Despite having endured one of the most bizarre and tumultuous years in history, Northwest Florida students have continued showcasing their exceptional talent and skill.

MODERNIZING OUR MILITARY MISSION
NAS Whiting Field has announced that it will be buying an additional 36 helicopters in a $171 million contract. Most of these will be Th-73A helicopters to train student aviators.
Additionally, the Air Combat Command announced that Eglin Air Force Base will serve as a centerpiece in developing America’s capabilities in electronic warfare.
I am proud that Northwest Florida continues to be a national hub for military innovation, and I am honored to represent so many of our nation’s bravest patriots.

MATT GAETZ: Republicans Are Wrong On Remote Voting
This week, Republicans and Democrats will meet to elect their caucus leadership and pass caucus rules. Much like a vote on the high school homecoming court, it is a process that matters very little to most of us, and everything to the few who will be bestowed vaunted titles and crowns of one form or another.
