Hello, Friends —

Thank you to everyone who supported me as I head back to Congress to fight for Florida's First District. Despite the increasing prospects of a Republican House majority, it will be imperative to maintain the strong conservative values that many of these members invoked in their election bids. 

Moreover, with Joe Biden's recent announcement that he plans to run for re-election in 2024, the spotlight will be on Republicans in Congress to hold to our true values.

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Today is Veterans Day, and I want to recognize our distinguished and proud heroes for their selfless service to our nation. Florida's First District is home to one of the largest veteran populations in the country, making FL-1 a district full of patriots, hard-working Americans, and true heroes, to which I owe my fullest gratitude. Thank you for your service to America and for making our nation a shining beacon of hope, freedom, and opportunity. For your dedicated service and sacrifice, I will continue to fight for you.

AROUND THE DISTRICT

Florida Republican Matt Gaetz says 'Trump alone' must be 2024 nominee

"Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz gave a full-throated endorsement of former President Donald Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination on Wednesday as other conservatives blamed the ex-president for the Republican Party's middling performance in the midterm elections. While some conservative commentators lashed out at Trump after several of his endorsed candidates lost their races Tuesday, Gaetz wrote in a Daily Caller op-ed that a Trump 2024 run is "necessary" to "continue to disrupt and serve the people against the Swamp." The job President Trump started was not finished. Only Trump can be trusted to enact the ‘America First’ agenda he ran on in 2016. We won’t accept any imitation," Gaetz wrote."
