Celebrating 91 years of Medicare and Medicaid and 61 years of Social Security is a necessary reminder that extreme politicians in Washington are looking to gut these lifesaving initiatives you’ve paid into to fund tax breaks, bombs and ballrooms.

You shouldn’t have to choose between groceries and life-saving medications. I’m fighting corruption in all its forms, especially when it comes to your health and your pocketbook. I’m proud to introduce the Drug Deal Disclosure Act w/ Reps. Chu, Lee, and Pappas to expose any shady deals being made.

Energy prices are too high. From the gas pump to the grocery store, Americans are paying too much for energy. I’m working across the aisle on real solutions that will modernize our energy grid and lower costs.

Yesterday, the House passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act—a meaningful, bipartisan bill that puts people over politics to make home ownership more attainable for my hard-working neighbors. 🏡

Trump’s lack of strategy and “go-it-alone” approach in his war in Iran are costing Americans. I demand that the administration answer to Congress about their strategies and negotiations—my neighbors deserve answers. ‼️

Tampa Bay students: The Congressional App Challenge is now open for submissions! 📲 The Challenge allows middle and high school students to design a mobile app for a chance to be featured in the U.S. Capitol building. Get creative! I can’t wait to see what Tampa Bay’s bright young minds create.

The dream of a vacation ownership—a timeshare—too often comes with hidden fees, confusing terms and few options when costs spiral out of control for hardworking families. The Timeshare Transparency Act will establish safeguards so families can keep more of their hard-earned money in their pockets.

“I love inflation!” said nobody ever. Until today… in the White House.

The administration of “government efficiency” doesn’t seem to care about saving you $ when their cronies are profiting…

Choosing between food, gas, and health coverage—that’s Trump’s economy. While the Administration is focused on a war of choice, the American people have to choose which necessities to forgo. This is not normal. You deserve better.

The Trump administration dodges accountability at every turn, and yesterday was no different. I hope RFK, Jr. will appear before the Health Subcommittee again, because Tampa Bay families deserve answers to questions about their health care and the confusion he's caused.

Happy Earth Day! 🌎🌱 We need to protect our incredible natural resources that are essential to our way of life. We can build a world that works for our climate and our pocketbooks. I'll continue fighting for clean air, clean water, and good jobs for working families—not for profits or polluters.
