The Problem: Florida’s tax code is currently rigged against the "little guy." While multi-national corporations have armies of lawyers to navigate complex regulations and exploit loopholes, our local mechanics, barbers, restaurant owners, and tech startups are drowning in red tape and nuisance taxes.

​

The government shouldn't be punishing you for trying to start a business in your hometown.

 

The Solution: As your State Senator, I will introduce the Florida Main Street Freedom Act. This bill is not a bailout and it is not a subsidy. It is a bold reduction of government interference designed to level the playing field for Floridian-owned businesses.​

​

1. Abolish the "Tax on Tools" for Small Business

​

• The Issue: Currently, businesses pay a "Tangible Personal Property Tax" on equipment—computers, furniture, and machinery. This tax punishes entrepreneurs for investing in their own success.
   

• My Plan: I will raise the exemption threshold from $25,000 to $100,000.
   

• The Result: This effectively eliminates the property tax bill for the vast majority of local small businesses, while ensuring massive out-of-state corporations still pay their fair share.

​

2. End the Paperwork Nightmare

​

• The Issue: Thousands of small Florida businesses spend more money hiring accountants to file state tax returns than they actually owe in taxes. This is government waste at its worst.
   

• My Plan: Establish a "Micro-Business Filing Waiver." If your business creates less than $250,000 in revenue, you shouldn't even have to file a state corporate return.
   

• The Result: Less time dealing with the Department of Revenue, and more time growing your business and being with your family.

 

3. The "Local Job Creator" Credit

​​​

• The Issue: Big Box stores send their profits to Wall Street. Local businesses spend their profits here in Volusia County.
   

• My Plan: I will fight for a remittance credit specifically for businesses with fewer than 50 employees and fewer than 3 locations. This allows local owners to keep a larger percentage of the sales tax they collect for the state.
   

• The Result: We keep capital in our community, rewarding the businesses that actually drive our local economy.

My Promise

I don’t believe in using the tax code to pick winners and losers, but I do believe in removing the shackles that hold our local economy back. The Main Street Freedom Act subtracts government from your life so that Volusia County can thrive.
