Dear Neighbor,
As we enter the new year, we are faced by mounting challenges posed by the COVID pandemic, economic stagnation, rising inflation, and supply chain disruptions. Even with all of these problems that we face, the new year offers an opportunity to start anew and bring solutions to the table to help all Americans.
I’m thankful to be spending the first days of this new year at home in North Central Florida visiting with my constituents. It is important for me to be on the ground hearing from folks about the challenges that they are facing in this new year. It continues to be an incredible honor to represent the great people of Florida’s Third Congressional District in Congress.
With all that’s happening this Congress, it is my greatest honor to represent you and hear from you about the issues that matter most. You can read below about what we’ve been up to this week, and as always, you can stay up to date with us here, on our website, and on Twitter , Facebook , Instagram , and YouTube .
In Liberty,
“This morning, I had the chance to visit and speak to over 70 business leaders in Ocala at their weekly breakfast meeting. We discussed what our team is doing to advance business-friendly policies at the federal level, fighting back against unconstitutional vaccine mandates for employers, combating inflation and rising prices, and how we can continue to ensure Florida’s Third is the best place to do business in the Sunshine State. Thanks for having me – looking forward to seeing everyone again soon!”

The COVID Fiasco!
Will COVID 19 end the world as we know it?
As I See It, probably not.
But, then we don’t know much about it.
What is an Endemic?
When was COVID an Epidemic?
When did it change to a Pandemic,
Apparently. an ENDEMIC is a disease that’s always with us, like the flu. But it’s mostly limited to a particular region which makes the disease more predictable. For example, Malaria is considered to be an ENDEMIC in certain countries. COVID was an epidemic when it first appeared in China.
Very quickly COVID became an EPIDEMIC like yellow fever, smallpox, measles, and polio. Interestingly, West Niie Fever is a epidemic even though it’s not contagious. So an EPIDEMIC is when a health condition invades a specific area, or locality. Continue reading
Dear Friends,
What a great country we live in! Only in America, could a hard-working young man who started out mowing the lawn and washing cars at a funeral home, eventually become the principle and grow that business in to a thriving company with over 100 employees. That young man is now your State Senator and what a blessing and privilege it is to be able to serve you in Tallahassee.
First, a quick update on the redistricting process. As of this writing, the Senate and Congressional maps are just about complete and we expect to hold a vote on the final maps very soon. It was the priority of the Senate to get these done early so that we can focus on other needs of the state. Florida’s citizens should be pleased with the final product as this open process followed a strict procedure and was done fairly and constitutionally.
Also, excited to inform you of some legislation that we have been working on for some time and has recently been filed for consideration. SB 1820, the “Health Care Ethics and Liberty Protection Act” is a bill that would protect doctors and health care providers from being forced to participate in or pay for any health care service that violates their conscience. There are those on the left that believe that health care providers should not be able to refuse to perform or pay for things like abortions and gender reassignment procedures, even if these things are inconsistent with sincerely held religious beliefs. Despite the fact that these procedures do more harm than good and can be very damaging to individuals, we should all at least be able to agree that no one should be forced to participate in something that violates their conscience. This bill would reinforce that right and make it very clear that this will not be tolerated in the State of Florida. Continue reading
Last month I highlighted several areas describing the economic growth our community has experienced throughout 2021. This month I am excited to highlight three more areas.
Healthcare
An item which can no longer be denied is the growth of Ocala as a regional healthcare hub. Continued investments and expansions by AdventHealth Ocala, Ocala Regional Medical Center, and West Marion Community Hospital have added beds, new service lines, and increased access to care throughout the community, all while continuing to provide amazing care through the pandemic. ORMC is adding a floor to finish its critical care tower while West Marion has begun work on a third tower with plans for an inpatient rehab and more beds. AdventHealth continues to expand services, especially with its refurbished and expanded NICU and its new, free-standing ER in Belleview. At the end of year, the Ocala City Council rezoned approximately 30 acres near US 27 and I-75 for a new hospital—the area’s fourth—being built by UF Health. Continue reading
