fought for the Americans with Disabilities Act so her sister with cerebral palsy could have a fair shot. She carried that fight forward — building a first-of-its- A kind housing community in Northwest Florida where adults with disabilities can live independently. When her son was diagnosed with a rare medical condition, Brice took on insurance companies that refused to pay, navigated a broken system, and had to travel out of state to the only place that would give him the care he needed. That experience drove her to later lead Floridians Protecting Freedom, fighting to keep government out of women’s healthcare decisions. Now, Brice is running for Congress because life isn’t working for families in North Florida. She has never backed down from a fight, and will take on
Trump in DC. Brice is focused on bringing- Champion affordable healthcare, lower presciption dug prices, protect and expand Medicaid, support Rural hospitals.
- Affordable housing is one of my top priorities because every family deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Unlike most candidates, I have firsthand experience delivering real solutions. I helped build a 58-unit affordable housing community in Tallahassee for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, giving dozens of families the security and independence they deserve. I will fight to increase the supply of affordable and workforce housing, expand tax credits and federal investments that help communities build more homes, support first-time homebuyers, strengthen housing assistance for seniors, veterans, and people with disabilities, and invest in the infrastructure needed for responsible growth.
- Strong public schools are the foundation of strong communities, and every child deserves a high-quality education regardless of their ZIP code. I will fight to fully fund public schools, protect Title I funding, increase support for students with disabilities, and raise teacher pay so we can recruit and retain great educators. As a mom of three, I know our children only get one chance at an education. We must invest in neighborhood public schools, expand career and technical education, and ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed—not continue diverting resources away from the public schools that serve the vast majority of Florida's children.
