I confronted
@SecMayorkas
at the
@HouseAppropsGOP
FY25 DHS budget hearing about his failure to secure the border. His repeated lies and failure to do his job are why I voted to impeach him. I urge
@SenSchumer
to immediately hold an impeachment trial.
Congrats to Pastor Terry "Uncle Sam" Horn & his wife Rev. Cynthia Horn on celebrating the 50th anniversary of children’s ministry through their org, Metro City Kids. Their investment in our next generation has made NE Florida a safer, more loving place.
When local police use the 287(g) program, illegals who commit crimes are taken off our streets.
@ICEgov
Acting Dir Lechleitner and I recently talked about the importance of federal and local officers working together to better enforce our immigration laws.
This week I had the honor of receiving the 2024 Patient Safety Advocate Award from
@PatientSafe2Day
. As Congress works to improve quality care for patients, we must continue to protect and strengthen the doctor-patient relationship.
Wishing a peaceful and happy Passover to all my Jewish brothers and sisters. We must continue to support our Jewish communities at home and abroad as we work towards peace. Chag Pesach Sameach, to all who celebrate!

Protecting Americans & providing for our national defense is the fundamental duty of the federal gov't. I voted to pass the national security package to invest in U.S. weapons stockpiles & support the U.S. military. My full statement can be found here:
Thank you for taking the time to visit me on your trip to Washington. I enjoyed discussing Jacksonville’s top-tier care options and growing health technology innovations that make us a medical destination for Floridians and patients across the globe.
Last weekend, for the first time ever, Iran directly attacked our ally, Israel. Today, I was proud join my House colleagues to pass H.Res. 1143 to condemn Iran’s unprecedented attack and uphold Israel's right to self-defense.
As a former sheriff with 40 yrs in law enforcement, I strongly oppose HR4639, the Fourth Amendment Is Not for Sale Act. This dangerous, anti-police bill will make communities LESS SAFE by preventing local law enforcement from solving crimes. I urge my House colleagues to vote no.
We are proud to stand with our fellow law enforcement associations and continue to oppose the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act. This legislation will empower criminals and hinder getting justice for victims.

@PolkCoSheriff
is exactly right. The 'Fourth Amendment is Not For Sale Act' empowers criminals by blocking police access to publicly available data used to solve crimes. This dangerous, anti-police bill will be on the floor this week. I urge my House colleagues to vote NO.
