One of the biggest issues that I am currently seeing exists in Congress is a lot of people will talk about clean energy, but it is not really clean, especially, when it is tied to China.

the global China crisis.

I am asking for your help. This is my top priority for the WRDA 2024 to ensure that the Army Corps proceeds as planned with already authorized beach renourishment projects here in Florida.

While the new Army Corps policies are personal to me and my constituents in Pinellas County, I am sure that you will hear from many of my colleagues from the Florida delegation that they are probably facing similar issues.

the legislation introduced by my colleagues rightly seeks to disapprove of the Fish and Wildlife Service's rules regarding the status of lesser prairie chickens and northern long-eared bats under the ESA.

I just want to note that this has been a topic that has come up before with the ESA, but of the endangered species, only about 3.7 of the species have ever been delisted.

It is my utmost priority to ensure beach renourishment continues in my community.

The bacteria outbreak in Abbott's nutrition manufacturing facility in Michigan is, in my opinion, just one of the many examples of the FDA's lack of oversight.

I do not trust China, and biochemical is a very real threat in this country.

What the ATF has done with this Administration, with the weaponization of this Agency, to take something that is basically done to aid people that are disabled, and then make this about protecting children from a majority of Members who…

Of course, they do, and I personally take offense at having my natural right to self-defense mansplained to me.

I am the only Member of Congress that has both survived an armed robbery, a home invasion, a gang shooting on my school campus.

The point is that bad people will always obtain guns, and regulating the rights of law-abiding citizens... is not going to do anything but enable the bad guys.

I believe that when you have other animals that are no longer endangered, it takes away the resources that I would need.

I think that the initial intent of the Endangered Species Act was done in good faith.

Only 3.7 percent of species have been delisted in 50 years since the ESA was first enacted.

I am not in the business of listening to people who are offended. I am in the business into finding the facts.

I believe that this is a political argument from people that have not gone through experiences.

Rather than outsourcing fishing and seafood products from a country like China where we know little about the quality of the product we are receiving, we have essentially strangled our fishermen in regulations and red tape, and our food…

From this information, it is clear that our domestic fisheries produce safer seafood, and honestly I would probably prefer to eat American over Chinese any day of the week.

China has taken advantage of fisheries on a global scale by using large fleets to harvest far from the Chinese shores.

The United States is a global leader in fishery management with some of the most highly regulated fisheries in the world.

It is dangerous to have, for argument sakes, anyone demand, controlling what you are saying and thinking.

I think it is clear that modernizing NEPA's provisions would have significant impacts on the efficiency of project reviews, decreasing project costs, and reducing the likelihood of frivolous lawsuits.
