“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.”

“Selective editorializing from platforms like Twitter is not only a threat to our First Amendment, but it also endangers free and fair elections. The evidence against Big Tech is overwhelming and these companies need to be held accountable for their clear ideological discrimination against conservatives. If Big Tech can’t be fair and balanced, they should not receive any immunities under Section 230.”

“We owe it to our future generations to be good stewards of the environment and protect Florida’s waterways while controlling invasive plant species in Lake Okeechobee. There is no need for dangerous chemicals like diquat and glyphosate when we have safer alternatives like mechanical harvesting that will protect our waterways and keep Florida’s families healthy.”

Press Release
“Over 3.5 million Floridians are enrolled in some form of Medicare prescription drug coverage. With so many of my fellow Floridians and constituents dependent on life-saving prescriptions, I understand the need for affordable drug prices. Despite the efforts of Republicans to make bipartisan progress to reform the prescription drug standards, our Democrat colleagues refuse to collaborate.”

“Republicans are also committed to peaceful transitions of power. Democrats have been the ones to contest presidential elections. They contested the 2000 election. They contested the 2004 election, and Democrats still refuse to believe that President Trump won the 2016 election fair and square. The real question today is, will the Democrats accept the results of the election?”

Press Release
“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.”

Press Release
“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.”

Press Release
“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."
