"After much prayerful consideration and discussion with my beloved wife Sandy, I have decided "not to seek re-election to the United States House of Representatives,ā said Rep. Webster. āIt has been an honor and privilege to represent my beloved state in the U.S. House of Representatives. Iāve never taken for granted my responsibility to Floridaās hardworking taxpayers and families to advance common-sense reforms and principled policy. The time has come to pass the torch to the next conservative leader and spend more precious time with my wife, children and 24 grandchildrenā
A small business owner, Webster will retire with a legislative record of successfully ending government regulations that stifle job growth; improving programs that invest in our nationās waterways, roadways and highways; and securing a much-needed infusion of resources for our United States Coast Guard. He successfully pushed for the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to end use of depreciation schedules, helping small business owners reinvest back in their businesses. And last year, Congress adopted his position that American seniors deserved tax relief by including a Social Security income tax credit in the Working Families Tax Cuts bill.
Florida is turning one hot mess. DeSantis was once the darling of the Anti-Woke Movement, but since fallen from grace. His is pretty safe Republican Seat and should be no big upset in the election.
