Rachel Burgin outlines her agenda if elected to Florida Senate

The first bill she is touting is the "Food Stamp Integrity Act", which upon first blush, looks similar to a proposal that Ronda Storms proposed earlier this year (Storms called her bill the "No Twinkie Left Behind Act.")

It would restrict what can be purchased using food stamps, so tax dollars are "reserved for nutritious items that keep families healthy".

In a press release Burgin adds that "taxpayer funded food stamps shouldn't be spent on Doritos and candy bars, but on staples like milk, bread, fruits and vegetables."

Although both conservatives and some liberals criticized Storms for the bill, she had some prominent backers in her corner, like New York Times food writer Mark Bittman

The second bill Burgin would propose is what she calls the "Abortion Accountability Act."

The Riverview Republican has been prominent in promulgating pro-life legislation during her two terms in the House, and obviously intends to keep that going in the Senate.

The "Abortion Accountability Act" requires a licensed physician to be present at all abortion procedures, as opposed to having a medical assistant or office administrator.

"While we fight to make abortion illegal," Burgin says, "We should also require doctors to be present and accountable to help keep women safe.

The third bill the would-be Senator is proposing is the "Empty Houses to Happy Homes Initiative", legislation that attempts to deal with the foreclosure crisis in Florida. It would exempt property taxes on a foreclosed home sold for two years for the family who purchases it.
