Dear Neighbor,
This week Acting FEMA Administrator Cam Hamilton visited Cedar Key and Horseshoe Beach with me and FDEM Director Kevin Guthrie. After the failures by FEMA during our last hurricanes under the Biden administration, it's clear changes must be made to ensure our communities have the resources necessary to recover.
During Acting Administrator Hamilton's visit, we spoke with stakeholders in Horseshoe Beach and Cedar Key about what our communities on the coast need most when disasters strike. It's clear a coordinated effort between local and state authorities isn't where problems lie, but rather when FEMA gets involved at the federal level. Our conversations were tremendously productive and I look forward to sharing more soon about what to expect this hurricane season.
On Wednesday, several groups from around the district visited our Gainesville District Office. From Gainesville Democrats to the SPCA of Ocala, we had productive in-person conversations that will continue into the future. Thank you to everyone who visited and shared their perspectives with me and my team.
Next week the House is back in session and we have several big announcements planned! Stay tuned to see the updates in next week's newsletter.
Finally, our very own Florida Gators play tonight in Raleigh, NC in the first round of the NCAA March Madness Tournament. Tune in at 6:50pm on TNT to see them take on Norfolk State tonight. Go Gators!
With all that's happening this new 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. |
