But that’s when my father gave me some advice I will never forget. He told me to get up off my butt and not let my son see me feeling sorry for myself.
So, I learned to walk again, went through hours of grueling physical therapy every single day, graduated college, worked in counter terrorism, and eventually was elected by the great people of Florida to serve as a Republican in the House of Representatives.
What drove me to keep fighting and inspired me to serve in the first place? Probably a sentiment you can relate with: I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on Earth.
I was proud to pledge my life in defense of this country, and I will continue to place service to America before myself in Congress - especially during this pivotal moment in history.
Just like on the battlefield, though, I’m going to need a team. In the most important midterm election we have ever faced as a nation, I need fellow warriors who will help me defend our freedom from Radical Left politicians who are trying to take our rights away.
