Key Issues

As a past member of the Florida House of Representative, Brian Rush worked on many important fiscal and social issues, and shares his ideas below of today’s important issues:

  • Homeowners Insurance

    The State of Florida recently admitted that Florida’s largest home insurance company, Citizens Insurance Company, which insures over one million Florida homes, is now insolvent and unable to pay homeowners’ anticipated claims for hurricane losses in 2024.

  • Economy & Inflation

    President Biden’s policies have given our country a solid job market and many economic indicators show that our economy remains strong. Unfortunately, continuing high prices coupled with high housing and insurance costs are leaving many Floridians and Americans in a very tough financial situation.

  • Reproductive Rights

    It was a great disappointment when the Supreme Court of the United States of America reversed Roe v. Wade in 2022, effectively allowing Ron DeSantis and the extremist Republican Florida Legislature to pass new laws practically ending reproductive freedom and endangering the health of Florida women.

  • Reducing Gun Violence

    Increases in gun violence across the United States calls for serious reforms to reduce gun violence and violent crime, while simultaneously addressing the epidemic of mental illness as it relates to gun violence.

  • Florida's Environment

    As a former Florida legislator, Brian Rush has a proven record in protecting Florida’s natural resources from polluters. Brian Rush stood up against the Big Sugar industry who poured pollutants into Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades.

  • Social Security, Medicare, & Veterans Benefits

    Beginning in the 1930’s and continuing into recent years, the People of the United States created a social safety net, financed by working people and for the benefit of working people, so that they would be financially protected when they needed these benefits most.

  • Tax Reform

    Rick Scott and other extremist Republicans have recently changed the United States’ tax code, and these changes have given unfair tax loopholes and unreasonable tax breaks for billionaires, rich corporations and foreign enterprises. These tax law changes have caused trillions of dollars in tax expenditures, which have directly caused huge annual budget deficits in the trillions of dollars, which are bankrupting America.

“High inflation with rising prices for food, fuel, housing and insurance is choking the middle class and working families.” Brian Rush
