Inflation continues to rage as a result of President Biden’s reckless spending policies. This hurts all Americans by causing the price of everything to soar.

The Strategic Production Response Act addresses the abuse of our emergency reserves while restoring policies that promote American energy independence. We cannot rely on America’s adversaries and foreign dictators for our energy sources.

I enjoyed meeting with residents of Sugarmill Woods last night. Great to hear from so many of my newest constituents about the issues impacting their families. I will work with my colleagues in DC, and with state and local leaders to address their concerns!

Thanks to everyone who participated in my tele-townhall today. There were approximately 5,000 constituents on the call for the entire hour, and I appreciated hearing from many of them about issues impacting their families. I look forward to hosting a similar forum next month!

On Saturday, we celebrated the Grand Opening of the new bed tower at James A. Haley VA Hospital. I fought for several years to secure the funding needed to build this beautiful addition that will ensure our local Veterans have the state-of-the art facility they deserve!

Proud to join for the groundbreaking of its new research facility in Pasco and to have secured $3 million for this critical project. The transformational research that will take place at this center will revolutionize the way we prevent, detect and treat cancer!

During yesterday's luncheon, we heard positive news about Florida's relatively resilient position, but were warned inflation continues to be a serious problem. Congress must make spending reforms needed to restore fiscal credibility at home and in the global market.

Canceling the pipeline is just one of the ways the Biden Administration has hurt Americans and driven up energy costs. We need to hold it accountable for its failures and provide the relief all Americans deserve by restoring American energy independence.

I enjoyed speaking at this year's Hernando County MLK luncheon. This year’s theme was: Honoring the Past & Preparing for the Future by Revitalizing the Present. It was refreshing to see so many community leaders committed to working toward this common goal.

As we celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. today, we remember the challenge he posed to us all, “Life’s most persistent question is- What are you doing for others?” In his honor, may each of us be inspired to find a way to be in service to one another.

Once again the Biden Administration tries to reward Turkey for its continued bad behavior. Rest assured, my colleagues and I in Congress will ensure no such sale ever comes to pass.

Record high gas prices are crippling individuals and small business owners throughout Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties. During this week’s hearing on President Biden’s failed energy policies, I shared many of our neighbors' stories.

We created a Bipartisan Select Committee that will work to protect and strengthen America for the next century against the threats we face from a rising Communist China. We're committed to ending our dependence on China and demanding accountability for its malign actions!

Our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) was created to ensure supply during natural disasters and potential national security crises. Our bill will stop Biden from continuing to sell our emergency reserves to China.

One of the most important things we must do is hold the Biden Administration accountable for its abuses of power which is why I'm glad HRes 12 passed this week with my support. Americans deserve accountability!

I am a staunch believer that we must protect all human life, which is why I proudly voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act this week. It secures medical protections for babies that survive an attempted abortion.

Energy Security is national security. I’m proud the House passed the Protecting America’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) from China Act, which I’ve co-sponsored. It will prevent further sales to China and help end Biden’s abuse of our emergency reserves!

Despite his rhetoric after a long overdue border visit, the facts are very clear. Biden’s open border policies are solely to blame for the catastrophic crisis we are seeing at our southern border. Enough deflection and excuses. The American people want our border secured!
