Hello Friend,

Welcome to my e-newsletter, the Ready Room. As a retired Naval Aviator, the Ready Room is special to me because it’s where fellow aviators meet to brief and debrief missions. This is my weekly briefing to you on my mission in Congress. Please follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube for regular updates on how my team and I are working to serve you in Congress.

Happy Easter!

He is risen, indeed! From my family to yours, I hope you had a very Happy Easter! As we celebrate Christ's resurrection, we remember the importance of salvation and redemption. Our country faces many challenges, but I'm confident that we can overcome them by putting into practice the lessons Jesus taught us about compassion, mercy and grace.

Feeling the Need for Speed at Sun 'n Fun!

It's always exciting to attend the SUN 'n FUN air show in Lakeland. The sky was filled with stunning aerobatics and jaw-dropping aviation maneuvers. The highlight, of course, was meeting with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels. These fellow Naval Aviators are truly the best of the best. Fly Navy! Click here to learn more.
