Twenty years in Congress. One mission that never changed.

It’s time to lock the clock.

My Sunshine Protection Act passed the House with strong bipartisan support. I’m working with @flsenrickscott, who leads the Senate companion bill, to send permanent daylight saving time to President Trump’s desk and get this signed into law. My bill brings many economic, safety, family and health benefits to Americans nationwide. by @repvern
