Property insurance costs
What They Say
Government rules and state programs keep pushing your insurance higher. We will cut those rules and open the market so more companies compete for your business. More competition means lower premiums for Florida homeowners.

Source:scottjewett.com (opens in a new tab)· From the candidate· retrievedScott and Regina live in Boca Raton, where they face the same insurance premiums, property costs, and everyday pressures that millions of their neighbors know all too well. For Scott, this isn't abstract policy; it's personal. He has drafted concrete proposals to reform Florida's broken homeowners insurance system because he's lived the frustration of paying far more in premiums than is ever paid back in claims. He is the only candidate who has attended the legislative sessions in person, and he's fighting to eliminate property tax for every homestead homeowner in the state.
