The Platform — Joseph Hoolihan for Florida House, District 71

Six priorities for Manatee County, in Joseph's own words. Joseph Hoolihan is a small business owner who helps families get into homes, running to represent Florida House District 71, covering Manatee County including Bradenton and Anna Maria Island.

01. Artificial Intelligence for Good

Responsible AI that works for people, not against them. Smart innovation with common-sense guardrails, written now while we still can.

02. Affordable Homes and NO STRs

Owning, keeping and enjoying a home shouldn't be so hard. Extreme taxes, inflated insurance premiums and the influx of short term rental investment properties have become a real problem for locals.

03. Stronger Families, Smarter Kids

Strong schools, real fitness, and competitive sports programs for all ages, with schools that stay open and honest with families and an education that prepares kids for the future.

04. Sports Tourism That Powers Manatee

From IMG Academy and Pirates spring training to our beaches and public sports complexes, recreation fuels our local economy.

05. Back the Badge & First Responders

Back our police, firefighters, EMTs, nurses and doctors with the equipment, staffing and pay to do the job right.

06. Community Matters More Than Ever

Responsible, accountable growth with the right infrastructure and real support for local people and small businesses.
