This past week, the House of Representatives was back in Session and I spent the week in the swamps of Washington, D.C. After more than three weeks of recess, I was ready to head back to Capitol Hill and fight for the priorities of Southwest Florida.
Democrats in Washington continue to cheapen the significance of the U.S. Constitution. The announcement last week stating that President Biden supports a study to expand the Supreme Court is extremely dangerous for the state of our Republic. Last week we saw sweeping gun control measures, and this week we see a relentless attempt to stack the Supreme Court. The late Supreme Court Justice and liberal icon Ruth Bader Ginsberg strongly opposed expanding the Supreme Court and was featured on-camera throughout her career, vocalizing her opinion. Democrats are on a oneway track to keeping and expanding their power, Constitution and the American people be damned—and I am committed to fighting this dangerous and anti-American siege of power.
My Democrat colleagues in the House of Representatives continue the fight for D.C. Statehood. Despite this action being unconstitutional and against our founding fathers' beliefs, the radical leftists that have taken over the Democrat Party are insistent upon devaluing our Constitution. The great people of Florida's 19th Congressional District elected me to represent their values and defend the Constitution, which is why I am opposed to the push for D.C. Statehood.
This past week was jam-packed in Washington. I was happy to sit down for multiple media interviews on FOX, One America News Network, local radio shows, and more. Also, I had the opportunity to virtually meet with numerous organizations last week, including the Florida 4-H Youth Delegation.
