On my drive home from church today, I passed another new Flock Safety surveillance camera in Pensacola. Nobody suspects me of a crime. Nobody has a warrant. Yet my vehicle, movements, and pictures are being logged into a searchable database for federal, state, and local agencies to access. The question isn't whether these cameras solve crimes. The question is: When did we decide that everyone should be tracked just in case? Do we want our children growing up with an AI surveillance system on every street corner?

I had a great time this morning at the AMVETS breakfast in Pensacola. Once elected to Congress, I'll work tirelessly to support our Veterans and make sure they receive the services and benefits they've earned through their service to our country.

The Chico Tax Plan will dramatically increase the number of jobs in North Florida. My proposal is simple: ✅ Tax cut for any company in America where at least 10% of employees are Veterans. Right now, Washington gives tax breaks to billionaires buying private jets, but they offer almost nothing meaningful for hiring Veterans unless they fit narrow, limited categories. That’s not just wrong. It’s backwards. Veterans are exactly what businesses say they want. They are leaders, problem solvers, and people who show up ready to work. However, we don’t systematically reward companies for hiring them. That has to change. This plan would bring real private-sector investment into Northwest Florida, reduce our overreliance on military spending, and put Veterans at the center of our economy where they belong. Vote Chico for Congress on August 18th. 🇺🇸

With all the discussion surrounding the gubernatorial debate, I wanted to point out that we still don't have a scheduled debate for the FL-01 congressional race. @JimmyPatronis I challenge you to a debate. You can choose the time and location, but it needs to be somewhere in FL-01 so you may have a bit of a drive to get there.

Glad to see my opposition joining the conversation on AI. For many months, I've argued that Americans need a Digital Bill of Rights to protect privacy, free speech, due process, and personal data in the digital age. AI is an important part of that discussion, but it's only one piece of a much larger challenge. As technology continues to evolve, our focus shouldn't be limited to today's headlines. We need lasting protections that safeguard the rights of every American online. Whether the issue is AI, data collection, facial recognition, social media, or technologies that haven't even been invented yet. I'm glad this conversation is finally gaining attention. The stakes are too high to ignore. FL-01 needs a Constitutional Fighter. Vote Chico on August 18th.

I enjoyed speaking at the Mossy Head Candidate Forum last night in Walton County. I was the only FL-01 Congressional candidate in attendance. It was great meeting people who know my family from the area and connecting with fellow Patriots who are frustrated that the Republican establishment in Washington has not moved to codify President Trump's executive orders. I also shared my plan to provide federal tax incentives for companies that hire our Veterans, helping diversify our local economy so it is not primarily dependent on the military and tourism industries. On the way to the event, I witnessed the aftermath of a terrible crash involving a semi-truck. Thank you to all the first responders who answered the call yesterday, and every day, to serve the people of Northwest Florida. The establishment is now panicking as our campaign continues to build momentum. LET'S SAVE AMERICA 🇺🇸
