Meet Ben Braver
Ben Braver started teaching at a local middle school directly after graduating from the University of South Florida with a B.A. in Economics. Ben’s classroom didn’t have enough chairs, a working A/C, or microscopes from after 1970, a direct result of under-investment. He looked for his state legislator hoping to advocate for his student’s needs, but this politician voted at every opportunity to hurt Ben’s students, friends, and family. That’s why Ben Braver is running for State Senate - To Invest In Our Community.
Our schools need more teachers, not fewer resources. We need lower insurance / rent prices, not poorly planned urban sprawl. We need leaders to invest in public transportation, not defund it. On every issue Ben’s opponent cowers to his corporate donors. We deserve Braver representatives who represent OUR interests. Vote for Ben Braver on November 5th and join our campaign today!
What I Stand For
-
Supplying our next generation with an exemplary education system is crucial to building a strong state. Bolstering our children’s future directly benefits everyone.
I will: Reduce class sizes, Increase teacher’s salaries, Stop our over reliance on testing, & End corporate “schools”.
-
Corrupt politicians have thoroughly de-regulated the insurance companies allowing them to arbitrarily raise our prices, literally stealing from us. I will ensure Florida is enforcing the laws it already had on the books, and create codes to make our cities & homes more resilient.
-
Our state legislators have spent years denying billions of OUR dollars from the federal government. Funds that would lower our healthcare costs and add to our economy. I will expand Medicaid to the 800,000 Floridians that fall through its gaps.
-
With horrendous traffic, worsening water quality, & obscene housing costs, we know Florida’s unplanned growth is unsustainable. I will invest in public transportation & efficient development rather than urban sprawl. That reduces housing cots, water use, and keeps money in our wallets.
