I stand before you today as a 27-year law enforcement officer. The officers were ambushed by this violent mob, who had total disregard for the officers oath, their records of service, their families and their safety. As a former police chief, I shall never forget what I witnessed one year ago today, and America should never forget, either.

I was glad to hear the President grant the major disaster declaration that will certainly help to quickly unlock additional resources.
And remember, we know that 60 percent threshold is not easy. But Florida has seen it before in 2018, with amendment for that gave citizens -- convicted felons, restored their rights so that they would be able to vote.
This is clearly about protecting a woman's right to choose and I believe that Floridians will show up to do just that.
After seeing several gaps in the Federal Government's response to disasters and how it distributes assistance, I, along with Chairwoman Demings and Senator Elizabeth Warren, introduced the FEMA Equity Act.
