44 veterans a day

 SERVICE DOGS MAKE A DIFFERENCEAccording to data from 2022, we lose as many as 44 veterans a day to suicide, and it’s possible that that number is dramatically underestimating the crisis. We are failing our veterans, and it’s on the VA and Congress to make sure we use every tool at our disposal to address this epidemic. One of those tools is service dogs. Thanks to a law that I cosponsored, the Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicemembers - or the PAWS Act, the VA is getting closer to being able to pair

I asked NOAA why the LOSOM was delayed

 FIGHTING TO STOP TOXIC DISCHARGES TO THE TREASURE COASTOur beautiful Treasure Coast is always just one heavy storm away from turning into a toxic mess.  In 2018, we saw it first-hand - pristine water turned green and a disgusting stench filled the air.  Throughout the rainy season, businesses had to close, and beaches were left empty. We need to do everything possible to prevent a repeat of 2018.  That’s why implementing the Lake Okeechobee System Operation Manual (LOSOM) is so important.  As a result of a

Guess what Joe Biden spent millions on

 STOP FUNDING BIDEN’S WOKE POLICIESJoseph - America leads the world through STRENGTH.  Our nation is a beacon of freedom and democracy, but it is also a symbol of strength that keeps dictators and bullies in their place.  That’s why it matters how the White House spends our tax dollars.  President Trump understood that and used it to help our nation reach its full potential.  In comparison, it’s obvious that President Biden prioritizes the wrong things.

#BacktheBlue

 HONORING LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERSJoseph - Day or night, police officers answer the call to protect our communities.  These officers of the law take their jobs seriously and risk their lives to keep us safe. And yet, far-left activists take to the streets year after year to protest the very people who took oaths to protect them.  The “Defund the Police” movement is the culprit of the disrespect the officers have to face everyday. That is why the House voted on bills to support the men and women in uniforms

No offshore energy!

 FIGHTING TO PREVENT OFFSHORE ENERGY PRODUCTIONI’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: energy production near Florida’s shoreline is a nonstarter.  Whether it’s drilling for oil or wind turbines, Floridians do not want it, and we’ve got good reasons. First, it’s a national security threat.  If drilling was to be expanded or wind turbines were to be installed on the west coast of Florida, it would seriously impact the Gulf Test Range, which is vital for the military’s munitions testing and training
