    I know this is an issue that is near and dear to your family. The Congenital Heart Futures Act was just signed into law. Better research = better cures. This is good news for all CHD patients.

    ICYMI- Nothing can bring back my constituent, Carrie Dempsey, who died in this tragedy—but we can and must work together to address gaps in safety precautions and prevent future loss of life.

    National security is too important to be used as a political football. Border security is essential to national security and we need to fund the Department of Homeland Security at a level necessary to protect all Americans.

    I was happy to vote for final passage of the Action for Dental Health Act of 2018, which I co-sponsored. This important bill improves oral health education and dental disease prevention while reducing the use of the emergency room to treat dental pain.

    I was proud to vote for the Strengthening Healthcare Fraud Prevention Task Force Act, which passed the House. Recently, my bill to increase the civil and criminal penalties for Medicare/Medicaid fraud became law. Fighting fraud helps ensure the sustainability of these programs.

    Florida has been ranked as the best state for broadband deployment by a new RStreet report. This shows how our state will lead the development of next generation Internet services which will bring additional jobs, revenue, and amenities to our area.

    NFIP is set to expire on Friday. Many of my constituents rely on this program, and it is vital to both our local economy and housing market. Last year, the House passed a bill to reform and extend NFIP, but the Senate has not yet taken action. I urge them to do so ASAP!

    I enjoyed speaking to students in the AVID program at Martinez Middle School this week. These bright young leaders had great questions about the process of applying to a Military Service Academy, and about my role as their elected representative.

    I enjoyed visiting North Tampa Behavioral Health in Wesley Chapel. It is one of the local providers of mental health and substance abuse treatment in our community. We discussed additional needs that exist as we remove barriers to accessing treatment.

    Yesterday's bill signing ceremony marked the 25th initiative I have written to become law since 2015. These laws may not be the flashiest, headline-grabbing initiatives, but they are improving the lives of millions of Americans. #25
