In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“I know this district, the families, small businesses, and important industries that make up our community and make it special. I have no intention of switching districts, and I will continue to seek re-election to my home community, Florida's 15th Congressional District.”
“There is more work to be done, and I'm committed to continuing to serve the people of the 15th Congressional District with the same dedication and accountability they expect and deserve.”
“As a former federal prosecutor and judge, I've focused on delivering results grounded in the rule of law and a clear-eyed commitment to public safety. In Congress, I've worked to protect our children, support law enforcement, and ensure that our economy works for hardworking families.”
“I am honored to represent the people of Florida's 15th Congressional District. Our new district maintains the majority of my constituents, and it's where my home and district office are located. I look forward to continuing the good work we've done for our community.”
“I am grateful to President Trump for signing my legislation into law, reaffirming our nation's commitment to ensuring Holocaust survivors and their families have the opportunity to recover what is rightfully theirs. This law advances justice and affirms a simple principle: these cases should be decided based on truth, not technicalities, and we will continue to stand with those seeking to reclaim what was taken from them.”
“Tonight, President Trump laid out a forward-looking vision to continue strengthening our economy and expanding opportunity for American families. While we have made meaningful progress, there is more work to do to ensure growth reaches every household and that the momentum continues. For families across Florida's 15th Congressional District in the Tampa Bay area, I remain focused on building on that progress—lowering costs, supporting small businesses, unleashing American energy, securing our border, and restoring fiscal responsibility in Washington. When we prioritize pro-growth policies, protect our freedoms, and keep public safety at the forefront, we create an environment where hardworking families can thrive. I am committed to continuing that work and delivering results that keep our economy strong and our communities secure.”
