It prevents developers from splitting one project among multiple buildings, parcels, phases, utility accounts, or affiliated companies.

Politics is local. That is what this fight against AI data centers has proven. This issue has brought together Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, MAGA voters, and people who do not care about party labels at all. Around Escambia County, people may disagree on national politics, but they agree on this: our water, property rights, privacy, and community should not be sold out to Big Tech. I am proud to have support from people across all parties in this movemen

Francesca Yabrian, who is running for the Florida House District 1 seat, speaks against Flock, AI data center Francesca Yabraian, a candidate for Florida House District 1, opposed AI data centers and Flock cameras. Yabrian referenced her background in Information Technology and emergency management to make her point. “This is a violation of people's due process rights,” Yabraian said, warning officials of a potential class-action lawsuit and state legislation aimed at shuttin

As someone with more than 20 years of experience in Information Technology and a former Emergency Management Specialist at DHS Headquarters, I believe residents of Escambia County deserve answers before a massive AI data center is approved in our community. If Microsoft, hospitals, energy companies, water systems, and government networks have all been targeted by cyberattacks, why should we assume an AI data center here would be immune?

Francesca Yabraian’s bipartisan issues focus on common-sense solutions for Florida families, including affordable housing, stronger schools, lower insurance costs, healthcare access, voting rights, freedom of speech, and equal protection under the law.

Florida families are being crushed by rising housing costs and skyrocketing insurance bills. Michelle Salzman has been in office since 2020, but District 1 still has no emergency relief plan, no special session, and no real public accountability. Francesca Yabraian wrote the Florida Housing & Insurance Emergency Relief Act because talking is not leadership — action is.

Medicaid should help Floridians get healthcare when they need it—but right now, too many low-income adults are left uninsured, care is confusing, and politics is getting in the way of real solutions. While Michelle Salzman spreads fear about Medicaid expansion, Francesca Yabraian is focused on facts: expanding access, improving quality, simplifying care, and helping families stay healthy and financially secure. Floridians deserve healthcare policy based on truth—not scare tac

Floridians are feeling the pressure every day. Rent is rising, homeowner insurance costs are out of control, and too many families are wondering how much longer they can afford to stay in their homes. That is why I am working on legislation focused on lowering housing costs, bringing down insurance costs, and restoring fairness for Florida families. If you work hard, you should be able to afford to live here. Florida families deserve a system that works for them—not against t

lorida made a promise in 1992 when it created the Sadowski Act: money collected from real estate transactions would be used for affordable housing. For years, it worked—helping families, building affordable homes, and repairing unsafe housing. But when politicians began sweeping those funds for other uses, Florida families paid the price. It’s time to keep housing money for housing, demand accountability, and elect leaders who will put families before politics.

Florida made a promise to use housing money for housing. But for years, funds meant to build affordable homes, repair unsafe housing, and help families stay housed were redirected elsewhere. Now Floridians are paying the price through rising rents, unaffordable home prices, and growing housing insecurity. It’s time to protect affordable housing funds, demand accountability, and put Florida families first.

Florida’s marijuana laws should protect public safety without punishing patients or weakening constitutional rights. SB 2514 is already law, and proposed “open container” cannabis rules raise serious questions about fairness, proof, and due process. When cannabis enforcement relies on suspicion instead of clear evidence, medical marijuana patients and people with low-level records can face life-changing consequences. Florida should focus on transparency, second chances, and p

Florida believes in hard work, family, and following the law—but people need a clear, fair way to do that. The Florida Immigrant Support and Growth Act is a practical proposal focused on legal work, tax contributions, stronger families, and safer communities. Instead of creating fear and confusion, Florida should build systems that support responsibility, strengthen the workforce, and help our economy grow.

House Bill 991 and Senate Bill 1334 raise serious concerns about voting access, added costs, and harsh penalties for Floridians who are simply trying to make their voices heard. Francesca Yabraian is calling out these bills because democracy should not come with hidden fees, transportation barriers, or legal traps for eligible voters. District 1 deserves a representative who will defend working families, protect voting rights, and put Floridians—not political games—first.

HB 433 raises serious concerns about access to justice, free speech, and accountability for Florida families. When laws make it harder for everyday people to challenge powerful corporations, communities lose one of their strongest protections. Francesca Yabraian is calling for leadership that defends constitutional rights, protects clean water, and puts working families ahead of corporate influence. District 1 deserves a representative who will stand with the people—not the p

The Florida Rx Card helps some families save money on prescriptions, but the savings are not guaranteed—and too many Floridians are still paying too much for medicine. Francesca Yabraian believes Florida should do more by creating a state-run, centralized program that negotiates stronger discounts, guarantees lower prices on generic drugs, and makes affordable medicine easier to access. Healthcare should put people before profits, and no Floridian should have to choose betwee

This election comes down to a simple choice: who does your representative stand with? Michelle Salzman supported HB 837, a law that protects powerful corporations and weakens the ability of everyday Floridians to seek justice through a civil jury trial. Francesca Yabraian believes Florida must reverse HB 837, restore fairness, and put power back in the hands of the people.
