Life already costs too much. You shouldn’t worry that corruption, fraud, and corporate wrongdoing will make it worse. The FTC is key to keeping corporations accountable—that’s why I introduced the 21st Century FTC and FTC Autonomy Acts with @Schakowsky.house.gov.

Families need affordable health coverage, not more economic pain caused by ripping health care away. I led a resolution to ensure that a predatory rule change to kick 2 million Americans off their health care and send costs soaring does not go into effect.

Floridians are losing health coverage faster than anyone else in the country thanks to extreme politicians letting ACA tax credits expire. They’ve created a cost-of-living crisis and put health care out of reach for millions.

Extreme politicians are ending the Medicare Part D Premium Stabilization initiative early, raising prescription prices for seniors. Life is already expensive enough, and seniors shouldn’t have to choose between their life-saving medications and their groceries.

Fossil-fueled power plants are expensive, dirty, and make our communities sicker. The EPA’s rollback of life-saving pollution limits is a dangerous, corrupt decision that gives handouts to Big Oil and Gas and does nothing to lower your costs.

Electric bills are already soul-crushing. Families shouldn’t be forced to pay even more to cover the massive energy demands of billion-dollar data center corporations. This week, the House will vote on my bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act to ensure Big Tech pays its bills—not Florida ratepayers.

In 2025, I called for a formal investigation into $10M that was stolen from Florida taxpayers. The perpetrators have since been promoted, and there has been no accountability for their corrupt actions.

I’m glad to see Big Tech be held accountable for their predatory designs and careless approach to keeping kids safe online. 👏🏼 This is a step in the right direction, but it’s never been more important for Congress to step up and pass a design code law that establishes guardrails for all platforms.

Good news from TPA! 👏🏼 The airport took the time to thoroughly review their decision to opt into TSA Gold+, and ultimately decided to reverse course. This decision will keep 700+ federal officers employed, keep passengers the most safe and keep our airport operating smoothly.

The chaos and corruption in Washington isn’t victimless. It sends costs soaring and makes life harder for my neighbors. I’m fighting to end the corruption and partisan games. From exposing closed door deals with Big Pharma to ending stock trading by members of Congress, I’m for people—not profits.

Our farmers, workers, and families are already under enough financial strain. Allowing bad actors like the Chinese Communist Party to interfere with our fertilizer supply chain sends costs even higher and creates uncertainties we can't afford.

Privatizing airport security is a betrayal of TPA’s 700+ hardworking TSOs—including Veterans—who keep TPA safe and make it the best airport in the country. They continued to show up for TPA even without pay, and this cannot be how we repay them.
