Week In Review
After seven years of war and the deaths of more than half of a million people, the atrocities of the Assad regime are still ongoing with the help of Russia and Iran. The United States must push for an end to the violence and suffering in Syria and hold the perpetrators accountable.
Florida’s environment is a non-negotiable priority - central to our economy, quality of life, and most importantly, the health of every family. The well-being of the Everglades, our beaches, our waterways and other ecosystems impact everybody that lives in Florida.
I'm excited to share with you two bills that we've passed to make progress on environmental issues facing our community – the Strengthening Coastal Communities Act and the Jupiter Island Land Transfer Act. Watch to learn more.
This was a truly amazing veterans day, and following veterans day, this week I helped introduce a bipartisan bill to recognize the service of the over 2 million female veterans in our country.
The tax cuts that we passed last year have empowered people to keep more of the money they earn and have put our economy on an upwards trajectory. So, this week we passed three bills to lock in these tax cuts and make them permanent for individuals and families.
This was a big week for our community and the headliner is that the House of Representatives passed a bill to authorize the EAA Southern Storage Reservoir. Together, we can get this reservoir across the finish line!
This week the Army Corps testified before Congress and I pressed them on the need for a human health and safety standard to stop discharges. I also introduced a new bill that would make public health and safety the top priority for the management of Lake Okeechobee.
To hear more about the water task force meeting this week and bills we passed to improve healthcare, help veterans and strengthen our national defense, watch this week's week in review video.
I will not allow important questions to go unanswered. I will continue fighting until human health and safety on the Treasure Coast is made a priority!
We are in a war for our water - for the health and safety of our families, our environment and our local economy. The way I was raised and the way I was trained in the military, you always go back out the next night and bring the fight again with everything you have. I will keep doing that every day. That’s how I fight for our water.
