But as a new member of Congress, I want to start by saying how honored I am that you have placed your trust in me to serve you in Washington D.C. and since taking the office, my focus has been to bring common sense solutions to Washington that reflect the values and priorities of the people that I have the honor of representing. Over the past few months, I've been working to pass common sense policies like securing our border, supporting law enforcement, keeping tax dollars in your pocket, and growing our economy. It's been over six months since I took office and my focus has been simple deliver results for the space and Treasure coast in Florida. In Washington, I voted for major bills to protect your paycheck, secure the border, stop voter fraud, crack down on fentanyl, and cut reckless spending. Most notably, we just passed what's called the One Big Beautiful Bill, a game changing package that puts Americ to work and puts America first. It has delivered historic tax cuts for the middle class and small businesses, making it easier to save, invest and get ahead. It secures our border. And as you probably know, we've actually reduced the number of people coming through the border by 99% since the beginning of the year. And that also means we're cracking down on things like human trafficking and fentanyl. We've also, of course, made a huge investment in NASA. Our.
