Securing The Border Top GOP Priority As Migrant Crisis Escalates

Dear Neighbor,

As the border crisis continues to escalate, migrants are pouring into our country by the millions—3.5 million since Joe Biden took office, to be exact. Although the administration still won't admit this is a crisis, they're now asking our nation's military to assist with the influx. What's more, fentanyl is coming across our border at record rates, and the DEA has now issued warnings to parents about candy this Halloween season. 

Notwithstanding the litany of crises this administration has created, the catastrophe at our southern border has gone on far too long. As part of House Republicans' Commitment to America, we're committed to creating a nation that's safe and putting a stop to this crisis.

With all that's happening this Congress, it is my greatest honor to represent you and hear from you about the issues that matter most. You can read below about what we've been up to this week, and as always, you can stay up to date with us here, on our website, and on TwitterFacebookInstagram, and YouTube.

In Liberty,

 DEA Issues Warning To Parents Ahead Of Halloween Due To Recent Fentanyl Trend

Image

As Halloween approaches, the annual reminders to stay vigilant with candy and other holiday treats returns! Fentanyl pills shaped like candy marketed to children are lethal, and it only takes one pill to kill.

These pills are in communities across the country due to the Biden Border Crisis, and no family deserves the tragedy of losing a child or loved one to this horrific drug. Take the time to learn about fentanyl poisoning and talk to your kids about identifying these dangers.

DHS Seeking Military Volunteers To Help With Migrant Crisis At Border

Image

On Monday, I joined Cavuto: Coast to Coast to discuss the latest Biden scheme—recruiting military volunteers to help manage the crisis at the border. They're now asking our nation's military to help with everything from running to the pharmacy to pick up prescriptions, managing migrants' belongings, and more.

This is shameful, and we wouldn't be in this mess if Biden took this crisis seriously. We need to secure our southern border, and Republicans have a plan to do just that.

Celebrating Freedom of Speech Week

Image

Happy Freedom of Speech Week! We are so fortunate to live in a country that protects the ability of its citizens to speak freely—a right that many around the world never experience. In Congress, I’ve been fortunate to lead several efforts that emphasize the importance of free speech, including co-chairing the House Campus Free Speech Caucus and serving on the Future of American Freedoms Task Force.


Touring Damage To Florida's Citrus Crop Following Hurricane Ian

Image

Last week, I joined Congressman Scott Franklin and Senator Marco Rubio for a visit to see the damage to Florida's citrus crop from Hurricane Ian. While crop yields were already lower than expected due to citrus greening and strong freezes, the hurricane's damage has presented a new challenge.

If there's any industry ready to come back stronger, it's Florida's signature crop. Our growers are strong, resilient, and equipped to combat the unique challenges they face. We're with them every step of the way and are doing all we can at the federal level to support our producers.


Uncovering Fraud Related To Misused COVID-19 Funds

Image

On Tuesday, I joined the Evening Edit on Fox Business in-studio to discuss findings by the Department of Labor confirming the misuse of COVID-19 funds. During the pandemic, billions of dollars went to fraudsters and congressional Democrats know this, but have done nothing to hold anyone accountable. One of the key pillars of the GOP's Commitment To America is a government that is transparent and honest with the American people.

Making The Tax Cuts & Jobs Act Permanent

Image

The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) was a critical piece of Republican legislation that delivered relief for American families. We need it now more than ever to help American families struggling with inflation. H.R. 8913, the TCJA Permanency Act will:

  • Make permanent tax cuts for individuals and small businesses
  • Allow parents with 529 plans to utilize money they save on homeschooling costs
  • Eliminate the student loan forgiveness exclusion
  • Preserve the 20 percent deduction for small businesses
  • Simplify the tax filing process

Amid record-high inflation we're experiencing due to the Biden administration's reckless policies, I'm proud to co-sponsor this bill and its pro-growth provisions.


Recognizing National Adoption Week

Image

This week, we're recognizing National Adoption Week which seeks to improve the level of awareness surrounding adoption and find homes for children. As we wrap up National Adoption Week, we're recognizing the importance of adoption and making it more accessible and affordable to families who open their homes and their hearts. We've made this an important part of Republicans' Commitment To America and our family-centered focus next Congress.

Visiting Dakin Dairy Farms In Myakka City

Image

Last week we visited Dakin Dairy Farms in Myakka City, Florida while assessing some of the damage to our agricultural operations following Hurricane Ian. Dakin Dairy is a family-owned operation providing fresh milk and other dairy products to Floridians since 1973! It was a pleasure to speak with the family and the team who keeps the operation going strong.

As the lone Florida Republican on the House Agriculture Committee, I'm committed to supporting our farmers, ranchers, and producers across the state who work hard to keep our state fed.


Touring The Middleburg VA Clinic In Clay County

Image

Last week I visited the Middleburg VA Clinic in Clay County! I got to meet with some of the staff at the facility and check out some of the latest technology and facility updates to better serve our veterans in Florida's Third Congressional District and the surrounding area.

The North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System works hard to provide excellent care for our heroes and we're fortunate to have a great team right in our backyard.
