Life down here requires respect for our natural resources. From the Everglades to Biscayne Bay to the Keys, our region is strongly shaped by our environment. Holly knows we need common sense policies that restore our reef and protect our commercial fisherman. Holly understands that our environment is intimately tied to our economy and that harmony between economics and ecology is essential for our livelihood and lifestyle.

Holly works with our local law enforcement and elected officials to make sure our community is safe. Keeping our crime rate low is essential to our region’s economic health and Holly works in Tallahassee to get our law enforcement programs funded and our homes safe.

South Miami-Dade is home to crops that grow nowhere else in our country. Our region is agriculturally unique and Holly believes that we must keep Homestead and the Redland distinct from urban Miami, preserving the rich agricultural heritage of our region.

As a mother, Holly knows that there is nothing more important than the future of our children. Ensuring all our children have access to world-class schools is key to our future and Holly has worked to increase school funding each year since she entered the legislature.

As any parent or grandparent knows, all children are different and many have unique needs. Providing educational options allows for all of our children to access the instruction best suited for their needs.
