Global Recession
Abortion
Abortion laws are controversial in Floria. The Church of Floria strictly bans abortion as a standalone right but permits it in exceptional cases. Abortion by request has been illegal since 1728 and Social Democrats have campaigned to reintroduce that right. United Republicans will continue to restrict its legality.
Border security and immigration
Border security and immigration have become among the top issues concerning potential voters in the election. Polling has shown that most Florians want to reduce immigration and that a substantial minority of white United Republicans are concerned about the demographic decline of native Florians. A Surge of migrants entering through the border with neighbouring countries has occurred. Illegal crossings reached an all-time high in 1736 with both candidates concerned about the country's border security both announcing plans to cut down or eliminate illegal immigration.
Gun laws
Democracy
Education
Hutchinson has pledged to terminate the Department of Education and replace the control of education at the state level. Adam proposed that teachers under her administration would gain a significant payrise.
LGBTQ rights
Since the last election, there has been a significant push for LGBTQ+ rights, with the focus mostly on policies affecting transgender individuals and the use of IVF for lesbian couples.
Rachael Adams has affirmed support for LGBTQ+ rights and criticised legislation for being "outdated compared to the rest of the planet" and Floria should work towards improving its human rights.
Hutchinson has outlined plans to modify current policies regarding transgender individuals if elected. His proposed policies include facility access and pronoun usage for transgender students being rescinded establishing federal recognition of binary gender categories, and restricting certain surgical procedures and hormone therapies for children. Hutchinson has stood by not changing other LGBT+ rights stating that the Church of Floria must be respected and that citizens must follow its rules.
