual support among all members. With God's guidance, we can build a stronger and more cohesive party equipped to handle today's and tomorrow's challenges. 

The Issues Facing District 102 & Our State 

Supporting Local Business

As a Floridian, small businesses are the backbone of our economy and provide valuable services and jobs to our communities. That's why I will work tirelessly to promote legislation that will ease the burden on local businesses and provide them with the tools they need to thrive. I will advocate for tax cuts, reduced government regulations, and promote free trade to empower our local businesses and help them grow. We can create a stronger, more prosperous Florida for all by supporting local businesses.

Keeping Taxes Low

Due to inflation, it has become increasingly difficult for families to maintain the quality of life they deserve. As your state representative, I will sponsor and promote legislation to reduce property taxes in the State of Florida, alleviating the burden on Florida families. I will work to raise the Homestead Exemption limit to provide great relief to homeowners. I will advocate to implement additional exemptions for seniors, veterans, and low-income families.

School Safety

Our children deserve access to the world's best education and a safe learning environment. I will strive to enhance school safety, increase school funding, and safeguard parental rights in the educational system. We cannot allow the radical left to indoctrinate young children with irrational sexual ideologies. Our focus should be on educating, keeping our children safe with latest security technology available.

Affordable Housing

The escalating cost of property insurance, property taxes and rental increases has resulted in a housing crisis in Florida, particularly affecting lower-income families who are already struggling to make ends meet. To address this issue, we must develop legislation that reduces insurance rates and creates more affordable housing options. I will work with local government officials to streamline the permitting process and reduce regulatory barriers to encourage the development of new housing, including affordable and middle-income options.

Veterans Rights

While we send billions of dollars to foreign countries, our veterans who have fought and served our nation, several are left homeless and without adequate healthcare. This is unacceptable. As a state representative, I will advocate for legislation that provides additional assistance by streamlining the application process for VA Benefits, increase funding for programs like the HUD-Veterans Affairs supportive housing program to provide rental assistance and support services. Also encourage community-based programs and initiatives that help veterans integrate into civilian life. By implementing these strategies, Florida can better support its veterans, ensuring they receive the care, resources, and opportunities they deserve after their service.
