“Today, I voted against H. Res. 183 because it failed to specifically condemn the remarks made by Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (D-Minn). Her vile, anti-Semitic remarks should have been specifically condemned in this resolution, but instead, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle decided to look the other way. I will not be complicit in the trivializing of her behavior. Anti-Semitic behavior of all forms must be condemned—that’s what this was about.”

“As a Veteran and a member of the Veterans’ Affairs Committee, I know the importance of listening to Veterans to ensure they are receiving the care they deserve. This bill will direct the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to partner with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NAS) to conduct a small-scale study to review the findings from a previous radiation dose assessment (RDA) conducted by the Department of Defense (DOD). If there are discrepancies in the original RDA, I’m determined to get to the bottom of it.”

“It is important to commemorate this momentous anniversary. My hope is that with this Resolution we will shine a light on this often overlooked piece of American history. The Adams-Onís Treaty is not only an important part of my state’s heritage, but also the heritage of the United States. The Treaty paved the way for the later completion of the Louisiana Purchase and led to tremendous contributions to the United States economy from the Sunshine State.”

“Sound environmental policy is critical to the preservation and advancement of Florida’s economy and the way of life we enjoy as Floridians. Going back to my time in the state legislature, I have been dedicated to addressing Florida’s water quality issues by supporting infrastructure projects that address polluted runoff, as well as other environmental policy initiatives that protect our water and lands. Now, in Congress, I am doing everything I can to address these problems—red tide, Lake Okeechobee water levels, septic to sewer transitions in rural communities, etc.—and I’m committed to working with state, local, and federal officials to mitigate the troubling water issues our state has encountered.”

“Clearly, the Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee don’t care about preventing gun violence, they simply are playing politics with Americans’ Second Amendment rights. The fact that Democrats do not want law enforcement notified if an individual attempting to purchase a firearm fails a background check is truly troubling.”

“President Trump delivered an inspiring message to the country; a message that spoke to the
enormous strides his administration has made, and a challenge for us to do even better in the
weeks and months ahead.”

“I am thrilled to share the news that the people of Florida’s 17th district will have strong representation on a range of important issues facing our nation. My appointment to these committees will ensure I will fight in support of a wall on our southern border, protect taxpayer dollars from waste, fraud, and abuse, and that our veterans will have one of their own fighting for them in Congress.”
