Dear Friends, 

President Trump’s first 100 days of his second term have confirmed that our nation is stronger, safer, and more secure under his leadership.

We have seen bold action to secure our southern border, restore law and order, and jumpstart our economy. President Trump is putting American jobs, families, and values front and center.

The administration is slashing federal regulations and standing firm against foreign adversaries. Inflation is coming down, egg prices have dropped by 50%, energy costs are stabilizing, and business confidence is rising across the board. Most notably, illegal border crossings have fallen by 95% in just 100 days.

President Trump is delivering real results—more than the Biden administration achieved in four years. Our country is now safer, stronger, and more respected than ever before. Here in Congress, I’m ready to make sure these results are here to stay. 

I look forward to working alongside President Trump to build on this momentum and keep America moving in the right direction.

Sincerely,

Your Congressman, 
Carlos A. Gimenez 

Advancing the President Trumps's America First Mandate

Last week, two of the committees I serve on—Homeland Security and Armed Services—advanced critical budget reconciliation bills that will fund and strengthen the protection of our homeland and support our military.

I’m proud of the work we've accomplished to invest in vital security infrastructure and to ensure our brave men and women have the resources they need to defend this great nation.

Welcoming President Uribe

It is a pleasure to welcome the best president Colombia has ever had to the US Congress, President Alvaro Uribe Velez. 

Together, we will continue working to eradicate socialism in the 21st century.

Sending Castro Regime Agents back to Cuba

I continue to call on the U.S. Government to deport all known Castro regime agents from our communities.

Just recently, Hector Alejandro Hernandez Morales, a body man and intelligence officer for Fidel Castro was found in South Florida trying to get his green card. He must be investigated and if these accusations are true, be sent back to Communist Cuba.

Ending Jew Hatred

Across our nation and around the world — from college campuses to city streets — antisemitism is on the rise. On #EndJewHatred Day, let us condemn antisemitism wherever and whenever it appears.
