WHO WE'RE FIGHTING FOR
Maria's Story
A Renter in Ybor
I've lived in Ybor for 10 years, but my rent has gone up by over 40% in the last 6 years. I'm worried I'll have to leave the neighborhood I love and where my children go to school.
Alan's Solution
Alan's affordable housing plan will create rent stabilization measures and increase housing supply, ensuring long-term residents like Maria can afford to stay in their neighborhoods.
James Story

Alan's Solution
Alan's small business initiative includes tax incentives for local businesses, streamlined permitting processes, and neighborhood revitalization programs to increase foot traffic in commercial districts.
Ms. Johnson's Story

Our classrooms are overcrowded and we lack basic supplies. Many teachers are leaving the profession because they can't afford to live on their salaries in Tampa.
Alan's Solution
Alan's education plan includes raising teacher salaries, reducing class sizes, increasing school funding, and creating affordable housing programs specifically for educators and public servants.
Miguel
A Student at USF
Many of my patients delay care because they can't afford it. We need better healthcare access in our community, especially for preventive care and mental health services.
