Cammack Champions JAXPORT Upgrade as Port Wins $40 Million Federal Grant
Position: The release supports federal funding to rebuild the Blount Island berth at JAXPORT, arguing the port is critical to military deployments and Florida's economy and that modernizing its berths is necessary to accommodate post-Panamax ships.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) advocated for the funding to rebuild JAXPORT's Blount Island berth, and this week the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded $40 million to the Jacksonville Port Authority to start the rebuild. In a letter to Secretary Sean Duffy, Cammack argued the port is critical to military deployments and Florida's economy, and that modernizing its berths would let Blount Island fully support post-Panamax ships. The Maritime Administration's FY 2026 Port Infrastructure Development Program grant funds Phase I of the project, rebuilding roughly 900 linear feet of berth and increasing how much weight it can carry.
“When our troops have to move, they move through ports like this one. JAXPORT is one of 17 commercial seaports that support our military when it deploys, and the rest of the time, its cargo supports more than 258,800 Florida jobs. I made that case to Secretary Duffy in May because this berth has to be ready for both,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “This grant gets the work started, and I’ll keep pushing for the ports that keep Florida and our military moving.”
Congressman Aaron Bean (FL-04), whose district includes Blount Island, worked directly with the U.S. Department of Transportation to advance the project.
“The strength of Northeast Florida’s economy is directly tied to our ports,” said Congressman Bean. “I am pleased to have worked with my colleagues to secure this critical funding. Improving the infrastructure at Blount Island Marine Terminal will expand deepwater capacity and help ensure the safe, efficient, and reliable movement of goods through one of our nation’s most strategically important seaports.”
About the Project
Phase I will reconstruct roughly 900 linear feet of berth structure at Blount Island and increase its load-bearing capacity. Work includes bulkhead replacement, localized dredging, pile driving, a new toe wall, concrete deck reconstruction, heavy-duty crane rail, a fiber optic duct bank, utility upgrades, and high-mast lighting. It is the first step in a larger effort to modernize approximately 2,500 linear feet of berth at Berths 30 through 32, so Blount Island can fully support post-Panamax vessels using JAXPORT's 47-foot channel.
Background
In a May 19, 2026 letter to Secretary Duffy, Congresswoman Cammack supported JAXPORT's application and urged full and fair consideration of the project.
JAXPORT is Florida's largest container port by volume. Cargo activity through the port supports over 258,800 jobs and nearly $44 billion in annual economic output for Florida.
JAXPORT handles approximately 90% of the cargo that moves between Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland.
On October 27, 2026, DOT announced $498 million in Port Infrastructure Development Program grants for 35 projects across 19 states.

Cammack’s Push to Crack Down on Prison Cellphones Gains Ground at FCC
Position: The release supports the FCC's proposed final rules allowing state and local correctional facilities to use targeted cellphone-jamming technology to stop contraband phones in prisons, and calls on Congress to make that authority permanent.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Communications and Technology, which oversees the FCC, today welcomed a major win in her push to shut down contraband cellphones in prisons. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Brendan Carr announced the agency will vote next month on final rules that, for the first time, would allow state and local correctional facilities to use targeted cellphone-jamming technology. The Order will be voted on at the FCC’s November 19 Open Meeting.
Rep. Cammack has worked the issue on multiple fronts. She met with Chairman Carr on the issue and met several times with Florida Department of Corrections leaders to work through the threat contraband phones pose inside the state’s prisons and find a resolution. Last year, she joined Congressman David Kustoff (TN-08) and other colleagues in a letter urging Chairman Carr to advance the rulemaking and give correctional institutions additional tools, warning that inmates have used these devices to orchestrate criminal activity from behind prison walls.
“Contraband cellphones turn prison cells into command centers. Inmates use them to order hits and run criminal enterprises from behind bars,” said Congresswoman Kat Cammack. “That threat lands especially close to home in our district, which has roughly 15 state prisons and correctional institutions, more than any other congressional district in America. Giving our correctional officers the ability to shut these phones off will save lives and cut the crime being run from the inside. We worked this issue directly with Chairman Carr and with Florida’s Department of Corrections leaders, and I’m grateful the Chairman is moving on it. Now Congress needs to finish the fight and make this authority permanent.”
