"Agriculture is the lifeblood of Florida and a crucial component of our economy, bringing food to the tables of millions of families across America. At a time when producers and growers are already suffering, we should not be giving foreign producers an unfair advantage over American producers. This will only exacerbate the challenges our farmers are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic."

"Everyone in this chamber wants justice for George Floyd and his family. And they will get that, in a court of law, where justice belongs. If the Democratic majority truly wants to reform our police departments and If they truly want to fix the problems, then the focus should be on the agencies with the problems and their leadership. Not passing a progressive messaging bill in an election year that you know has no chance at becoming law."

“We all pray for justice for George Floyd but demands to defund the police spring from an outburst of political emotion, not a thoughtful discussion of public safety reforms. Law enforcement is here to protect and serve all Americans – defunding public safety won’t solve any problems and only poses an extraordinary risk to our citizens who depend on society’s most basic governmental service of protecting life and property.”

“Our less populated and rural counties must never be forgotten. The quality of life of our citizens must be maintained through the economic crisis caused by COVID-19. Ensuring that local governments do not add to the unemployment roll and maintain the everyday service used by residents is key to ensuring continuity and enabling a return to normalcy as the State reopens. I am pleased that Governor DeSantis has fulfilled our request to assist to rural counties in need.”
