- For years, foreign nations have benefited from American pharmaceutical R&D while refusing to pay their fair share. @RepArrington, @RepNicole and I led 48 members of Congress to call on @USTradeRep and @howardlutnick to combat these harmful policies. buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/10/buc…
- Today, @HouseGOP ensured that ICE and Border Patrol have the resources they need to keep America safe. Border security is national security, and we cannot allow these critical agencies to be held hostage by political games in Washington. 🇺🇸 buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/09/buc…
- The expanded senior deduction we got done in the Working Families Tax Cuts supports nearly 200,000 seniors in my district. Thanks to @WaysandMeansGOP and @HouseGOP, our seniors can keep more of their Social Security and enjoy peace of mind.
00:00 - Every child deserves access to a strong, safe and well-resourced classroom. I welcomed the Greater Florida Consortium of School Boards, including @Manateeschools School Board Member Cindy Spray, to discuss investing in school infrastructure and strengthening school safety.
- The permanent 199A small business deduction in the Working Families Tax Cuts levels the playing field for small businesses across the country competing with major corporations. As @SecScottBessent laid out, it allows small businesses to hire, invest and plan for their future.
00:00 - Animal abuse is often one of the earliest indicators of domestic violence. Proud to lead the AVERT Future Violence Act with @repdinatitus and @RepBrianFitz to study the connection between domestic abusers and animal violence. More in @FOX13News:
- The small businesses in my district tell me that permanent 100% bonus depreciation in the Working Families Tax Cuts is key to their business decisions. Thank you @SecScottBessent for confirming before @WaysandMeansGOP that bonus depreciation is delivering for Main Street. 🇺🇸
00:00 - Safer streets and stronger trails make our communities healthier and more connected. Grateful to the Florida Bicycle Association for recognizing my work as Co-Chair of the Congressional Bike Caucus to protect cyclists and expand safe biking infrastructure across Florida.
- Congratulations to Bradenton’s Nelly Korda on winning the U.S. Women's Open! Last year, I had the chance to meet Nelly and it’s been exciting watching her represent our area. Her success is inspiring the next generation and shining a spotlight on women’s golf. Well done, Nelly!
- Philanthropy strengthens our communities in ways government alone cannot. I met with leaders from the Florida Community Foundations across the state to discuss how charitable giving supports health, education, and career development here in FL-16.
- Animal fighting is a brutal and inhumane practice that has no place in America. Proud to work with @RepTroyCarter to secure $2,000,000 to enforce animal welfare statutes and protect animals from cruelty in the FY27 Agriculture Appropriations bill. buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/05/buc…
- Full expensing for business investments is driving economic growth for small businesses across America. @SecScottBessent, thank you for confirming that @HouseGOP’s Working Families Tax Cuts are putting Main Street first. 🇺🇸 Read our full discussion: buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/04/icy…Full expensing has been one of the biggest drivers of America's manufacturing comeback and Main Street growth. By making it permanent, small businesses finally have the certainty they need to invest in new equipment, expand their operations, and create jobs for years to come.
