More and Better Jobs
Scott Plakon knows the ultimate solutions to our problems won't come from government but rather from the innovation and creativity of individual Floridians. Florida needs more meaningful relief that impacts all taxpayers and regulatory reform that frees up small businesses to expand and hire. Seniors and middle-class families struggle to make ends meet, while local governments squeeze even more out of local residents and homeowners. Scott fights for reasonable, responsible fiscal policies that protect Florida taxpayers and promote job growth.

Stronger Schools
Every child in Florida deserves a world-class education, and our leaders can achieve it through fair funding and measurable standards. Scott Plakon believes Tallahassee can continue ensuring our students and schools are reaching for excellence by setting goals, then helping them reach those goals. This does not mean state government dictates every tiny detail of district operations, but rather helps struggling schools and districts apply strategies and programs that have proved successful. At the same time, Scott wants parents to have choices so their children aren't stuck in consistently failing, substandard schools.

Safer Streets
Public safety is the foundation upon which all of our other rights and freedoms depend. That's why, in response to citizen concerns, Scott Plakon passed landmark reforms to Florida's anti-stalking law that further protect women and children from verbal threats and harassment. There is nothing worse than to hear about a crime that could have been prevented if the law had more "teeth" and allowed cops and judges to do their jobs. Scott is doing everything possible as our legislator to ensure that the safety of his neighbors and all Florida citizens is a top priority.

Better Energy Sources
Scott Plakon believes energy is the lifeblood of our economy, and Florida should be a leader in the use of alternative energies. In 2012 he passed comprehensive legislation with bipartisan support, offering financial incentives to develop renewable energy sources and adding thousands of jobs to the workforce. With increasing demand for energy and instability in world markets, Scott believes we have a responsibility to find ways to keep Florida's energy supply stable. He supports tax incentives for companies that develop energy-efficient products and grants to homebuilders and homeowners for using alternative energy sources and supplies.
