Dear Neighbor,

This week was all about bringing more opportunities home to North Central Florida and hearing from the hardworking folks who make Florida’s Third District the best in the nation!

We helped deliver $3 million for Florida Gateway College's new construction trades center and kept up the push for water infrastructure funding for our counties. I also sat down with community leaders and business owners to hear what's holding them back. I'm taking that straight to Washington.

In the news, I talked about H.Res. 500, my resolution to require background checks for House staff, and my work as Chair of the Republican Women's Caucus to combat sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill. The People's House should set the standard for accountability.

Whether I’m helping create opportunities here at home or fighting to clean up Congress, my mission is clear: deliver results for North Central Florida and make sure Washington works for you.

As always, thank you for the trust you place in me to serve as your voice in Washington.

For the Republic,

Congresswoman Kat Cammack                                                                                            Proudly Representing Florida's Third Congressional District

Florida Gateway College Press Conference 

I joined Florida Gateway College in Lake City to announce $3 million for workforce training, the largest federal grant in the college’s history!

This funding will help build a new Building Construction Technology Center, including a 4,800-square-foot construction lab, and launch new trade programs for students across our rural communities. These opportunities will help students learn a trade and prepare for good-paying jobs close to home. Team Kat proudly sent a letter of support backing FGC's application.

Thank you to Dr. Barrett, Dr. McIntire, and the entire FGC team for your commitment to our students and North Central Florida’s next generation of builders! 

Speer Aviation Site Visit

I visited Speer Aviation in Live Oak to tour the facility and hear directly from owners Stephanie and Chris Speer about the challenges facing their small business and rural aviation.

Our local airports and small businesses keep North Central Florida connected and create opportunities in our rural communities. Hearing firsthand what’s working and what needs to change helps me bring their concerns to Washington and fight for the support they need to thrive.

Thank you to Stephanie, Chris, and the Speer Aviation team for welcoming me and sharing a great day on the runway!

Northeast Florida Economic Development Corporation Annual Clay Shoot and Meeting

It was great to join the Northeast Florida Economic Development Corporation (NEFEDC) in Bradford County to discuss our efforts to strengthen local economies and create new opportunities for our communities.

I shared an update on the $50 million in water infrastructure funding authority we advanced through the House and the $3 million FGC grant. From infrastructure to workforce training, these investments help our communities attract businesses and prepare residents for new jobs.

Thank you to Danny Stefanelli, Amber Shepherd, and the NEFEDC team for your partnership. I’m proud to work alongside you to bring more good-paying jobs to North Central Florida.

Suwannee River Water Management District Roundtable

I sat down with leaders from the Suwannee River Water Management District to hear where they're running into challenges and how Team Kat can help.

Here in North Central Florida, our farmers and families depend on our water, and our rivers and springs are part of what makes this place home. We need to protect those resources while making sure our communities have what they need to grow.

That’s why I worked to secure $50 million in new water infrastructure funding authority for Florida’s Third Congressional District in the House-passed Water Resources Development Act of 2026. I’ll keep fighting to get it across the finish line and help our communities meet their infrastructure needs.

The Rob Carson Show

This week, I joined Rob Carson on Newsmax to discuss H.Res. 500, my resolution to require criminal background checks for House staff. 

There is currently no background check requirement for Congressional staff, even though staffers hold positions of public trust with access to sensitive information. The People’s House should set the standard for accountability. If you're trusted to work for the American people, a background check should be the bare minimum.

The Situation Room

I joined CNN with my colleague, Rep. Leger Fernández, to discuss our bipartisan working group to combat sexual misconduct on Capitol Hill.

As chairs of the Republican and Democratic Women’s Caucuses, we’re working together to strengthen the reporting process, improve how allegations are handled, and ensure Members of Congress are held accountable. Everyone who works in the People’s House deserves a safe workplace and a process they can trust.
