Thrilled to have attended the groundbreaking for NeoCity's new Multi-Use Research Lab! 🚀
This milestone is another major step forward in innovation, collaboration, and the future of high-tech microchip research in Central Florida.
I joined Osceola County Commissioner Viviana Janer today to announce $13M in FEMA funding for flood control and traffic light hardening in BVL and Mills Slough. After Hurricane Irma and Ian flooding, this funding will help protect these communities moving forward.
I voted NO on the ICE budget.
This budget fails to include critical ICE reforms like no masks, ID requirements, prohibition on sensitive areas, stronger guardrails against their reckless abuses, and more.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social stand for the THREE C’s:
💵 Lower Costs
🏥 Protect our Care
⚖️ Stop Corruption
Congress must now conduct extensive hearings on the attack and all efforts to restore democracy in Venezuela. (3/3)
Trump’s failure to seek Congressional approval for these strikes raises serious questions about the legality of the mission. The Administration made multiple false promises that it would not invade Venezuela without Congressional consent. (2/3)
Capturing the murderous Dictator Maduro is a major step towards a #VenezuelaLibre. Now, there must be concerted efforts to ensure the democratically elected Edmundo González is seated as the rightful new president. (1/3)
Happy 2026! 🎇 In 2025, we continued to stand up for Central Florida, deliver for our community, and hold the Trump Administration accountable.

Right now, a local Central Florida radio station regularly has its signal overpowered by Cuban state radio, spreading harmful communist propaganda to Floridians for hours each night.
Many small AM radio stations in Florida & Alaska don’t have the funding to block these signals. (2/2)
We introduced the Stop Communist Radio Act to direct the FCC to establish a program to make grants to certain radio stations experiencing harmful foreign signal interference by communist countries like Cuba, Russia, & North Korea. (1/2)
Obamacare rates are surging. 📈 Central Floridians are losing their healthcare. Yet House Republicans are still doing NOTHING.
It’s time to come together to lower costs and save healthcare for over 275,000 constituents!

On #WorldAIDSDay, we honor the lives lost and renew our commitment to ending HIV/AIDS once and for all.
In Washington, Positively U in Central Florida proudly displayed a quilt made as part of the #SaveHIVFunding campaign.
Trump continues his wave of destruction upon Florida. This time, he wants to allow manatees to be decimated.
He’s pushed offshore oil drilling, more pollution, and is now threatening manatees. Clean water, tourism, wildlife, and recreation are all at risk.

He wins, you lose. Trump makes BILLIONS from corruption.

Happy Thanksgiving, Central Florida! 🦃
I’m grateful for family and everyone in #FL9. Wishing all Central Floridians a safe and joyful holiday!
Florida’s Fair District Amendments ban partisan gerrymandering. This blatantly partisan redistricting effort is CHEATING and doomed to fail in the courts. ⚖️
mynews13.com/fl/orlando/n...
Obamacare rates are skyrocketing due to House Republicans’ inaction. 📈
In #FL9, we have 275k constituents enrolled, the second-most in the nation. It’s time to come together to #SaveObamacare and lower healthcare costs.
