Senator Rick Scott said, “Parents know what is best for their children and keeping them safe is my top priority. I am thankful for the opportunity to travel to Ft. Myers and hear from parents and their community leaders about what they are most focused on when it comes to raising their families. Unfortunately, the fentanyl crisis continues to rage, AI has started to creep into our kids’ lives, the border is wide open and I hear from parents that they’re constantly worried about their children—it is time to act. That is why I have introduced extensive legislation such as my Upholding the Law at our Border Act to secure the border and ensure all laws regarding immigration are being followed, my RADAR Act to combat the fentanyl crisis, and my School Guardian Act and Luke and Alex School Safety Act to bolster school safety measures. We need to build a world that they are safe to grow up and go to school in, and I am fighting to give parents the comfort of waking up, dropping their kids off at school and feeling reassured that they will return home every single day. We can all agree we must do everything we can to keep our kids safe at school, home and online. We’ve made progress, but I won’t stop fighting until we get this all done.”
