The Florida Gators didn’t come this far to stop now.
Locked in. Grounded. Humble.
Now it’s time to FINISH.
As Alijah Martin said:
“Stay grounded. Stay humble.”
Let’s bring it home.

America’s retail and distribution industries are facing a serious and accelerating threat: an overwhelming surge of direct-to-consumer shipments entering the U.S. each day under outdated policies that allow foreign sellers to bypass trade laws, avoid safety standards, and pay nothing in duties. This loophole is costing American jobs, undercutting U.S. businesses, and eroding the integrity of our supply chains.
This week, I met with James Marcum, CEO of @davidsbridal, and Richard Westenberger, CEO of @Carters—two leaders on the front lines of this crisis. We had a productive, solution-driven conversation about the urgent need to reform this broken system and protect American businesses from being squeezed out of their own market.
As a member of the @WaysandMeansGOP, I’m working to close trade loopholes and ensure all importers follow U.S. laws, meet safety standards, and contribute their fair share. I appreciate the insights shared by James and Richard, which will help shape my ongoing efforts to support American businesses, protect jobs, and strengthen our supply chains.
Grateful to be featured by @NAFTZ for #ILoveFTZsDay! 🚢📦

True greatness is a King who chose to enter the world not in power or majesty, but in poverty and humility, born in a manger to show us that it’s not what we have, but how deeply we love and serve others, that truly matters – at Fernandina Beach, FL

Per ULI & NAOIP’s methodology, if 2% of Mexico’s 908.5M SF industrial RE was tied to e-comm, it could support 32K–73K+ jobs. Population= Palm Beach, FL, up to a Boulder, CO.
U.S. FTZs could recapture these jobs with De Minimis Parity #321.

Our partners at @GNVChamber recently stopped by to learn more about how JAXPORT’s Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) No. 64 can benefit businesses in their community.
FTZ No. 64 is in the process of adding Eastern Alachua County to its coverage area. #jaXportpartners #Xmarksthespot
Apparently tiger cubs like soft serve and tiger trainers like Dreamsicle shakes. Oh so good, just over a mile from the office, the temptation is real. #springfield #dreamette
