“After Speaker Pelosi has spent months refusing to negotiate with Republicans on additional relief, I was honored to support today’s discharge petition that permits already-appropriated funds to support our 501(c)(6) organizations like local chambers of commerce. With strong support for expanding eligibility for the Paycheck Protection Program to local chambers of commerce and nonprofits, it is sad that Speaker Pelosi and House Democrats are refusing to help these organizations that play critical roles in our small business communities.”

“Time after time, Democrats have tried to break the rules, disregard the Constitution and ignore the will of the American people to solidify their power and promote liberal judicial activism. In their most recent stunt, they have decided to threaten the future of our judicial system if President Trump and the Senate fulfill their Constitutional responsibility to nominate and confirm a Justice to fill the Supreme Court’s vacancy.”

“Our veterans sacrificed for our country’s security, and they should not be subjected to inefficient collection procedures. These heroes deserve the best care and should not be held fiscally responsible for the system’s failure to proactively capture the third-party billings that go uncollected.”

“It doesn’t make sense that our veterans have to pay fees for visiting memorials that were built in their honor. Its an honor to see my bipartisan legislation pass through the House of Representatives. Freeing our veterans from these fees is a small way to repay them for their service to our nation. We owe it to our veterans to find common ground in Congress, honor their service, and make their lives easier where we can.”

“Through this year with COVID-19, riots, and now an extremely active hurricane season, our National Guard members have risen to the challenge. While these dedicated men and women serve our country during times of crisis, the last thing they should worry about is blowback from their employers. Our legislation will stand up for these heroes and give them the respect they deserve during difficult times.”

“From day one, expanding access to care for veterans has been a top priority of mine in Congress. Our veterans who have sacrificed for their country earned and deserve the best medical care this country can provide. I am thankful for the progress we have made in bettering life for our veterans, and I look forward to more achievements in the future.”

“The organized violence we have seen over the past 90 days continues and is encouraged by left-wing leaders. It started with destroying property, converting peaceful protests into riots and spreading hate. Now, this hate has escalated to fuel deadly attacks on police officers and citizens caught in the carnage. A weak condemnation of the violence is not enough – we need to put all of government resources into the fight to stop the violence once and for all.”

“We know now the full extent to which top level officials within the FBI abused their power to attempt a political takedown of President Trump and his 2016 campaign. The American people deserve answers and the country deserves justice – all those responsible for this deep state corruption should be held accountable and face jail time.”

“After serving our nation, America’s heroes deserve top-notch care for themselves and their families. These bipartisan pieces of legislation will not only provide extra resources for an underserved aspect of VA health care, but will also protect their children from predators in child care facilities.”

“Even as we celebrate successes like coming to the close of the Kissimmee River Restoration Project and achieving new funding streams from the federal and State levels, there is still more work to be done to protect Florida’s water sources and environment. Our continued cooperation with State, local, and other federal officials will lead to more even victories for Florida’s vibrant economic and environmental interests.”

“Water is the lifeblood of Florida. From our springs and beaches to the Everglades and Lake Okeechobee, water quality is a top issue for Florida’s economic and environmental interests. I’m honored to join President Trump to highlight the environmental achievements made possible by the projects I supported at the State and federal levels over the past several years.”

“Florida agriculture is the backbone of our State’s economy, yet our farmers, ranchers, and producers have suffered from Mexico’s trade-distorting practices for far too long. Though we still have more progress to make, this is an important first step towards empowering our farmers and prioritizing the dire needs of our agriculture communities.”
