Since the start of 2025, Tampa Bay families have paid:
🏡 $939 more for housing costs.
🛒 $310 more for groceries.
⛽️ $655 more for gas.
🔌 $227 more for electricity.
Extreme politicians’ reckless wars, illegal tariffs, and expensive policies have cost my neighbors ~$4,200. We must rein in the corruption and extremism that’s costing you more. 💰
Your costs continue to rise, and corrupt politicians keep cashing in. Florida politicians illegally diverted $10M in taxpayer dollars meant for our neighbors' health care to political activities through Hope FL, and now they’re spending precious time and resources trying to kill the story.
Instead of fighting for you, they’re focused on covering up their corruption and cashing in. We can’t let this continue.

Since last year, 16,000 of my neighbors have lost their health coverage to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires.
Extreme politicians have sold the Big Ugly Bill under the guise of tax cuts for families, but here’s a secret they don’t want you to know: those tax cuts for families are temporary. Their tax breaks for billionaires are permanent, and so are the health care cuts.
You shouldn’t have to choose between health care and groceries while billionaires get giveaways and favors.
Would you look at that… Your electric bills keep climbing while the regulators paid to protect your pocketbook enjoy luxury retreats funded by utility companies. Utility insiders get VIP access. You get stuck with higher bills.
This corruption will keep costing you until we hold regulators and utility companies accountable.

Inflation jumped again in September, outpacing what experts expected. Gas prices have remained steadily above $4/gallon for 158 days consecutively—a new record!
Families cannot afford for this to continue. A reckless war in Iran and rampant corruption in Washington are crushing my neighbors, and I won’t stand for it.

Lung cancer takes the lives of too many Floridians every year. I'm leading a bipartisan bill to remove red tape and expand access to low-dose CT screening for our at-risk neighbors.

It’s been two years since Hurricanes Helene and Milton made landfall within two weeks of each other. Tampa Bay hadn’t experienced such a devastating hurricane season in our lifetimes.
After the storms, I worked alongside my neighbors to clean up and recover. I saw the very best of our community in an incredibly difficult time.
Reflecting on the two years since, I’m proud of our resilience and our action. We care for each other in Tampa Bay, and this anniversary is a good reminder to look out for your neighbors and yourselves. 🙏🏻

The reckless war in Iran has been actively raising everyday costs for almost 8 months. From the gas pump to the grocery store, families are feeling the squeeze.
Congress has taken three bipartisan votes to rein in the conflict, and service members are still being sent into harms way. It’s time to end this war.

Congress passed IDEA to ensure students with disabilities get a quality public education.
But this regime is diverting BILLIONS to private schools that can reject students or ignore special needs.
Public funds belong in public schools—where every child's rights are guaranteed.
Hillsborough neighbors, protect yourself and your family from mosquitoes carrying dengue fever. 🦟 The county has extended its local state of emergency through Oct. 8.

Life already costs too much. You shouldn’t worry that corruption, fraud, and corporate wrongdoing will make it worse.
The FTC is key to keeping corporations accountable—that’s why I introduced the 21st Century FTC and FTC Autonomy Acts with @JanSchakowsky to strengthen its ability to act and restore civil penalties for first time offenses. I’m committed to restoring the FTC’s autonomy and authority, and I urge Congress to pass this important legislation.
Families need affordable health coverage, not more economic pain caused by ripping health care away.
I led a resolution to ensure that a predatory rule change to kick 2 million Americans off their health care and send costs soaring does not go into effect. Today, the Senate is voting on its companion to ensure everyone can access health care—not just the wealthy and well-connected.
I’m committed to making health care affordable and accessible, and I’ll work with anyone to get it done, regardless of their party or chamber. I urge my Senate colleagues to pass the resolution.
Thanks to @SenatorBaldwin and @RepTomSuozzi for their partnership in keeping our neighbors covered!
