Squatters should have no right to take over the homes of those who defend our country.
During a House Veterans Affairs Subcommittee hearing, I asked witnesses from the Department of Defense if they see squatters occupying service members' homes as something that would negatively impact troop readiness, and ultimately, national security. Unfortunately, not one witness could answer or would offer support for our troops who face this legal nightmare.

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: the fight for clean water is one that we wage 24-7, 365 days per year.
We’ve seen kids get sick. We’ve seen dogs die. And we’ve seen our community pay the price while toxins and hazardous chemicals penetrate our waterways. Our fight for clean water is not over, but I am proud of the three bills I reintroduced earlier today to preserve the health, safety, and future of our communities.
We had another productive week on Capitol Hill— we made progress on the fight to slash wasteful spending, introduced legislation to protect our waterways, to speaking with the Acting ADM of the U.S. Coast Guard about maritime safety.
I’m committed to securing a clean and healthy environment for all. I will stay in this fight because protecting our planet is a responsibility we all share, for ourselves and for future generations.
House Republicans are doing exactly what we promised to do. We’re delivering bills to rebuild a booming economy, secure our borders, and ensure that the government actually works for the American people.
I’ll keep fighting for those battling addiction, for their families and the values that lead to recovery: responsibility, faith, and community. Passing this bill means we’re one step closer to restoring safety and hope.
Across the country, business owners are struggling to find skilled workers, even though there are plenty of qualified candidates who are ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work. That’s why, tonight, I voted to pass common-sense legislation that will help connect more Career and Technical Education (CTE) graduates with small business job opportunities.
It’s Hurricane Preparedness Week and it’s never too early to make sure you’re ready. Florida sees more hurricanes each year than any other state, making it essential for our community to prepare for the many hazards these storms can bring to our homes.
When a veteran submits a disability claim, they shouldn’t be forced to wait in limbo or navigate endless red tape, but unfortunately this has been their reality for far too long. As a veteran who relies on VA healthcare, I know the overwhelming hurdles we are faced with to get the care and answers we’ve earned. That’s not acceptable. And it’s why we’re working overtime to fix it.
