Leslie Jean-Bart has a recorded position on eight issues. Each is Civoren's summary of the campaign's own public material, with the source linked.
Jean-Bart supported equality and dignity for all Floridians, opposing discrimination in employment, housing, education, and public accommodations, and protecting LGBTQ+ individuals and equal treatment under law.
“Every Floridian deserves to be treated with dignity, respect, and fairness under the law... That commitment extends to the LGBTQ+ community and every person who deserves equal opportunity, equal protection, and the freedom to live authentically without fear of discrimination.”
Jean-Bart campaigned on making Florida affordable for working families, supporting lower costs, stronger wages, small businesses, homeowner and renter protections, and economic development that delivers for working families.
“I will fight for practical solutions that lower costs, strengthen wages, support small businesses, protect homeowners and renters, and ensure economic development actually delivers real results for the people it is supposed to help - not just headlines and ribbon cuttings.”
Jean-Bart supported small-business growth, entrepreneurship, workforce development, infrastructure, and transparent, accountable economic development that creates quality jobs.
“Florida's economy is strongest when entrepreneurs, small businesses, and employers have the opportunity to grow, invest, and create jobs.”
Jean-Bart supported clean air and water, flooding mitigation and drainage infrastructure, environmental justice protections, disaster preparedness, and clean energy investment.
“Families deserve clean air, clean water, safe neighborhoods, resilient infrastructure, and protection from environmental hazards. Florida must prepare for flooding, hurricanes, extreme heat, and environmental challenges while ensuring historically underserved communities are not left behind.”
Jean-Bart supported stronger ethics and anti-corruption protections, independent oversight, transparency in government contracts and spending, and stronger Sunshine Law protections.
“As a private citizen, I exposed a $12 million grant conflict using nothing but public records, persistence, and the willingness to speak out. That experience reinforced what many Floridians already feel: government too often protects insiders instead of serving the public.”
Jean-Bart supported expanding access to affordable healthcare, mental health, dental and maternal care, and protecting reproductive freedom and contraception access from political interference.
“I believe every Floridian deserves access to affordable healthcare, mental health services, dental care, maternal healthcare, and preventative treatment. I also believe women deserve dignity, medical autonomy, and the ability to make healthcare decisions with their doctors - not under political pressure or government interference.”
