I introduced H.R. 1911, the Sergeant First Class Brian Woods Gold Star and Military Survivors Act.

Thank you, Chairwoman Luria and Ranking Member Bost, for hosting today's legislative hearing.

Importantly, in 2018, Florida received the third lowest allotment per capita, according to the EPA, yet it has the third most significant infrastructure needs in the country. This is unacceptable, particularly for a program so important in…

We dodged a missile. The category 5 storm could have been absolutely catastrophic.

Deep fake technology, which can literally put words in our mouths, undermines public trust in any digital communication.

I think it's important for my colleagues to note that was a policy change under this Administration that then allowed Cyber Command to take those kind of, what they call active defensive measures, and taking election security very…

What is NASA's plan B?

We must maintain a low-Earth orbit.

I think it is always worth remembering and reminding that the Chinese military is behind every major component of what the Chinese are doing in space.

If there's anything I hear about from constituents, it's traffic and flooding.

I am proud to say Florida has eclipsed California now in Q-1 of 2019 with the most solar power installations.

I can't tell you how many veterans, how many wounded warriors we have in Walter Reed, how many we've lost hauling diesel fuel across exposed supply lines getting IED'ed.
