In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“As Florida's Most Effective Legislator, I remain committed to results-driven leadership and strong constituent service as we work to lower costs, reduce burdensome taxes and regulations, and secure a brighter, stronger future for seniors, Veterans and families throughout Florida's 12th Congressional district and beyond.”

Gus Bilirakis to seek re-election to 11th term in Congress, will run in CD 12Apr 29, 2026 · Press · Florida Politics · source

“I'm proud of what I've accomplished for Florida families this term, and I look forward to building on that success, which is why I'm running for re-election in 2026. We've made real progress on affordability through policies like no tax on tips and overtime, and a new senior tax deduction, but there is still more work ahead to expand opportunity and ease the burden on workers, families, seniors, and small businesses.”
