Infrastructure is about more than just roads and bridges. It’s about making sure our kids get to school safely, our economy stays competitive, and our waterways remain clean. It’s about protecting what makes our district special, while ensuring we leave it better than we found it for future generations.
Our communities know all too well the devastating impact of poor water quality and toxic discharges from Lake Okeechobee. We’ve seen how it hurts businesses, marine life, and public health. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to fight for zero discharges to protect places like the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon.
I’m proud of the work we’ve done to strengthen partnerships across all levels of government. Through holding the Army Corps of Engineers accountable and pushing for investments to empower local leaders, we are delivering for Florida's 21st district.
We are blessed to live in one of the most beautiful and unique ecosystems in the nation. Preserving our home isn’t just an environmental goal, it is an economic imperative and a moral responsibility. National Infrastructure Week is an important reminder, and I won’t stop until we finish the job– when it comes to protecting our communities, nothing less is acceptable.
Every day, hundreds of thousands of law enforcement officers wake up with one mission in mind: to protect their community. As we head into National Police Week, we honor the brave men and women in blue who put their lives on the line everyday to protect us.
Under the Biden Administration, it became increasingly difficult for our law enforcement officers to do their job. From “defunding the police” to soft-on-crime policies, Washington did not have their six. We watched as local leaders demonized law enforcement and fueled an environment that let crime thrive while innocent citizens and small business owners suffered.
Now, we once again have a President who backs the blue, and I’m proud to stand alongside him in supporting that Thin Blue Line.
President Trump said it best himself, “safe communities rely on the backbone and heroism of a tough and well-equipped police force.” I couldn’t agree more; that's why in Congress, I make it a priority to fight for the resources our law enforcement needs to get the job done. I will always back the blue and their work that keeps our communities safe.
Thanks to those who put on the uniform and run towards the danger each and every day, we can wake up each morning safely. Their selfless service is a true inspiration.
