Dear Friend,
With 2019 behind us, I believe it’s important to celebrate all we’ve achieved for our community, our state and our great country during my first year in Congress.
One of the most important parts of my job as Congressman is working to find solutions for problems affecting our community – and that’s why I was proud to work alongside fellow members of Congress on both sides of the aisle to support our veterans, advance in science and space, keep us safe and represent our great state of Florida.