"The criminal use of contraband cell phones is a growing crisis that demands immediate action to maintain public safety and keep our officers and institutions safe," said Florida Department of Corrections Secretary Richard Comerford. "Florida is thankful for the leadership of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, Representative Kat Cammack, Governor Ron DeSantis, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, and all of our correctional partners for recognizing this security threat and working to counteract this criminal enterprise."
Contraband cellphones remain a widespread problem in correctional facilities nationwide. A 2024 study found that prison authorities recovered more than 25,000 cellphones in a single year, with two participating facilities each recovering more than 6,000 devices. While the FCC has authorized other technologies to combat contraband phones, it has never before allowed jamming.
Under the proposed final order, jamming would be an option for state and local correctional facilities, and no facility would be required to use it. Facilities pursuing jamming must meet technical standards and pass testing to show the system does not cause harmful interference outside designated areas. Jamming would be limited to a Commission-authorized containment area where wireless device use is already prohibited. Wireless carriers, FirstNet, public safety coordinators, and 911 authorities would receive advance notice of on-site testing, and nearby communities would be notified before deployment.
The FCC will also seek public comment on additional measures to close loopholes that allow contraband cellphones to operate on other frequencies, strengthen protections for public safety communications, and explore potential “quiet zones” around correctional facilities.
The announcement follows congressional efforts to address the issue, including the Cellphone Jamming Reform Act, introduced by Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Congressman David Kustoff (R-TN), which would establish permanent statutory authority for correctional facilities to deploy cellphone-jamming technology.

Congresswoman Kat Cammack Secures Continued Housing for Homeless Veterans in Ocala and Gainesville
Position: The release announces that federal VA funding under the Contract Emergency Residential Services program has been secured for 36 beds at Ritz Veterans Village in Ocala and 18 beds in Gainesville, preventing a lapse in housing for homeless veterans. It describes the congressional office's role in securing the contract and states support for continued housing for homeless veterans.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) today announced that veterans experiencing homelessness in Ocala and Gainesville will keep their housing after she worked directly with the Department of Veterans Affairs to secure a new contract for Volunteers of America. Beginning October 1, the VA's Contract Emergency Residential Services (CERS) program will fund 36 beds at the Ritz Veterans Village in Ocala and 18 beds in Gainesville, part of 102 beds across North Florida. The facilities' previous VA funding was set to expire September 30.
When Volunteers of America contacted Congresswoman Cammack's office for help, she immediately called VA Secretary Doug Collins. Her district team then worked with VA leadership to confirm the new contract ahead of the October 1 transition.
"No veteran who wore this country's uniform should have to wonder where they'll sleep next month. The moment we heard these men were at risk, our team went to work, and we didn't let up until this was done," said Congresswoman Cammack. "They deserve a roof over their heads and a system that has their back. I'm grateful to the VA for working with us and to Volunteers of America for the work they do every day."
"The office of Congresswoman Kat Cammack was critical for the success of obtaining alternative new funding. Thanks to her strong advocacy and commitment to serve our homeless veterans, we are now able to offer our veterans a safe place to rest and heal," said Janet Stringfellow, President and CEO ofVolunteers of America of Florida.
“In Marion County, honoring our veterans means showing up for them when they need us most. Keeping Ritz Veterans Village open means a veteran has a safe place to sleep, people to lean on and a chance to move forward with dignity,” said Carl Zalak III, Chairman, Marion County Board of County Commissioners. “We’re deeply grateful to Volunteers of America, Congresswoman Kat Cammack and everyone who worked to keep that hope alive. Our veterans stood for us, and this community will continue standing for them.”
“I would like to personally thank Congresswoman Kat Cammack and her staff for taking the lead in helping secure funding for Volunteers of America,” said Jim Hilty, Ocala City Councilman. “The funding had been lost due to an administrative error. This was no small feat and as chairman of the local Vets Helping Vets we now have places to place some vulnerable Veterans. This not only restored funding in Ocala but Gainesville and Tallahassee as well.”
Veterans who need assistance can contact Congresswoman Cammack's office at 352-505-0838.

