My favorite place is where I live in Jacksonville.
-
On the First Coast, there's a team of individuals working extremely hard for the future of JAXPORT. On the road ahead, I look forward to working with them to see that the Port is afforded every opportunity to grow and expand. The challenge is large, but we are all up for it.
-
Naval Station Mayport and Naval Air Station Jacksonville are the East Coast home for the MH-60Rs, and the nation's P-8A fleet and Triton operations facility are based at Naval Air Station Jacksonville.
-
Ensuring ports are dredged is essential to securing America's place in global trade.
-
If we do not act quickly, Jaxport will fall behind competitors on the East Coast - and the economic engine that has driven this community for the past decade will be put in danger.
-
I work hard, and I'm thankful people recognize that.
-
I don't have any intention to be anti-gay or to persecute the gay community.
-
I am proud of the work we have accomplished for the citizens of Northeast Florida and our nation during my time in Congress.

I have had no concerns in the past and have none moving forward regarding the Navy's ability to effectively address any potential natural or man-made threat to Naval Station Mayport and any military asset located there, including any future nuclear aircraft carrier.

A great deal of the work I do involves the military.
-
The IRS should and must focus on the most important and most egregious and the most in need.
-
I'm usually torn by, 'What's the role of government to cure injustice?' Families, churches, and schools can be more of an instrument of change.

Once our carrier fleet went all nuclear in 2005, we went from having two aircraft carrier homeports on the East Coast to one.
-
I showed people Republicans in Florida can do more than talk.
-
I don't really worry what outside groups who score votes think. My job is to represent the people.
-
Each year, we learn that customer service diminishes. You may argue it's because the IRS budget has been cut, but I'm going to argue that it's because the IRS chooses to spend its funds in other areas like the Affordable Care Act, bonuses, and conferences.
-
I never thought that one day that this NAS Jax would be the center of aviation excellence in the Southeast and from pole to pole.
-
The exploration for oil and gas off our shores can play a role in making energy more affordable and accessible... However, effective safety measures must be in place, and exploration must be done in an environmentally sensitive manner that in no way interferes with our military.
-
When you put all your eggs in one basket, you've got a problem.
-
You've got to look at the promises I kept. It's not just talking about doing things: it's doing them.
-
Claude Kirk was probably the most charismatic person I ever met.
-
Every American has the freedom to choose a particular lifestyle, but that doesn't mean every American has to embrace a particular lifestyle as equally worthy.
-
There's no federal government agency that ought to be immune from having to explain the potential financial impact of an action they've taken or intend to take. We deserve the specifics.

Larger Post Panamax ships are critical to securing America's position in a global market, and all our ports, including Jaxport, must be deep enough to handle them.
