Since Donald Trump’s term started in 2025, his administration has made decisions for the benefit of the fossil fuel industry and to the detriment of regular people. Electricity rates are up 8% since Trump took office, and here in District 15, residents have been significantly impacted by increased electricity costs. 47% of Floridians already struggle to meet basic costs of living. With the addition of increased expenses due to natural disaster impacts and insurance costs, Florida’s working and middle-class families are being priced out of living here.
Please read below for Robert's policies on lowering utility costs, expanding clean energy investments, restoring Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, and restoring Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) programs.

Robert People believes healthcare is a human right. Nobody in the United States should have to make a life-or-death decision on the basis of cost. He will fight for affordable, accessible healthcare through Medicare for All.
Laurel Lee voted against extending ACA subsidies and made it harder for constituents to get approved for Medicaid when she voted for the Big Ugly Bill. 27,900 elderly or disabled individuals in district 15 were dual-eligible (enrolled in Medicare and relying on Medicaid to help them with costs of care). 169,800 individuals total, including children and adults with disabilities, were enrolled in Medicaid when she made this vote to eliminate eligibility for some of them and make it easier for others to lose their benefits due to paperwork errors. 16.9% of the district, 141,151 individuals were enrolled in ACA plans and saw their costs increase as a result of her vote. Despite almost 36% of her constituents having access to healthcare made more difficult by her vote, Laurel Lee still placed her rubber stamp on Trump’s agenda.
This is unacceptable. Robert People will support Universal Healthcare/Medicare for All to ensure that political games don’t mean our most vulnerable populations can’t get the care that they need to live and thrive.

Robert People will fight for clean energy and environmental protections to keep our people and our world healthy.
Since Donald Trump’s term started in 2025, his administration has made decisions for the benefit of the fossil fuel industry and to the detriment of regular people. As the Representative for district 15, Laurel Lee has supported the administration as they have paid taxpayer dollars to cut clean energy projects. She has voted to sacrifice public lands for subsidization of the fossil fuel industry.

Robert People will fight for America, not Israeli war criminals Since 1967, Israel has had bipartisan support for American funding for its economy and its military. The America Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and dozens of similar organizations commonly called “The Israel Lobby” have become too powerful and they have corrupted our government. Their campaign donations have bought too many American politicians and false charges of “antisemitism” have punished Israel’s critics for too long. Robert People believes that the American government’s first duty is to the American people, both their needs and their consciences. We must not allow the Israeli government to have power over us, to conduct genocide, or to ruin our country’s reputation as a defender of human rights, such as the rights to life, liberty, and free speech.
Policy Positions
- Robert People will not accept any AIPAC funds either directly or through intermediary/bundling methods
- Robert People will vote to stop American arms shipments to Israel.

Robert People will fight to ensure Americans continue to receive their Social Security benefits.
Without Social Security, 2/3 of our elderly people would be living in poverty. The State of Florida has the second largest population of seniors in a state and the third largest percentage of seniors.
Currently, Social Security reserves are projected to be depleted by 2033. This is a crisis that needs to be addressed immediately. 17.6% of District 15’s population is 65 years of age or older and 13.7% are living with disability.

Since members of Congress often make policy decisions that can have a direct impact on the economy and specific industries, Robert is looking to support or put forth legislation to ban congressional stock trading.
This will also prevent insider trading, which will stop lawmakers from having non-public, market-moving information before the general public. Members of Congress are representatives of the American people. They should not be engaging in activities that give them an unfair financial advantage over the people they represent, especially when their constituents are often suffering and living in poverty. This is unacceptable.

Health care is a human right. Period.
We have proven time and time again that we have the capacity to support Medicare For All, and there has been enough "kicking this can down the road." Robert will support universal healthcare to ensure that our citizens receive the healthcare they need without being financially drained just to pay for medication(s), forcing them to decide between paying a bill or receiving, in many cases, life-saving medicines. Our citizens should not have to decide to essentially die due to the inflated costs of medications that they can no longer afford, and whoever is benefiting from these astronomical costs needs to be held accountable as well. Enough of pretending we do not know that is happening. We do, and enough is enough.

Robert will NOT accept donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). This includes disguised, AIPAC-linked donors; i.e., donations linked to AIPAC while not disclosed as being received from this organization. Robert will also always vote and/or support NO further arms being sent to Israel under this administration.
Robert will NOT support Israel's GENOCIDE against the people of Palestine. Since October 7, 2023, 65,000 Palestinians have died, and this continues even after an established Gaza peace plan that went into effect on October 10, 2025. This is unacceptable.
No word from the United States or Israel to express any care or concern for the thousands of murdered Palestinians, and enough is enough. Robert will always speak up against this war and the senseless killing of the people of Palestine.

Our children need to be fed and nourished so that they can focus on learning and becoming their absolute best. Robert will fight for FREE school breakfasts and lunches for ALL our children. Robert would like to propose child tax credits to cover school meals.
Robert would also like to restore USDA funding for food banks and to engage with food assistance organizations to identify bureaucratic barriers and regulation changes that could expand opportunities and alleviate costs.
We must remember that this will also help hard-working families, especially single mothers, as this option allows them no longer to have the additional task of preparing breakfasts and lunches for their children on school days. They have more than enough to deal with...this will at least give them one less task to take on.

Women are still having to deal with a host of issues during doctor's visits. They are NOT being heard by medical providers. Women are often misdiagnosed, receive improper treatments, or are frequently told that they "need to lose weight" in an effort to dismiss the problem. There is still a lack of women in clinical trials, as men are still strongly viewed as the default, insufficient research into women's health issues, and so much more. Robert will support federal grant funding for these initiatives. Reproductive health and decisions are always up to a woman and her doctor.

The last significant and comprehensive immigration reform in the U.S. was the Immigration Reform Act and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, that was signed by President Reagan. While there have been many attempts of immigration reform, none of those efforts have passed.
There needs to be a much better and clearer path to citizenship that does not involve immigrants who are doing the right thing having to wait years for their citizenship.
Also, there seems to be unnecessary confusion on due process, as Robert will also push that immigrants have better protection and adequate due process as stated by our CONSTITUTION.

This bill was passed on July 3, 2025, and signed on July 4, 2025. This is a horrible bill, to say the least. Millions will lose healthcare coverage and SNAP benefits. Our national debt will rise by nearly $3.5 trillion. There will be limits to overtime and tips deductions. And this is just the start. If this has not taken place by the time Robert is in office in 2027, his goal here would be to propose legislation to amend and/or repeal this bill.
It is important to note that in this case, a two-thirds vote would be needed from both the House and the Senate. However, considering the catastrophic nature of the contents of this bill, Robert has no plans to give up on getting rid of this horrible, ugly bill.

Each loan as the campaign’s report through Oct 14, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
The largest of the committees is listed. In all, 1 committee contribution was filed this cycle, totaling $200. Counted from the givers' own filings, which can run above the total the campaign itself reports.
Total reported receipts $82,518
