“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.”

"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."

"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.