Congresswoman Kat Cammack Introduces Bipartisan TIME Act to Modernize International Movement of Competition Horses
Position: Introduces the TIME Act (H.R. 10611) directing USDA to create a risk-based, science-aligned framework for the temporary international movement of high-health, high-performance competition horses, with expedited entry and biosecurity safeguards.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) and Congressman Paul Tonko (NY-20) introduced H.R. 10611, the Temporary International Movement of Equines (TIME) Act of 2026. The bipartisan bill directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to modernize the rules governing the temporary entry of international competition horses and racehorses. It would establish a science-based framework aligned with internationally recognized standards while keeping strong safeguards in place for the domestic equine population.
"Marion County is the Horse Capital of the World, and the best horses on the planet should be able to come here and compete without getting tangled up in red tape,” said Congresswoman Cammack. "The TIME Act brings our rules in line with proven international standards and keeps strong protections in place for the horses already here. I'm proud to partner with Congressman Tonko on this bill and to keep working with the American Horse Council to get it across the finish line."
"Aligning with international safety standards benefits fans, athletes, economies, and the sport as a whole, which is what drove me to introduce the TIME Act," said Congressman Tonko. "This bill prioritizes equine health and safety while pushing venues like my district's own Saratoga Racetrack and its athletes further onto the international stage. I thank Congresswoman Cammack for joining me to champion this bill and urge my colleagues to join us in this effort."
As the United States prepares to host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles and a growing slate of international equestrian and racing events, current import requirements can create obstacles for horses traveling here temporarily to compete. Today's top equine athletes already travel under rigorous health, identification, and biosecurity protocols. Florida is a leading hub for global equestrian sport and Thoroughbred activity, and Marion County's thoroughbred breeding and training industry is a major economic driver for North Central Florida.
The TIME Act is based on the World Organization for Animal Health (WOAH) High Health, High Performance (HHP) framework for the temporary international movement of elite competition horses. The United States Animal Health Association (USAHA) has formally urged USDA to recognize HHP horses as a distinct subpopulation and to use the WOAH framework to implement the concept in the United States. The House Appropriations Committee also included report language in its FY2027 Agriculture Appropriations bill encouraging USDA to explore approaches consistent with the HHP framework.
Specifically, the TIME Act would:
Direct USDA to establish regulations governing the temporary international movement of high-health, high-performance horses.
Implement a risk-based system incorporating identification, traceability, and biosecurity measures.
Provide expedited entry procedures and modified quarantine protocols consistent with international best practices.
Improve the efficiency of USDA animal health oversight by reducing duplicative requirements and allowing agency personnel to focus resources on higher-risk disease concerns.
The TIME Act is supported by the American Horse Council, which represents more than 1.6 million horse owners across all 50 states, as well as the U.S. Equestrian Federation, the American Association of Equine Practitioners, The Jockey Club, and the Breeders' Cup.
"We applaud Representatives Tonko and Cammack for their bipartisan leadership in advancing the TIME Act. Their willingness to listen to the equine community and champion this issue marks an important step toward ensuring the United States remains a leading destination for international equine competition for years to come," said Julie Broadway, President of the American Horse Council.
"The Breeders' Cup World Championships are built on bringing together the best horses and their connections from around the globe, and efficient international movement is essential to making that possible. The world's elite horses are also among the most rigorously tested, health-certified, and examined equine athletes, with extensive veterinary oversight surrounding their international movement and participation. We support the TIME Act's effort to modernize the process for high-performance horses while maintaining rigorous protections for equine health and biosecurity. A science-based framework that reflects the realities of international competition will help strengthen the United States' position as a destination for world-class racing and other equestrian sports," said Drew Fleming, President and CEO of Breeders' Cup Limited.
"The US Equestrian Federation looks forward to working collaboratively with the USDA to improve policies for international movement of high-performance horses. In our capacity as a national governing body via the Ted Stevens Act, we recognize the complexities that come with temporary international travel overseas and similar challenges for competitors from other countries. The United States has become one of the largest international competition hosts in the world. Our goal is to keep all horse populations safe and healthy, and the proposed joint partnership between government and private resources is a big step in the right direction," said David O'Connor, Olympic medalist and US Equestrian Chief of Sport.
"Modernizing these requirements means a reduction in quarantine time and post-arrival restrictions for the temporary entry of competition and racehorses that are already among the healthiest and most closely monitored in the world. That's a win for equine welfare and for the health of horses," said Dr. Sarah Reuss, President of the American Association of Equine Practitioners.
