Big news! Last night, Congress passed my bill–the South Florida Clean Coastal Waters Act!
This bill will mandate the federal government take action in the northern estuaries and South Florida to combat toxic algal blooms.
It is the first-ever federal plan of its kind to force the federal government to take responsibility for the damage they have caused in our state.

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.

Florida’s waterways are continuing their rapid deterioration with forces like corrupt elected officials, corporate polluters, and the powerful sugar lobby only making matters worse…
The situation in our lagoon is so bad for manatees right now that wildlife officials have been forced to provide food for them.

In case you haven’t seen it, there have been proposals recently to allow oil drilling projects in the Everglades!
This is something that I wholeheartedly reject. We can’t allow our waterways to be put in harm’s way as a result of this reckless drilling plan.

On Monday, the Army Corps will make a MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT in the process to rewrite the Lake Okeechobee Regulation Schedule, and the sugar industry is already gaming out how to manipulate the next phase to their advantage.
They are rounding up politicians to send letters with their talking points, threatening lawsuits, and inundating reporters with spin from their political operatives.

The liberal media likes to denigrate and attack Republicans, so you don’t often hear about the big conservative wins. But our America First Congressman Brian Mast has been getting it done!
Just recently we’ve seen Brian:

While Democrats in DC are singing a song of unity, their actions this week have sent a different message (no surprise there…).
They have rushed forward with an aggressively radical agenda that includes shutting down construction of the border wall, lifting travel restrictions for terrorist-harboring nations and stopping deportations of illegal immigrants.
What do all these orders have in common? They help people from other countries at the expense of American citizens.
