Fighting in Italy, #OTD in 1944 Army Private James Henry Mills of Polk County fearlessly led his platoon forward, single-handedly clearing enemy positions and ensuring the safety of his fellow soldiers. He is one of seven Floridians who received the Medal of Honor for service during World War II. To learn more or to visit the James H. Mills Memorial in Lakeland, visit https://t.co/Llg7HiGw5e.

Had a great time with Sheriff Grady Judd, and Representatives Jennifer Canady and Hilary Holley at Reececliff Family Diner.
Thank you to all the patriots who packed the house and brought the energy this morning.
We can't wait to be back in Imperial Polk County!
Important conversations take flight at #FLPoly. State Rep. @JenniferCanady_ joined Justin Shore with Wing and Chief Murray for a panel on drone technology, privacy, and safety as part of our Fantastic Forces: Elements in Action series. 💜https://t.co/aeV6njFd5i
🚨HILARY HOLLEY HIGHLIGHTS AGRICULTURAL PRIORITIES: Candidate for State Representative expressed a deep commitment to the agricultural communities she aims to represent, and brings with her a rich background in the field
There is no greater patriot for our nation than Susie Wiles - we stand together, united in prayer, for her successful treatment and a full recovery. Florida is with you!
May God bless and comfort the family of American hero Capt. Cody A. Khork of Lakeland, who was killed in a drone attack in Kuwait on Sunday. 🇺🇸
Our hearts are with his loved ones and the entire Polk County community. We will never have enough words to express our gratitude for the extraordinary courage of the men and women who serve and protect our nation.
This morning, I got a text from my friend. @JosieTomkow. She told me she had met a supporter of our campaign named Brenda.
Some things are bigger than politics.
This afternoon, we decided to take a detour from our schedule in Tampa, and we stopped by to meet her!
Tremendously proud of @AdamAndersonFL and his leadership saving lives and helping families at @FSUMed Rare Disease Day at the Florida Institute for Pediatric Rare Disease at @FloridaState.
I am sponsoring House Bill 995 to ensure teacher’s unions serve the best interests of educators, students, and families—not their own woke agendas.
Encouraging students to miss class for political protests is inconsistent with a union’s responsibility to strengthen education and support the professionals who deliver it. Accountability and a clear commitment to student learning must come first!
In honor of George Washington’s birthday and @America250FL, Florida State Parks will offer free admission from Feb. 13 through Feb. 16, so you can experience the landscapes that shaped the nation’s earliest chapters.
You may not realize it, but San Marcos de Apalache Historic State Park, Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park and more #FLStateParks have significant ties to the Revolutionary War era.
Free admission applies to day-use only and excludes Skyway Fishing Pier State Park and Olustee Battlefield Historic State Park. All other fees, including overnight accommodations, special events, concessions and rentals from park vendors, will remain in effect.

Florida State Rep. @AdamAndersonFL lost his beautiful son, Drew. Now he’s trying to help other families dealing with rare disease from suffering the same loss.

Florida continues to lead the nation as a place where ambition meets opportunity. From thriving small businesses to CEOs choosing our state for innovation and growth, we’re building an economy that works for everyone. Proud of Florida’s pro-growth policies and quality of life.
Today, President @RealDonaldTrump took decisive action to bring peace & security to our hemisphere & strike a major blow against drug cartels who profit off the death & destruction of American lives. I’m thankful to all the US personnel for their bravery & dedication to freedom.
As the first night of Hanukkah comes to a close, we mourn the innocent victims of the horrific attack at Bondi Beach. Antisemitism has no place in our society. We stand with the victims, their families, and the Jewish community against hatred and violence.
The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack in Australia targeting a Jewish celebration.
Antisemitism has no place in this world. Our prayers are with the victims of this horrific attack, the Jewish community, and the people of Australia.
Thank you to Representative @JenniferCanady_ for joining us to release the 800th Bald Eagle rehabilitated by the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey!