"The TIME Act recognizes that modern identification, traceability, and biosecurity tools can support both horse welfare and international competition. By creating a framework for the temporary movement of high health, high performance horses, this legislation would reduce unnecessary barriers to international participation in U.S. racing while maintaining rigorous animal health safeguards. As the United States prepares to host some of the world's premier racing and equestrian events, a science-based approach to equine movement helps ensure our entire equine industry remains competitive on the global stage while protecting the health and welfare of horses," said Kristin Werner, Vice President of Thoroughbred Strategy & Industry Initiatives at The Jockey Club.

Congresswoman Kat Cammack Secures $50 Million in Water Infrastructure Authorizations and Horseshoe Beach Storm Protection Study in House-Passed WRDA
Position: The release describes the representative's support for federal water, wastewater, and coastal storm risk authorizations in the House-passed Water Resources Development Act of 2026 and states she will continue pushing for these provisions through the final bill.
Washington, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) secured $50 million in new and expanded federal water and wastewater infrastructure authorizations for Columbia, Suwannee, Marion, and Gilchrist Counties, along with a coastal storm risk study for Horseshoe Beach in Dixie County, in the Water Resources Development Act of 2026 (H.R. 9497), which passed the House of Representatives today by a vote of 415 to 9.
The House-passed bill:
Authorizes up to $39.3 million for water and wastewater infrastructure in Columbia and Suwannee Counties.
More than doubles Marion County's existing authorization, from $10 million to $20.5 million, providing an additional $10.5 million in authorized capacity.
Authorizes up to $200,000 for water and wastewater infrastructure, including stormwater management, in Gilchrist County.
Directs the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to study coastal storm risk management for the town of Horseshoe Beach, including shoreline damage prevention and mitigation.
“Our water and wastewater systems in North Central Florida carry the weight of decades of growth and back-to-back storms. Columbia, Suwannee, Marion, and Gilchrist Counties needed a federal partner. Securing these three priorities in the House-passed WRDA is an important step toward delivering the infrastructure these growing communities need,” said Congresswoman Kat Cammack. “Horseshoe Beach took a direct hit from Idalia and Helene, and this study is the first step toward advancing long-term coastal storm protection for the community. I fought to get these provisions in the bill, and I will keep pushing to get these priorities across the finish line.”
The infrastructure authorizations allow the Corps to partner with local governments on the design and construction of water supply, wastewater, and stormwater projects, with the federal government covering up to 75 percent of project costs. The Horseshoe Beach study is the required first step before a federal coastal protection project can be authorized for construction. Funding for the authorized projects would still need to be provided through the annual appropriations process.
WRDA 2026 also reauthorizes FEMA's High Hazard Potential Dam program, establishes a Corps office dedicated to technical assistance for rural communities, and reforms Corps project delivery to reduce delays and costs. Congress has enacted a WRDA every two years since 2014.
The bill now heads to the Senate, which advanced its own version through the Environment and Public Works Committee in July.

Congresswoman Kat Cammack Issues Statement on the Censure of Rep. Chuck Edwards
Position: Rep. Cammack states she voted to censure Rep. Chuck Edwards over a pattern of unprofessional and inappropriate conduct toward two congressional staffers, arguing that conduct being technically permitted is insufficient and that Members should be held to a standard of judgment. She states she will work with the Democratic Women's Caucus on measures to prevent staff misconduct.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03), Chair of the Republican Women's Caucus, released the following statement after the House voted 413-2 on Tuesday to censure Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-NC) following a bipartisan House Ethics Committee investigation into his conduct toward two staffers:
"Yesterday, I voted to censure Congressman Chuck Edwards.
I read the Ethics Committee's report, and I read his letter and his lawyers' response with the seriousness they deserve. He had every right to defend himself. It did not change my vote.
The Committee found a persistent pattern of unprofessional and inappropriate conduct toward two young women on his staff, and he did not deny much of the underlying conduct. In fact, defends it. He defends the gifts and the poetry, and he defends traveling with a young woman who had only just left his office. His argument is that none of it broke a rule, and that is precisely the problem.
I was a congressional staffer myself before becoming a Member. I understand the responsibility Members have to the people who work for us. Members of Congress hold enormous power over the people who work for us. 'Technically permitted' is a low bar. Judgment is the standard.
