“Federal agencies are victims of burdensome red tape that hold up the hiring process and waste time and taxpayer dollars. Agencies should have the authority to hire their own employees and not be subjected to unnecessary regulations.”

“Unelected Big Tech CEOs should not be able to abuse the protections granted to them by Section 230 to block speech and withhold information from the public, just because it doesn’t suit their political beliefs. Their censorship has gone beyond simply acting as publishers and has reached the point of active and intentional election interference. They will be held accountable.”

“The so-called ‘solutions’ my Democrat colleagues have presented are inadequate and misguided. Their primary proposal, H.R. 3, is not only an egregious government overreach, but would negatively affect seniors by expanding entitlements and disregarding the Medicare trust fund. This could risk the ultimate failure of the entire program and almost certainly increase out-of-pocket costs for our seniors.”

“Our local infrastructure is key to maintaining safe and clean water. This is a massive achievement for our state and Charlotte County and is an incredible step towards cleaner water for Floridians. I look forward to working with these dedicated local officials and nonprofit organizations to fulfill our shared goals moving forward.”

“Though this year has presented our rural communities with a unique set of obstacles, our dedicated local officials have kept Highlands County safe and thriving. As we continue to work together on issues ranging from our response to the pandemic, empowering farmers, and protecting Florida’s veterans, I am grateful to be able to count on public servants like these for their capable and caring leadership.”

“The Tampa Bay Lightning had an incredible season and made Floridians proud with this year’s unforgettable Stanley Cup win. The Stanley Cup was the first major sports trophy awarded since the pandemic began, representing a truly historic and challenging season where players, coaches, and staff spent over two months away from their homes and families.”

“These students all impressed me with their academics and character. These are some of the best students to represent our district, and it is my honor to nominate them for their preferred military service academies. I wish them the best of luck as they move forward in the selection process.”

“During a time when our seniors are increasingly vulnerable to a global pandemic, President Trump has been a warrior for them and their families. From lowering healthcare costs to increasing innovation, America’s seniors now have more choices for their healthcare and lifestyle.”

“Those who fight to protect the freedoms we hold sacred should not be wrongfully deprived of their Second Amendment rights. Unfortunately, bureaucratic red tape is standing in the way of this foundational right for many our nation’s veterans, but we can fix this problem with a simple rule change.”

“Big Tech’s censorship efforts have nothing to do with true fact-checking or censoring private information – it has always been about targeting conservatives and censoring the truth to benefit the Democrat Party and their causes. Twitter and Big Tech will be held accountable for their blatant and un-American interference in our elections.”

“The Paycheck Protection Program was intended to help small businesses and non-profits keep their employees on payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic – not political organizations like the Florida Democrat Party. This is just another example of the left manipulating the COVID-19 crisis and the Paycheck Protection Program to advance their partisan priorities, and we will get to the bottom of this fraud.”

“Throughout the pandemic, many of our rural counties like Hardee have dealt with unique challenges and required specialized solutions from both the federal and local levels. We have made meaningful progress towards recovery, but there is still more work to be done to reopen our businesses, send our children back to school and keep Floridians healthy, both in Hardee County and beyond.”
