Hello Waltz Warriors,
Despite the horrible destruction Hurricane Ian has caused, Floridians and
their unbreakable spirit will get through this tragedy.
We are dedicating this newsletter to sharing resources, highlighting the
latest recovery news, and sharing updates from Mike in the district.
Our hearts and prayers are with every single person who lost their homes and
livelihoods, and especially those who have lost loved ones.
Nothing is stronger than Florida’s fight to overcome. Together, we will get
through this tough time.

In the District
Over the last week, Mike has been in the district surveying the damage
Hurricane Ian caused and meeting with first responders at Emergency Operations
Centers in Volusia, Flagler and St. Johns counties in an effort to get a handle
on how the federal government can continue assisting storm victims.

Mike also met with Red Cross volunteers from all over the country at the
Daytona Beach Ocean Center shelter on Wednesday.
Thank you to all the brave first responders, service members, and volunteers
who are all working hard to keep our community informed and safe as we begin to
rescue & recover from the damage left behind by Hurricane Ian.

Mike visited the St. Johns River to report it is STILL rising and flooding
areas in central FL as the massive rainfall from the hurricane drains into our
rivers and lakes.

In the News
WALTZ ON BIDENS VACCINE MANDATE
On Monday, Mike joined Fox News' Fox and Friends First
<[link removed]> to discuss the Biden
administration's 'asinine' mandate that will cost some U.S. service members
their jobs:
"With natural disasters, Russia threatening nuclear war and China's rapid
military buildup, we can’t lose over 22k service members over a vaccine that
doesn’t stop the spread. Kicking out troops over a vaccine is illogical &
extremely harmful to our readiness and recruitment."

WALTZ ON HURRICANE IAN
Later that day, Mike joined Fox <[link removed]> again to
discuss Hurricane Ian's damage and the Biden Administration's vaccine mandate
further:
"[My district] really took a 1-2-3 punch between the river flooding, the
unprecedented amounts of rain, and storm surge on the east coast as well. We
have sewage facilities that were overwhelmed, roads that have been backed up,
dunes that have been breached, but the biggest piece is the historic level of
flooding."

WALTZ ON BIDENS TRIP TO FLORIDA
On Tuesday, Mike Waltz discussed expectations for Biden's trip to Florida to
survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ian onVarney & Co
<[link removed]>, saying:
"This is going to be a long-term effort. What I hope the president will do is
show leadership and encourage Pelosi and Schumer to not load up some future
disaster relief bill with progressive priorities. What I'd really like Congress
to do is look at some of our COVID and and repurpose that in the short-term
rather than spending new money."

WALTZ ON HURRICANE IAN, ILLEGAL MIGRANTS, & HUNTER BIDEN
Then on Wednesday, Mike joined Fox News' Gillian Turner
<[link removed]> to talk about the aftermath of Hurricane Ian in
Florida, illegal migrants, and Hunter Biden's business dealings.
"When I reach out to veterans who aren't getting the services they need,
teachers whose schools are already crowded, hospitals that can't provide all
the services they want to-- There is an opportunity cost to American citizens
when we have 2 million people a year that are flowing across our border."