I co-founded the Republican Women's Caucus to raise the standard in this institution, and that starts with how we treat the people who serve alongside us. Two young women left his office, and the Committee said the House lost them because of his conduct.
Congress cannot ask the American people to trust this body if we refuse to hold ourselves accountable. Yesterday's vote was accountability after the fact. My work with Chairwoman Leger Fernández and the Democratic Women's Caucus is about making sure the next staffer never has to get that far. We will have more to share on that work soon."

Cammack Delivers: More Than $42 Million in Rural Health Investments for North Central Florida
Position: The release describes Rural Health Transformation Program funding for North Central Florida and states the representative's support for the legislation that created the program and her push to prioritize rural health care resources.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) today announced more than $42.2 million in Rural Health Transformation Program investments benefiting health care providers and communities across North Central Florida, following her work in Congress to help craft and advance the legislation that created the program.
As a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and its Health Subcommittee, Cammack helped shape the rural health provisions and shepherd them through the committee process as part of the Working Families Tax Cuts law. The resulting Rural Health Transformation Program secured $209 million for Florida in its first year alone, with funding now reaching rural hospitals, physicians, health systems, and communities across the state.
At least $13.4 million is directly tied to providers with locations in Florida’s Third Congressional District, while additional regional investments will strengthen health care infrastructure serving rural communities throughout North Central Florida.
CommunityHealth IT received more than $26.7 million across Florida’s Northeast and Northwest regions to strengthen health information technology systems supporting rural providers, including those serving FL-03.
“This is exactly why I fought to make rural health care a priority in this legislation. I helped craft these provisions and shepherd them through Energy and Commerce because North Central Florida needed more than another study or another promise — we needed resources,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “We secured more than $200 million for Florida, and now more than $42 million is being put to work benefiting the communities I represent. That means stronger hospitals, better technology, more access to specialists, and more care delivered closer to home. We fought for these dollars, we secured them, and now we’re bringing them home.”
Direct Investments in FL-03
Providers headquartered in Florida’s Third Congressional District receiving directly attributable awards include:
• Medlink Management Services (Lake Butler Hospital), Union County — $6,989,484.92 across two awards.
• North Florida Pediatrics Associates, Lake City, Columbia County — $5,999,924.26 across two awards.
• Trenton Medical Center (Palms Medical Group), Gilchrist County — $439,775.40.
Lake Butler Hospital’s larger award supports preventive and at-home care, including mobile health, community paramedicine, remote patient monitoring, on-site pharmacy services, and retail clinic care.
North Florida Pediatrics Associates’ larger Lake City award supports specialty and acute care through diagnostic technology and telehealth.
These investments directly address one of the most persistent challenges facing rural North Central Florida: distance. For seniors, working families, and patients managing chronic conditions, access to more services locally can mean fewer hours on the road and faster access to the care they need.
On Tuesday, Governor Ron DeSantis announced nearly $188 million in the latest round of Year 1 awards, supporting more than 80 projects across Florida’s 31 rural counties. The Northeast Region, which includes portions of FL-03 and surrounding North Central Florida communities, accounted for approximately $50.7 million of the awards.
“Washington doesn’t know Lake Butler, Lake City, or Trenton better than the people who live and work there. That’s why we built flexibility into this program and fought to get Florida the resources to put solutions on the ground,” Cammack added. “I helped secure more than $200 million for our state, and Governor DeSantis, Secretary Harris, and our local providers are turning that investment into care. This is what legislating is supposed to look like: identify the problem, build the solution, fight for the resources, and deliver results back home.”

Congresswoman Kat Cammack Secures Ten Amendments in House-Passed National Defense Authorization Act
Position: The release states the congresswoman secured ten adopted amendments to the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act, including provisions on fentanyl precursor interdiction, foreign malign influence, reliance on Chinese-sourced defense materials, and military medical supply chains, and frames the bill as delivering troop pay raises and accountability.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) today announced that ten of her amendments were adopted in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 (H.R. 8800), which passed the House by a vote of 216-214. The legislation authorizes a pay raise for every service member and now advances to the Senate.
