When I was serving in Afghanistan, I saw what true evil looks like. I lost two legs and a finger when a Taliban bomb blew up beneath me. I also held my fellow soldiers in my arms as the last breath of life left their bodies.
As a father, on the other hand, I have seen the beauty of innocence and experienced the indisputable value of human life.
This is one of the most ludicrous proposals I have heard during my time in Congress!
Given that Joe Biden’s record-breaking border crisis – which is already seeing roughly 5 illegal border crossings every single minute – is about to get even WORSE if his repeal of “Remain in Mexico” goes through, there are reports that he could be sending a new group to help deal with the chaos: doctors who work for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
Today I am officially launching my re-election campaign in Florida’s 21st Congressional District.
While the 21st Congressional District may be a new number, it is largely the same district consisting of Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach Counties that I’ve had the honor to serve in Congress over the last 5 years.
I’m not going to sugarcoat this: the Florida legislature has just wrapped up another session with no meaningful reform to protect Florida’s waterways.
You may have heard about a bill called SB 2508, which was a bill designed to give more water control to the sugar industry to the detriment of Florida’s environment. While this bill was ultimately amended after intense public pressure to remove some of the worst parts, it’s still a crap bill that will make it harder for water managers to protect Florida’s natural resources.
And, while SB 2508 grabbed many of the headlines from this session, the biggest news story is probably what didn’t happen: no increased efforts to curb pollution, no policy changes to combat toxic algal blooms and nothing that will help send more water south into the Everglades.
Governor DeSantis has been an absolutely fierce warrior to secure the funding needed for Everglades restoration.
