Dear Neighbor,

This week was the first of four scheduled Washington weeks. 

In the news this week were college students at UCLA, Columbia University, George Washington University, and dozens of others protesting against Israel. Meanwhile at the University of Florida, university leaders took a strong stance, with President Ben Sasse declaring that UF is not a daycare and that violations of university policy wouldn't be tolerated. I'm proud of UF for standing up to protect free speech while protecting Jewish students on campus. We will continue doing everything we can to protect our Jewish community and to make it clear that antisemitism will not be tolerated. 

In the Weaponization Subcommittee this week, a former Biden administration official appeared to attempt to defend the Biden White House's censorship of social media. When I asked Rob Flaherty, the former White House Director of Digital Strategy, about the First Amendment, he couldn't name all five freedoms. It's embarrassing and a little disappointing but not all that surprising coming from the Biden administration.

Finally, tomorrow morning is our Service Academy Day in Ocala. Join us at Trinity Catholic High School to learn more about serving our nation through one of our nation's service academies. Take a look below for all of the details. 

I'll be back in the district this weekend and look forward to seeing folks before heading back to D.C. Monday. Wishing you and your family a great weekend. 

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 X, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

For the Republic,

Congresswoman Kat Cammack                                                                                Proudly Representing Florida's Third Congressional District

Service Academy Day Tomorrow

Tomorrow is our annual Service Academy Day! Join us from 9am to 12 noon at Trinity Catholic High School in Ocala to hear from representatives from each of our nation's military academies. We look forward to seeing you there. 

Spending Time With Florida's Firefighting Equipment Manufacturers

This week the Firefighting Equipment Manufacturers were in town, including representatives from Ocala's own E-One! We discussed the Assistance to Firefighter Grants (AFG) and the Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grants (SAFER), which provide support for local departments across the country and ensure our firefighters are as equipped to serve our communities as possible.

As the wife to a firefighter myself, I'm so grateful for all these groups do to support the men and women who keep us safe.

Flaherty Flounders On First Amendment

The former Director of Digital Strategy at the White House appeared before the Weaponization Subcommittee Wednesday to talk about the White House's violations of free speech.

I asked him to name the five freedoms outlined in the First Amendment and he couldn't do it. Embarrassing and disappointing, but certainly not surprising coming from a Biden administration official.

Condemning On-Campus Antisemitic Protests Across The Country

College campuses are not daycare centers! Shout out to President Sasse and the UF team for taking an unequivocal stance that we will protect free speech but will not tolerate violence.

I shared a Facebook Live on Wednesday morning breaking everything down. Take a look below. 

Thank You, D.C. Spring Interns!

As April came to a close earlier this week, we said goodbye to this semester's D.C. interns, (from L to R) Jordan, Hannah, Paulina, and Alon (not pictured). They worked hard all spring giving Capitol tours, answering constituent phone calls, assisting with research, and more! Some of them are headed to the real-world for jobs after graduation while others still have a few more years to complete in school.

Thanks for all your hard work this semester and Go Gators!

Happy National Small Business Week

Wishing a Happy National Small Business Week to all of our small businesses in Florida's Third. We are grateful for all our community leaders do to make our region the best place to live, work, and play! Make sure to visit your favorite small business this week.

Condemning Antisemitism On College Campuses

This week I joined Newsmax to discuss the ongoing anti-Israel protests on college campuses across the country. The University of Florida in right here in Florida's Third has taken a strong stance against illegal demonstration activity saying "college is not a daycare."

I applauded the University of Florida and President Ben Sasse's leadership while condemning the protests across the country that have threatened Jewish students' safety.
