I'm proud to announce that thanks to the American Rescue Plan, Port Tampa Bay is getting an additional 20 million dollars to keep our cruise operations alive, expand cargo and tonnage capacity, and Build Back Better!

As a Navy Officer now assigned to Maritime Sealift Command, I understand the importance of commercial shipping and the lifeblood that is Port Tampa Bay to our community. I'm proud to stand by them in these challenging times.

COVID relief efforts have saved thousands of local businesses already, cut childhood poverty, and staved off the worst fears of the pandemic-recession. Our fight isn't over, but our efforts to get shots into arms and dollars into pockets quickly is working.
