News of United Property & Casualty stopping insurance in Florida is just one part of a major crisis in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republican ran Legislature and the governor gave $2 Billion of our tax dollars to the reinsurance program last May 2022. This was done to so call prop up insurance companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, it is not helping since this would be the sixth company stopping providing insurance in Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Insurance Company of last resort, Citizens Insurance is now starting to not renew policies, also.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you elected me on Nov. 8, 2022, this insurance crisis is on the top of my priority list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have to use the state budget surplus to FREEZE homeowners insurance for the people rather than giving $2 billion to prop up the insurance companies. We have to HELP THE RESIDENTS and VOTERS<\/strong> with the state budget surplus rather than insurance companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first bill I\u2019m going to sponsor is the \u201cInsurance Equalization Bill\u201d in a nutshell it states that an insurance company offering auto insurance must also offer homeowner and rental policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another issue is that my opponent\u2019s homesteaded residence is NOT in District 77, and she cannot move her homestead exemption until Jan 2023 after the election. So she is not qualified to take office even if she wins, Florida statute states that State Reps take office at midnight on the day of the election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As YOUR candidate for District 77 Florida House of Representative I believe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We Can Make Lehigh Acres have a better QUALITY OF LIFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Education is a PRIORITY FOR LEHIGH ACRES Families and Students<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing needed funds for local Public Safety FIRE and POLICE is a must<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EPA Environmental protection of Lehigh Acres waterways is a MUST<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And we MUST STOP WASTE \u2026 ALL WASTE<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please VOTE for Eric Engelhart the only candidate that lives in District 77<\/p>\n\n\n\n
