GROW THE ECONOMY, PROTECT FAMILIES
Our Plan for Tampa Bay
The Growth Economy
Growth You Can Feel at Home
A plan to lower costs, grow good-paying jobs, and give families across in Hillsborough and Manatee a fair shot at success.
Families are paying more for healthcare, housing, groceries, and insurance while wages struggle to keep up.
The Growth Economy delivers measurable results: lower bills, stronger competition, and economic growth that people can actually feel at home.
How The Growth Economy Will Work for You
1. Protecting Social Security and Retirement Security
Millions of Americans depend on Social Security for retirement security. Many retirees rely on these benefits as their primary or only source of income.
This campaign opposes cuts to Social Security benefits or raising the retirement age. Instead, long term solvency can be strengthened by adjusting the payroll tax cap so that the wealthiest Americans contribute their fair share.
Protecting Social Security is about honoring the promise made to workers who paid into the system their entire lives.
2. Veterans and Military Families
As a longtime service member, Jon Harris understands the needs of veterans and military families. Veterans deserve timely healthcare, strong mental health support, and a fully funded VA system that prioritizes care over bureaucracy.
Key priorities include reducing VA wait times, improving mental health access, supporting military families during deployments, and ensuring that veterans receive the benefits they earned through their service.
3. Environmental Protection and Coastal Resilience
Florida's economy and quality of life depend on protecting its natural environment. Issues such as red tide, coastal flooding, and water quality directly affect public health, tourism, and local businesses.
Federal investment in coastal resilience, water infrastructure, and environmental protection can help protect communities while also supporting economic growth. Protecting Florida's environment is not only about conservation. It is about safeguarding the future of local communities and the state economy.
4. Reproductive Freedom and Personal Liberty
Personal medical decisions should remain between individuals, their families, and their doctors. Government interference in private healthcare decisions threatens personal freedom and bodily autonomy.
This campaign supports restoring federal protections for reproductive rights and ensuring that women across the country have access to safe and legal reproductive healthcare.
5. Responsible Governance and Accountability
Americans deserve a Congress that focuses on solving problems rather than engaging in political theater. Responsible governance means passing legislation, conducting meaningful oversight, and working across party lines when necessary to deliver results.
This campaign emphasizes practical problem solving, transparency, and accountability to constituents rather than partisan gridlock.
