“Our first legislative priority is intended to reestablish faith in the integrity of our elections. If we don’t work to ensure our citizens have confidence in our election process then this body is not addressing a major reason for division in our country. All Americans want their voices to matter – this legislation is an opportunity for Congress to work with the states to ensure that every legal ballot is counted in a process that is fair, transparent and verifiable.”

“For three years, Democrat Members of this body and the mainstream media lied to the American people that the Trump campaign colluded and conspired with Russia. After an exhaustive investigation, it was found that there was no evidence that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Should Democrat Members of this body resign for lying to the American people, repeatedly? And sowing division and dissension all across America and it was all a lie.”

“Aside from the clear Constitutional violations of this flawed approach to impeachment 2.0, House Democrats continue to defy their own calls for unity and peace. Instead of focusing on our shared path forward, they would rather create double standards, irresponsibly cast blame on others for political gain, and indefinitely fuel the divisiveness we’ve seen.”

“The American people should all demand equal treatment, especially in the public square. Our country’s founding and entire system of government prides itself on our ability for citizens to have different views without being suppressed or censored. Through this legislation, we can reform Section 230 and ensure that Big Tech will be held accountable for revoking accounts and selectively censoring conservative content on a partisan basis.”

“We have a solemn responsibility to ensure the integrity of our elections. As elected officials we need to address the Constitutional violations and irregularities that have marred this election. At all levels of government, the United States relies on the faith the American people have in our electoral system. If we ignore and fail to investigate blatant improprieties in these four closely contested states, we let honest votes be altered, lost, or cancelled out by fraudulent votes. Without taking on this challenge to assure an honest election, we would irreparably fail our constituents – and country – now and into the future.”

“As Representatives, we were sent to Washington to stand up for our Constitutional rights and uphold every American’s individual freedoms. If Democrats can violate one of our most foundational rights to bear arms here – even in the halls of Congress – they can violate your rights anywhere in the country.”

“When the rules don’t work for the Democrats, they change them. This package is yet another example of the left’s dangerous attempts to manipulate our entire system of government to fulfill their radical progressive agenda. Their dangerous power grab does not only take away rights from the minority party Members, but also completely silences the voices of the millions of Americans we represent.”

“Today, as we convene the 117th Congress, all Members of Congress take the oath of office. This oath is our public affirmation to support the U.S. Constitution. It should serve to remind every Member that our actions and policies serve the citizens of our districts and the greater common good of the nation. As Speaker Pelosi maintains the gavel for the House and signals her intent to advance a radical progressive agenda, we should all reflect on this oath and question the Democrats’ rejection of the principles that have guided our government for more than two centuries. Entering this new session, I am honored to serve the 17th Congressional District of Florida and will continue to stand up for our shared values and sacred American freedoms.”

“We understand the economic hardship inflicted by COVID-19, but Americans don’t need inadequate stimulus checks and forced government dependency to get them back on their feet. Rather than prolonging economic suffering with failing, irresponsible legislation, our country needs to follow the lead of states like Florida and give Americans incentives and the opportunity to return to their jobs and normal lives.”

“We know that the threat from Communist China is dire as they attempt to infiltrate our universities, intelligence communities, and even our highest levels of government. At a minimum, we need to remove Eric Swalwell from the Intelligence Committee and demand a thorough and immediate investigation into his ties with Fang Fang. Anything less would be a threat to our national security and complete failure on behalf of the American people.”

“This so-called relief bill fails to target the needs of citizens in our District and fails to bring much-needed relief to our fellow countrymen. Instead of addressing the economic suffering of Americans, Democrats have run the clock down so debate and meaningful compromise is impossible. Their solution is to manipulate this process to include their radical agenda of defunding ICE, elements of the Green New Deal and to skyrocket unnecessary federal spending. We are left with a choice – give in again or reject this misguided legislation as a signal that we demand targeted aid for our citizens.”

“The volunteers and community heroes here in the 17th District are what makes our community and the state of Florida so special. As we begin to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important to bring our neighbors together and recognize the heroes who dedicate themselves to bettering our community.”
