It's time for Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Florida's Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo to resign.
We're facing a lot of challenges right now, and it's getting harder and harder for North Florida families to get by.
I'm running for Congress because we need to elect a Representative that fights for you — no matter your party, where you live, or how much money you have.
From Seaside to Steinhatchee, our beautiful Gulf Coast is the backbone of North Florida's regional economy and a critical asset to tourism, our seafood industry, and Tyndall Air Force Base. I will work with anyone — regardless of party — to ensure drilling is banned off our coastal waters forever.
The tariffs imposed on us by the Administration are costing U.S. small businesses $85 billion annually. In #FL02, this impacts the ability of our mom and pop shops to hire, expand, and serve our local communities.
We need folks in Congress who will fight for Main Street America and protect local jobs. As your Congressman, that's exactly what I'll do.
From Panama City and Port St. Joe, to Apalachicola and Perry, we're facing a property insurance crisis. We need leaders who will stand up to the insurance companies and government bureaucrats who are responsible for this crisis.
I'm ready to get to work so we can find bipartisan solutions that provide stability and ensure families in North Florida aren't burdened with skyrocketing premiums.
A bipartisan group of farmers and ag leaders wrote a powerful letter that warns about the "widespread collapse of American agriculture" due to tariffs and congressional inaction.
From Chipley to Madison, I've been listening to farm families. They don't want more government bailouts. They want stable markets.
Data centers are expanding on a massive scale, and it's impacting us right here in North Florida.
These facilities can be double the size of the Pentagon, and utilize as much power as entire cities—creating significant stress on our local power grid, land, and water resources.
It is critical that we implement protections not only for our local environment, but enforce rules that ensure these companies don't cause our utility rates to skyrocket.
Young people are facing one of the worst entry-level job markets in decades.
Finance and information services — industries that once provided an on-ramp for the lion’s share of recent college graduates, are shedding an average of 9,000 jobs per month.
In Congress, I’ll work every day to expand workforce development opportunities and increase funding for career and technical programs so that our kids can live, work, and raise a family right here at home.
My team and I were proud to have joined thousands of Rattlers for the FAMU Homecoming Parade! As a former Rickards Drumline alum who got to play with the Marching 100, it truly felt like coming home. Thanks so much to Brian and his family, the Capital Battery Drumline, and all of our volunteers for making yesterday so special. Strike!! Strike!! and STRIKE AGAIN!!!
Everywhere I go, from Panama City to Monticello, folks across North Florida are telling me the same thing: The American Dream feels increasingly out of reach, and it's getting harder just to get by. It doesn't have to be this way. I'm focused on fighting for our jobs, our paychecks, and our future.
A stunning new report shows the richest Americans saw their net worth jump over 120% from 2017-2025. Meanwhile, in North Florida, housing remains unaffordable, health care costs have doubled, and Washington’s tariffs are shuttering farms and businesses across our region.
I’m running to deliver real economic relief for #FL02 families.

In the richest country in the world, North Florida families shouldn't have to worry about whether or not they can afford quality health care.
The Administration owes a refund check to every North Florida small business and household that lost hard-earned money due to these reckless tariffs.

We're being crushed by mounting costs every single day, and it's time folks get their money back.
The Administration's reckless war in Iran is causing prices at the pump to skyrocket—stretching our budgets even more as an affordability crisis gets worse and worse.
One month ago, a gallon of regular gas in Leon County was $2.90.
Now? It's $3.85.
We need leaders in Congress who will lower our energy costs and keep us out of wars in the Middle East.
When I get to Washington, that's exactly what I'll do.
Banning members of Congress from trading stocks while in office should be a no-brainer.
Right now, a bipartisan bill with nearly 100 Republican and Democratic co-sponsors is circulating in Congress that would prohibit members of Congress, their spouses, and dependents from owning and trading stocks.
I support this bill, but I believe we should go a step further.
We should ensure that the president and vice president are also prohibited by law from profiting off of insider information.
My team and I enjoyed participating in the Gadsden County Black History Parade and Festival in Quincy this weekend!
