Great Primary Day with Keith Truenow in Central Florida. He’s a TRUE conservative and will fight for families, freedom and Florida!

Congrats to my friend Tom Leek (@Leek_tj), the Republican nominee in Senate District 7! On to victory in November!

Great to be with Ron DeSantis this morning to launch “Activate Hope,” an expansion of Hope Florida to support Florida communities impacted by natural disasters. This program will be deployed to help Floridians get the resources and support they need >> hopeflorida.com

State parks allow residents & visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of our state. The parks also preserve natural lands, restore H20 resources & provide wildlife habitat. While I support public access, the plan to build hotels & pickle ball courts on our parks is a step too far.

Florida’s Disaster Preparedness Sales Tax Holiday has returned to help Floridians save more on essential hurricane preparedness supplies. Shop tax-free on eligible supplies now through September 6.

FEMA disaster assistance is now available in certain Florida counties for homeowners and renters impacted by Hurricane Debby. If you experienced uninsured damage or loss in the recent storm, head to disasterassistance.gov or call 1-800-621-3362 for more information.

Great visit to Nucor Steel with Berny Jacques. Steel is used to reinforce many of our public works projects. That’s why I passed HB 674 this year prioritizing U.S. steel in any state-funded project. It ensures we buy quality products while supporting American jobs.

This is a big win for Florida! After a nationwide search, aircraft manufacturer Pilatus selected SRQ for its new sales and service facility. Expected to open in 2026, this new facility will bring jobs, revenue and more opportunities to our region. msn.com/en-us/money/co…

Happy #NationalBeachDay from the sunny gulf shores of Florida!

Happy Labor Day!

On #NationalWildlifeDay, we’re blessed to call the Gulf Coast home. From our pristine beaches and dunes to the lush estuaries, salt marshes, and mangroves south of Tampa Bay, our coastlines are full of abundant wildlife.

In September 2022, Kamala Harris claimed “the border is secure” on national television. That same month, there were 272k encounters with illegal immigrants at borders nationwide, the worst September in decades.

Great to join City of Bradenton, Florida - Government for the ribbon cutting ceremony of their new Public Safety Operations Center. This space ensures that Manatee County can continue to deliver on the highest standard of safety for our community. Congratulations!

Being a grandparent is one of life’s greatest joys! It is such a blessing for Sandy and me to watch our children raise their own.

Terrifying to think of the current “border czar” taking on more responsibility. She’s failed to keep our communities safe, and she will fail our country. Donald J. Trump will lead our nation back to greatness! foxnews.com/video/63593539…

Today we reflect on the lives lost and honor the heroes of 9/11. #PatriotDay #UnitedWeStand

Join me in wishing Ron DeSantis a Happy Birthday! Hope it’s a good one!
