Thankfully, security didn't toss me out when I CHEERED when he mentioned the funding of our Big Bend and I-75 interchange . In total...



the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has already brought more than $2,550,000,000 to Florida and another $10,750,000,000 is on the way!



While some want to play culture-wars and partisan politics, I'm putting in the WORK to deliver for YOU.
