She Sat on Her Hands While Housing Costs Exploded. Now It’s Time to Give Salzman the Boot.

Florida families are not imagining the crisis. Rent is too high. Homeownership is slipping out of reach. Insurance bills are crushing working families, seniors, and homeowners across Northwest Florida.

And while families have been fighting to stay housed, Michelle Salzman has been in office since 2020.

That matters.

These are the same years Florida’s housing and insurance crisis exploded. District 1 families needed urgency. They needed public accountability. They needed someone willing to demand emergency action before things got worse.

Talking to Who?

Michelle Salzman says she has been “talking to people.”

Voters deserve to ask: talking to who?

Renters being priced out? Homeowners drowning in insurance bills? Seniors on fixed incomes? Working families trying to stay in District 1?

Or lobbyists, insiders, and political friends behind closed doors?

Because families did not need private conversations. They needed public accountability.

They needed a public town hall in District 1 on housing and insurance.

They needed a push for a special session.

They needed a comprehensive emergency relief plan.

Instead, they got vague claims about conversations while costs kept going up.

Talking is not leadership.

Action is.

District 1 Needed More Than Excuses

If Salzman was truly treating this like the emergency families know it is, where was her own dedicated public town hall in District 1 focused on housing and insurance?

Where was the public pressure for a special session?

Where was the comprehensive emergency relief plan?

Participating in broader legislative meetings is not the same as leading a public, district-focused response to a crisis. District 1 families deserve more than vague claims and political cover. They deserve direct answers, public accountability, and action.

Francesca Wrote the Plan Salzman Never Did

That is why Francesca Yabraian wrote the Florida Housing & Insurance Emergency Relief Act.

This plan is focused on the people being squeezed from every direction: renters facing rising costs, homeowners trapped by insurance bills, seniors on fixed incomes, working parents trying to stay in their homes, and young people wondering if they will ever be able to afford a future here.

The plan puts working families first by pushing for real relief, stronger insurance accountability, renter protections, action against housing speculation, and support for families before they are forced out.

Michelle Salzman had years to lead on this issue.

She had years to demand urgency.

She had years to bring forward a serious affordability plan.

She did not.

Now that Francesca is forcing the issue, Salzman wants to look busy.

That is not leadership.

That is pressure.

District 1 Deserves Real Representation

District 1 deserves someone who will fight before families are desperate — not after the political heat turns up.

We deserve a representative who is accountable to the public, brings forward real solutions, and does not wait for someone else to do the work.

Francesca has her boots on and is ready to fight for Northwest Florida.

It is time for real representation.

It is time to give Salzman the boot.
