Get StartedProviding for the common defense and keeping the American people safe is my number one priority in Congress. First and foremost, that means giving our brave men and women in uniform the resources they need to combat threats around the globe. Learn more
Free trade means jobs. As Florida’s only member on the Trade Subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over international trade policy, I am committed to expanding trade and investment opportunities in the global marketplace to create jobs and grow the economy. Learn more
We need common-sense, bipartisan solutions that will help lower health care costs and increase coverage for all Americans. Learn more
While we are a nation of immigrants, we are also a nation of laws. These laws must be obeyed and enforced. For Congress to grant amnesty to 11 million people who broke our laws and came here illegally would be an affront to the millions more who choose to play by the rules and comply with our laws. I have consistently argued against amnesty and for a solution that secures our border first. Learn more
Protecting Social Security is one of my highest priorities. Seniors have worked their entire lives with the promise of a safe retirement. Our Congressional district is home to the second highest number of Social Security beneficiaries in the nation. As the only Florida Congressman on the Social Security Subcommittee, I will work to preserve this vital retirement program for today’s seniors and future generations. Learn more
Creating jobs and revitalizing the U.S. Economy is my highest priority. Encouraging growth in the private sector is vital to achieving this goal. Too often Washington enacts policies that increase regulation, raise taxes and place heavy burdens that hold American job creators back. As a businessman for over 30 years, I know what it’s like to create jobs, balance a budget, and meet a payroll. I have introduced a jobs plan in Congress to help restore the economy and get America working again. As a member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, I will continue to work to restructure our tax system to make it simpler, flatter and fairer. We need a tax code that spurs economic growth, creates jobs and puts money back in the pockets of hardworking taxpayers. Learn more
