I am proud to endorse @realDonaldTrump in his 2024 campaign!

President Trump is the right leader to seize this moment by building upon past accomplishments, reversing the disastrous policies of the Biden administration, and restoring America's standing in the world.

Long before I ever ran for office, I learned what real public service looks like by watching my father, Michael Bilirakis. He believed serving others was both a duty and an honor, and his devoted work for our community, particularly our Veterans, still resonates today.

This Father’s Day, I’m grateful for his example and for every Dad and Grandfather passing those same values on to the next generation. Happy Father’s Day.

As the son of a Veteran, I have always known the debt of gratitude we owe to the men and women who serve our great nation.

Today, we honor our service members, Veterans, and military families for their sacrifice, courage, and unwavering commitment to defending freedom.

May God bless our troops and the United States of America.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a time to remember that many wounds are not visible.

I’m proud to have fought for $2 million to expand mental-health services at Federally Qualified Health Centers to ensure our entire community has access to critical care resources.

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedom.

The names of these heroes live on in the hearts of their families, in the communities they served, and in the country they gave everything to protect.

May God bless our fallen heroes, their loved ones, and the United States of America.

On this National Day of Prayer, we come together as one nation under God.

Today, let us pray for our country, our military, our Veterans, and the families who make America strong. May God continue to bless Florida, our United States, and all who work to preserve the freedoms we hold dear. #NationalDayOfPrayer

We're looking forward to making Florida affordable again and building on the important work we've already accomplished alongside the Trump Administration, such as no taxes on overtime and a new deduction for seniors.

The fight doesn't stop. I'm proud to have you on our team. Let's win in November!

Thank God for the quick actions of law enforcement to subdue the shooter at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. The unity of our nation will not be defeated by twisted individuals with evil intentions.

Welcome home, Artemis crew!

We are grateful for your courage, dedication, and service to our country. Your mission represents the very best of American leadership and ingenuity, and it continues to inspire people across our country, including right here in Florida.

Today the nation is celebrating your incredible achievement.

Happy Easter! Wishing you a family-filled day, celebrating faith, sharing traditions, and rejoicing together in this new season of peace. He is risen. Have a safe & happy holiday.

As we observe Good Friday, we are united by the depth of our faith & our enduring hope in difficult times. Jesus’ sacrifice inspires compassion in all we do.

Washington dysfunction has consequences. Senate Democrats are playing politics with Department of Homeland Security funding, and it’s Americans who are paying the price. From airport delays to frontline workers at the TSA and air traffic controlers left in limbo. That's not fair. That's not leadership. That is unnacceptable. Our first job is public safety and these Democrats are putting our country at risk!

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

Happy Presidents Day! Proud to serve in Washington alongside one of the greatest of our lifetime.

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring message of hope and faith. His leadership challenged our nation to live up to its highest ideals and treat every person with dignity and respect. Violent protestors in Minnesota and elsewhere would do well to honor his legacy by immediately ceasing destructive and illegal protests and instead strengthen our communities by working together for America.

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

As we enter 2026, I’m grateful for our shared patriotism and the work we’ve done to protect our Constitution and put America First. Let’s keep fighting for lower costs, secure borders, and a brighter future for our families, Veterans, and Seniors. Wishing you a safe, prosperous, and joy-filled New Year! 🎉

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

I am deeply grateful to represent District 12 in the U.S. House of Representatives, and I look forward to continuing to advocate on behalf of our Seniors, Veterans, families, and businesses in the coming year.

From my family to yours, Merry Christmas and may God bless you in the year ahead.

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

We remember the lives lost and the brave heroes of December 7th, 1941. We are all in debt to the sacrifices of the Greatest Generation, and on Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day, we honor their patriotism, sacrifice, and enduring legacy.

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

Representing our incredible community of families, Seniors, and Veterans is one of the greatest honors of my life. Every day in Washington, I am reminded of the resiliency, generosity, and patriotism that define the people of Florida’s 12th District. I am genuinely thankful for the trust you place in me.

Today our prayers are also with the National Guard Members who were senselessly shot in DC. Thank you to all our heroes at home and abroad - may God keep you and your families safe.

Happy Thanksgiving!

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

On November 11, Veterans Day, we honor the heroes who have risked everything to defend our great nation. Their dedication, courage, and sacrifice continue to inspire us all.

In Congress, I remain committed EVERY SINGLE DAY to ensuring every veteran receives the care, support, and respect they’ve earned. From improving VA services to expanding mental health and job programs, we will never stop fighting for those who fought for us.

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

It is an honor to earn the endorsement of President @realDonaldTrump, whose historic leadership is paving the way for an American GOLDEN AGE.

Mr. President, you can count on me to fight for the America First agenda in Congress. #MAGA

[Gus Bilirakis @bilirakisforfl]

On National First Responders Day, we salute the everyday heroes who keep our communities safe.

From the firefighters and police officers to EMTs, nurses, and dispatchers - THANK YOU and may God bless you and keep your safe while you perform your critical jobs.
