30,000 new neighbors since 2018. Same number of state-funded school seats. Same number of pediatricians who take Medicaid.
Wesley Chapel is the fastest-growing Census-Designated Place in District 23. The subdivision count tripled between 2018 and 2024. The state's capital and operating funding did not. New schools are being built; existing schools are 130% over capacity. New residents are insured; pediatricians who take Medicaid are months out. The arithmetic is failing the families who just moved here.
Florida is one of ten states that still refuses Medicaid expansion. Pasco County has 47,000 residents in the coverage gap. Wesley Chapel families are paying out of pocket for what their tax dollars already cover for residents of every neighboring state.
The 2023 capital-funding cuts to fast-growth counties broke Pasco's school construction pipeline. Restore the Public Education Capital Outlay allocation. Pasco needs three new K-8 facilities in the next four years; the funding source is not theoretical.
Bruce B. Downs is a state road. The Florida Department of Transportation has had the corridor study in hand since 2020. Move the project from 'planning' to 'construction' with a 2027 ground-break. State Senate transportation seat is the lever.

“I called every pediatrician in 33543 that takes our coverage. The first available was twelve weeks out. We drove to Brandon. Maya is the only candidate who has said the word 'expansion' out loud.
