Today we celebrate Flag Day — the anniversary of the day in 1777 when the Stars and Stripes became our official flag. For nearly 250 years, Old Glory has flown over battles for freedom, triumphs of liberty, and the unbreakable spirit of the American people. Happy Flag Day.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to sit down with the Associated Builders and Contractors - Florida Gulf Coast Chapter to discuss critical issues impacting the construction industry. I am always grateful to hear from the hardworking men and women who help build and strengthen our communities every day in Florida.

More resources. More rescues. More protection for the vulnerable.

Within the Secure America Act is a provision from my bill the Renewed Hope Act. It delivers hundreds of new investigators to track down the 89,000 missing children depicted in child sexual abuse material and bring their abuser to justice. This legislation is law!

I was honored to join President Donald J. Trump today at the signing of the Secure America Act. Not only will this legislation provide full funding to ICE and Border Patrol Agents, but it will strengthen the federal government’s capacity to identify, rescue, and protect children who are victims of online sexual exploitation, a provision from my legislation, the Renewed Hope Act.

Honored to have President Trump's endorsement of my bill, the James T. Wood's Act! Sextortion is a devastating crime that preys on fear, shame, and vulnerability—especially among children. When predators threaten to distribute explicit images of minors, the harm is real and often irreversible. Congress has a duty to ensure our laws keep pace with the tactics used by online predators, and this legislation closes a critical gap to protect children and deliver justice for victims.

I am incredibly proud to have secured federal funding for Lakeland Fire Station 8 and to see this important project finally begin. Public safety is one of the most important commitments we could make to our communities. The fast-growing community of Northwest Lakeland will now receive improved response times and extra support for our amazing first responders. I am excited to see this investment help the FL-15 families.

Groundbreaking marks key investment in public safety, staffing and faster response times north of Interstate 4

Within the Secure America Act contains language from my bill, the Renewed Hope Act. More than 89,000 children depicted in child sexual abuse material remain unidentified.

We have a responsibility to find them and bring their predators to justice. For every child still waiting to be found, this is renewed hope.

Thousands of American heroes stormed the beaches of Normandy eighty-two years ago today. On June 6, 1944, they faced unimaginable odds with unbreakable courage and changed the course of history. Today, we pause to honor their extraordinary sacrifice, remember their valor, and ensure that the greatest generation is never forgotten.
