    As I travelled throughout the district today, I talked with business owners and residents being impacted by flooding. Down by the sponge docks, the flooding is already pretty bad. I am working to secure federal funding to help address this problem.

    I am proud to announce the new location of the consolidated West Pasco VA clinic, which was just selected by the VA today. I secured $11 million for this enhanced new facility, which will be more than double the current clinic’s size, offer more parking and expanded services

    It was inspiring to celebrate the unveiling of the new forever homes for the Donaldson and Sneed families in Dunedin. This special day was made possible by the partnership of Habitat for Humanity, the Pinball Clemons Foundation and the Warrick Dunn Charities foundation.

    I am concerned that Twitter has been used to facilitate threats of school violence. I appreciate its CEO’s willingness to explore improvements and timely communication directly with schools in the future.

    Today is International Overdose Awareness Day. Did you know that the majority of people in Pasco county who overdose are over the age of 65? I'd like to remind you to speak with your physician about overdose prevention if you are taking pain medication.

    During a Pasco County Opioid Workshop, local, state and federal leaders had a solution-oriented discussion. I shared the work I’ve been doing in Congress to increase funding (FL received $54 million last year and we just passed $4 billion more) and strengthen systems of care.

    It was a privilege to be invited to join local and state leaders for an open forum at Beacon Woods Civic Center last night. We had a great talk about a variety of topics including: the cost of Rx drugs, the importance of Medicare and Social Security and my work for Veterans.

    Honored to be on hand for a smooth start to the school year at Paul R. Smith Middle School. I had the privilege of talking to Cpl. Mills and Principal DiVincent about the role SROs play in providing school security, mentorship and the prevention of bullying and substance abuse.

    I received the Spirit of Enterprise award by the U.S. Chamber. The Chamber highlighted my work on tax reform and other measures to create an environment in which small businesses can thrive. I am proud to support small businesses because they employ the majority of Americans.

    It was great to provide a legislative update to the North Tampa Bay Chamber this week. We discussed many issues, including: my work on behalf of Veterans, the positive impact tax reform is having on our economy, school safety and the need for more bi-partisanship in Congress.

    Today, we honor the heroes who courageously served our nation and earned the oldest United States military decoration for combat-wounded Veterans. On National Purple Heart Day, we are united in gratitude, and reminded that the freedoms we cherish come with great sacrifice.

    I’m working to ensure that individual tax cuts become permanent. In the interim, this chart shows how the existing tax cut law is helping my constituents now and over the next 10 years.

    I am proud the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act passed the House this week. This fix is long overdue, as these Veterans have suffered far too long. I will continue to keep up the fight until the President signs this critical bill into law.
