Congress was back in session this week! After six weeks of August recess back home in the district, the House returned to session with a busy schedule.
I spent most of my days running from one committee hearing to another where I had the opportunity to advocate for the issues that matter most to our region in North Central Florida. I tackled issues including fairness for our citrus and dairy farmers, rural broadband accessibility, and patients with disabilities in need of organ transplants. Read below to find out more and watch the subcommittee hearing clips.
On Wednesday, we joined our neighbors across the country as we remembered and honored the Americans we lost on September 11, 2001. At the Capitol, I visited the Memorial to United Flight 93 just off the Capitol Rotunda to pay my respects. I also had the privilege of helping Young America’s Foundation place flags on the Capitol Grounds as part of their 9/11 Never Forget Project. As we get farther away from this fateful day with each passing year, I pray that we continue to share the stories, memories, and feelings from that day with future generations.
On Thursday, we recognized our policewomen as part of National Police Woman Day. Thank you to the women who put on their uniforms every day and protect our communities. I am so appreciative for all that you do.
Finally, I joined Harris Faulkner on Fox News to talk about the migrant crisis taking over communities across the country. We discussed this issue and the importance of the SAVE Act, a bill passed by the House to ensure American elections are for American citizens only. Scroll down to watch our conversation!
The House returns next week for another full week in session. Stay tuned for more action from our nation’s capital.
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 X , Facebook , Instagram , and YouTube .
