Week In Review
Surviving families confront many challenges, often made worse by policies that fail to compassionately honor the memory of their sacrifice. That's why this week I helped introduce the Gold Star Family Support and Installation Act.
I'm focused on bringing radical reform to our broken and rigged tax code. This would be the first serious change to simplify our code and lower middle-class taxes since the Reagan administration.

This week we took decisive action that will make our community safer, healthier and stronger. We passed bills this week to clean up our water, help veterans, strengthen our national defense and improve care for seniors.
Far too often it feels like the federal government just isn't paying attention to the issues that really impact our day to day lives. I had a stark example of that in a committee hearing this week when I questioned the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on SB10 and our efforts to build a reservoir south of Lake Okeechobee.
Congress's most important constitutional duty is to provide for the common defense. This week we passed the National Defense Authorization Act to reform, repair and rebuild our military. The bill also included two provision that I wrote and sponsored.
Sanctuary cities are a violation of the rule of law. This week I helped pass two bills - the No Sanctuary for Criminals Act and Kate's Law - to crack down on dangerous sanctuary policies that needlessly put innocent lives at risk.
Watch this week's Week In Review video to hear more about my exchange with All Aboard Florida head executive Mike Reininger, bills we passed to help create jobs and the young men and women from our community who received the Congressional Awards Gold Medal.
Many veterans have had similar experiences and have shared healthcare challenges as a result. That’s why it’s so critical for the VA to establish and maintain expertise in providing our unique healthcare needs. Read about some real action we took to help veterans this week.
My goal as your representative in Congress is to help our community stay safe, ensure our families can stay healthy and strengthen our economy. One of the major bills we passed this week is called the Financial CHOICE Act, which will help our community banks give local businesses the resources they need to succeed.
