This past week, President Trump delivered a powerful address during the Joint Session of Congress, outlining his vision for restoring American strength and the steps needed to get our country back on track.
The President highlighted the critical challenges facing our nation, and I fully support his call to secure our borders, rebuild our military, and take decisive action against our foreign adversaries. The growing threats from Communist China, Putin’s Russia, and the Iranian regime cannot be ignored. We must make strategic investments in shipbuilding and protect vital U.S. national security assets, such as the Panama Canal.
President Trump’s leadership provides a clear path forward as we work together to strengthen our economy, secure our nation, and restore American leadership on the global stage.
Sincerely,
Your Congressman, Carlos A. Gimenez
