| Sen. Rick Scott Urges the Senate Work Five Days a Week to Pass the SAVE America Act Dear Fellow Floridian, The American people are demanding change to make sure our upcoming elections are free, fair, and secure. That's why our top priority in the Senate has to be getting the SAVE America Act passed, no matter what it takes. This week, I wrote an op-ed in Fox News urging my Senate colleagues to work five days a week and vote every day to deliver President Trump's agenda to the American people and pass the SAVE America Act. Time is short. Passing the SAVE America Act NOW is essential to ensuring that our midterm elections are secure. That's why the Senate needs stay in Washington until we figure out how to pass the SAVE America Act. Hardworking Americans work five days a week, so why shouldn't Congress hold itself to that same standard? As your United States Senator, I will be going directly to the Senate floor over the coming weeks to bring up policies that I ran on when I asked Floridians to vote for me. I won't stop fighting in Washington to secure our elections and deliver the rest of President Trump’s America-First agenda to the American people. Sincerely,  Rick Scott United States Senator — |

Sen. Rick Scott in Fox News: ‘Americans Work Five Days a Week, Why Can’t the Senate?’U.S. Senator Rick Scott published an op-ed in Fox News urging his Senate colleagues to work and vote every day on codifying President Trump’s agenda and delivering on the promises made to the American people.This week, the Senate returned from a two-week recess for a four-week work period in Washington, D.C. ahead of a scheduled five-week recess in August. Senator Rick Scott wrote, “Did you know the U.S. Senate has only been in session 79 days (about 40% of the time) so far this year? And so far, we haven’t passed anything to secure our elections, reduce inflation, cut spending or prevent another Democrat shutdown. … “Right now, we take fewer than 10 votes a week. We arrive late Monday to vote and leave as soon as possible on Thursday afternoon. The Senate is rarely in session on Fridays and almost never works over the weekend — even when pressing deadlines approach on issues critical to the safety, security and stability of the American people. … “Time is short. Getting all of this done before November would mean staying in Washington until we figure out how to deliver it. It would mean sitting down and working together to find solutions, instead of throwing up our hands and going home. We can’t take ‘no’ for an answer, and we can’t stop just because it’s hard.” Read more HERE. Read the full op-ed HERE. |
