The Webster Wire

Listening to Floridians

Dear Friends:

Securing our borders is one of my top priorities. Last year, after Republicans gained the majority of the U.S. House, one of our first actions was to pass H.R. 2 a comprehensive border security bill. This bill included two bills that I cosponsored - the Finish the Wall Act and H.R. 2737, the Stop the Invasion Act.

Last week, I visited the Southern Border in Eagle Pass, Texas along with Speaker Mike Johnson and nearly 60 House Republicans. I was able to get a first-hand update on how President Biden’s failed policies have perpetuated the crisis at our southern border. During our visit, we heard from border patrol agents, local landowners, federal, state, and local officials on how President Biden’s open border policies have affected border communities and the operations at the southern border. While the Biden Administration attempts to downplay the extent of this crisis, I witnessed the desperate need for policy change. Following my trip, I am determined as ever to keep pushing the U.S. Senate and White House to embrace policies and legislation that secures our borders and sensibly reforms our immigration laws.

Speaking Out for Our Veterans

I recently wrote Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) Secretary Denis McDonough expressing my deep concern regarding the removal of mileage reimbursement kiosks from VA facilities across the country, which are being replaced by the online Beneficiary Travel Self Service System (BTSSS). I have heard numerous concerns from Veterans that the removal of mileage reimbursement kiosks from VA facilities have created significant barriers for trying to access their hard earned benefits. I remain committed in ensuring that our Veterans receive the support and services they need without unnecessary obstacles. If you or a veteran you know needs assistance with an issue before the VA, please contact my office. We are here to serve you.

Constituent Corner

A constituent contacted our office as the IRS claimed their Form 7004 was late and charged a late penalty, an additional fee, and interest. The constituent was able to provide a USPS Certified Mail receipt showing that the form was postmarked prior to the filing deadline. Upon reviewing the information our office provided to them, the IRS removed the penalty and fee from their account.

Constituent services is a critical element of our congressional office. My office resolved more than 1,800 cases for constituents in 2023. The federal government is a massive operation, and my office is available if you ever need assistance in navigating the bureaucracy or cutting through red tape. We are here to serve you.
