On the Boots to Business bill: This will provide education and training to veterans and their families on how to start, maintain and grow their own business. Veterans come to the course with a concept and leave with the tools to create a viable business model!

On Veteran-owner small businesses: I am working with @TulsiGabbard to implement a bill that will allow veterans to use their GI Bills to invest in their own small business upstarts!

On my trip to the southern border: Those working to secure the border are good people who are caught in a political cross fire. And they say physical borders work! I was glad to see that the detention centers were clean and not crowded after we passed legislation to ensure so.

On combatting human trafficking: We must do everything we can to save and support the victims! Soon we will file a bill that seeks to prevent victims from being convicted of crimes they were forced commit while being trafficked. Trafficking victims need help, not prosecution.

On addressing traffic issues: For too long we have been reactive to this issue, not proactive. We have had talks with FDOT to work on this issue and expand I-4. I’ve also been floating the idea of contructing an elevated expressway over SR60 to cut down on some of the traffic.
