    The Burn Pit Registry Enhancement Act passed this week with my support. While I am glad we are continuing to improve the registry, we must do more to ensure Veterans exposed to toxic burn pits get the help they need. Congressman Ruiz and I are refiling our legislation to do that.

    The Center for Effective Lawmaking ranked me as Florida’s most effective legislator, and the 39th overall most effective GOP lawmaker in the U.S. House for the 115th Congress. I am humbled by this recognition. I'm a workhorse, not a show horse.

    I was proud to help secure $100,000 in federal funding for Pasco County Schools' School Based Health Center. The funds will be used to improve the physical and mental health of students and families in Holiday. When kids' primary needs are met, they are better able to learn.

    I voted in favor of measures that formally reject hateful expressions of intolerance. We must learn from the mistakes of our nation’s painful past and focus on what unites us as a people by creating a solid foundation of prosperity and equality for all. Never room for bigotry.
