The Merrick Movement Policy Priorities

Restoring Justice & Accountability

I know firsthand what it means to face government abuse of power. No family should have to go through what mine did.

CPS & Family Court Reform: Require transparency, due process, and parental rights protections in child welfare cases.
Civil Rights Enforcement: Hold state agencies and officials accountable for retaliation and rights violations.
Government Accountability: Protect whistleblowers and ensure citizens have recourse when government harms them.

Safety & Security Without Extremism

We can support law enforcement, protect our communities, and reject political violence — all at the same time.

Strong, Accountable Policing: Fund local police and first responders, while requiring training and accountability.
Reject Political Violence: Condemn extremism from both sides — we solve problems with votes, not violence.
Support for Veterans: Expand mental health services, transition assistance, and ensure the VA works for those who served.

Economic Security & Opportunity

Families in Florida’s 5th District deserve a fair shot to succeed.

Good Jobs & Workforce Development: Expand apprenticeships, skilled trade programs, and small business incentives.
Support for Working Families: Increase access to affordable childcare, protect Social Security and Medicare, and fight inflation with practical solutions.
Invest in Infrastructure: Bring federal resources home for roads, bridges, ports, broadband, and clean water.

Healthcare that Works

Healthcare should be accessible, affordable, and focused on results.

Mental Health Access: Expand care options and reduce stigma for those who need help.
Lower Prescription Costs: Support Medicare’s ability to negotiate fair drug prices.
Veterans’ Healthcare Reform: Fully fund and streamline VA services so veterans never wait for the care they’ve earned.

Restoring Common Sense in Government

The Merrick Movement is about pulling America back from the brink and rebuilding trust in our democracy.

Protect Democracy: Ensure fair, secure elections that every citizen can trust — protect both voter access and election integrity.
End Partisan Gridlock: Work across the aisle to deliver results that help real people, not just political parties.
End Political Retaliation: No American should lose their children, job, or rights because of their political beliefs.

Education & Youth Opportunity

Our children’s future must be built on education that prepares them to thrive.

Focus on Literacy & STEM: Make sure every child can read, write, and compete globally.
Strengthen Schools: Support parents’ ability to make choices for their children while investing in strong, safe public schools for everyone.
Safe & Healthy Schools: Increase access to school counselors, mental health resources, and anti-bullying programs.

Faith, Family & Freedom — Reclaimed

The values I was raised on still matter — but they must mean something for everyone.

Religious Freedom for All: Protect freedom of religion and freedom from government interference in religion.
Protect Families: Stand up for parents, children, and family stability, with fairness and compassion at the core.
Freedom from Fear: Confront extremism and division so our communities can live in peace.
