Focused on South Florida Families

Skyrocketing property insurance. Gas over $4 a gallon. Prescription drug costs through the roof. Working families and seniors across South Florida are doing everything right and still feel like they can't get ahead, and Washington wastes their tax dollars every day. Jared authored legislation to cut homeowners' property insurance premiums, one of the biggest costs squeezing Florida families, and he has fought to bring down prescription drug prices, expand affordable housing, and crack down on the price gouging that quietly drains family budgets, putting money back in people's pockets. He's also fighting to restore the expanded Child Tax Credit that cut child poverty nearly in half before Washington let it expire, and to bring down the cost of childcare. No family should pay more for daycare than they do for their mortgage.

Seniors who have worked hard their entire life are getting squeezed. Republicans have threatened to cut Social Security and Medicare and have undermined support services for those programs. Jared is fighting back against every effort to weaken or privatize these programs, and he's working to strengthen Medicare and bring down the cost of prescription drugs. When Republicans rammed through their "Big Beautiful Bill" slashing nearly a trillion dollars from Medicaid, Jared fought against the bill. Now he's working to reverse those cuts before seniors, people with disabilities, and working families lose their coverage.

Republicans have let premiums almost double for millions of Americans, including thousands right here in South Florida. Jared is fighting to defend and strengthen the Affordable Care Act, because no one should have to choose between seeing a doctor and paying their bills. Jared is fighting to restore the enhanced ACA tax credits Republicans let expire, so the tens of thousands of South Floridians who buy their own coverage aren't priced out of it. In the long-term, Jared believes healthcare is a right, and he supports moving toward a Medicare for All system that guarantees coverage to every American, because nobody's health should depend on their paycheck.

When 17 people were killed at Jared's alma mater, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, he turned grief into action, working with Parkland families and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle to pass Florida's red flag protections and raise the age to buy a firearm to 21. In Congress, he has carried that fight forward as a Vice Chair of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force and a sponsor of bipartisan bills like the MSD Act to strengthen emergency response and keep our schools safe. For Jared, this is personal, and he'll never stop working to keep every student and family safe.

Antisemitism is rising at an alarming rate, and Jared knows the threat firsthand. He has called out antisemitism from Democrats and Republicans alike and staunchly defended Israel. As a Jewish member of Congress whose great-grandparents were killed at Auschwitz, and grandparents who barely escaped Europe, Jared understands why the U.S.-Israel relationship is critical, and why it must be defended. As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, he has been a steadfast voice for America's support for Israel, backing continued security assistance, keeping the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem, and supporting the expansion of the Abraham Accords to strengthen peace in the region.

In Congress, Jared has been unafraid to take on both parties. He supports banning members of Congress from trading stocks, because lawmakers shouldn't profit off information the public doesn't have. He has fought to release the Epstein files, because victims deserve justice and the government should never bury the truth to protect powerful people in either party. And while Washington works overtime to protect its own, Jared is fighting to strengthen the watchdogs, investigators, and oversight to ensure that our elected leaders are always working in the interest of those they represent.

Our immigration system is broken, and Floridians want both a secure border and a system that actually works. Jared supports strong border security, and he broke with members of his own party who wanted to defund the agencies that keep our communities safe, but he also believes enforcement has to be accountable and humane, not cruelty for its own sake. He'll work with anyone to secure the border, fix a system that has failed for decades, improve pathways to citizenship, and treat people with basic decency.

Decisions about a woman's health belong to her and her doctor, not to politicians in Tallahassee or Washington. Jared opposes Florida's extreme abortion ban and will defend the right to reproductive freedom and access to care against every effort to strip it away.

No one in Congress has done this work like Jared. As the former Director of Florida's Division of Emergency Management, a role he was appointed to by a Republican governor, he led the state's response to hurricane after hurricane, because hurricanes don't hit Democrats or Republicans, they hit Floridians. He has carried that hands-on experience to Congress, working across the aisle to reform FEMA and make disaster response faster and more accountable, all while protecting our coastlines, the Everglades, and the paradise we call home from rising seas and stronger storms.

Jared has used his seat on the Judiciary Committee to demand accountability and shine a light on corruption and abuse in both parties. Protecting free and fair elections and the freedom to vote is the work that makes every other priority possible, and Jared will never stop defending it.