"Our troops deserve a raise and our adversaries deserve a reason to think twice. This bill delivers on both," said Congresswoman Cammack. "I fought to make sure it delivers accountability too. We cannot just throw money at the Pentagon. My amendments force answers to hard questions about who is in our supply chains, whether we're ready for tomorrow's threats, and where American taxpayer dollars are going."
Together, Rep. Cammack's ten adopted amendments strengthen military readiness, reduce dependence on foreign adversaries, improve care for military families, accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies, and strengthen America's disaster response capabilities.
Congresswoman Cammack's Ten Adopted Amendments
Countering fentanyl and precursor chemicals. Requires the Department of War to expand coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to target fentanyl and precursor chemicals. Requires a report to Congress identifying gaps in detection, monitoring, and interdiction efforts.
Combating foreign malign influence. Requires the Department of War to develop a strategy for identifying, assessing, and countering foreign malign influence activities in the cognitive warfare domain, including disinformation, propaganda, psychological operations, and other influence activities conducted by foreign adversaries.
Reducing reliance on Chinese-sourced defense materials. Requires the Comptroller General to assess the Department of War's reliance on Chinese-sourced materials used in munitions, microelectronics, and energy storage systems and recommend alternative sourcing strategies.
Strengthening partnerships with research universities. Requires the Department of War to prioritize partnerships with institutions of higher education conducting research in hypersonics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence while expanding reporting to Congress on those partnerships.
Securing military medical supply chains. Requires the Secretary of War to assess vulnerabilities in military medical supply chains, including reliance on Chinese sources for active pharmaceutical ingredients and medical devices, and report the findings to Congress within 180 days.
Assessing threats from foreign-controlled digital platforms. Requires the Secretary of War to assess the risks posed by foreign adversary-controlled digital platforms to operational security, force protection, military personnel, and military installations, including threats related to data collection, cognitive warfare, foreign influence operations, and propaganda.
Accelerating artificial intelligence adoption. Requires the Department of War, in coordination with the Department of Commerce, to develop a strategy for adopting, fielding, integrating, and scaling artificial intelligence across the military and the defense industrial base.
Protecting military mothers during PCS moves. Requires the Department of War to establish procedures ensuring continuity of care for pregnant and postpartum service members and military spouses during permanent change of station moves, including timely transfers of medical records and assignment of receiving providers.
Auditing Chinese Communist Party exposure in defense contracting. Requires the Comptroller General to audit the participation of entities owned, controlled by, affiliated with, or influenced by the Chinese Communist Party in Department of War contracts and supply chains, identifying risks to military readiness and national security.
Strengthening National Guard disaster readiness. Requires the Department of War, in consultation with FEMA, to submit an annual report identifying National Guard equipment shortfalls in every state and assessing how those gaps affect disaster response capabilities, including hurricane response, while recommending equipment modernization and strategic prepositioning.
Taken together, these provisions position the Department of War to better compete in the era of cognitive warfare while strengthening America's military readiness at home and abroad.
"Our adversaries wage cognitive warfare against the United States every single day, from propaganda to influence operations carried out through platforms they control," Rep. Cammack continued. "My amendments require the Pentagon to build a real strategy to fight back. That is where this fight is going, and America will not show up unarmed."
Rep. Cammack also secured provisions to improve care for military families and strengthen disaster preparedness by ensuring continuity of care for pregnant and postpartum service members during permanent change of station moves and requiring annual assessments of National Guard equipment shortfalls that affect disaster response.
"When a hurricane hits North Central Florida, our Guard shows up," Rep. Cammack said. "My amendment makes Washington identify exactly what they need before the storm instead of after it."
The full amendment text is available through the House Rules Committee at rules.house.gov.

Congresswoman Kat Cammack Presides Over House Passage of Congressional Stock Trading Ban
Position: Supports the Stop Insider Trading Act (H.R. 7008), which would bar Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from buying individual publicly traded stocks while the Member serves, and which also includes photo ID requirements for voting in federal elections.
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The House of Representatives today passed H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, by a vote of 232-198, prohibiting Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing individual stocks issued by publicly traded companies. Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03), who presided over the House as Speaker Pro Tempore during final passage, voted in favor of the legislation and called the reform long overdue.
“Members of Congress should never be able to profit from the public’s trust. Period,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “For too long, Americans have been left wondering whether lawmakers are serving the country or their portfolios. That question should never have to be asked. Today’s vote was long overdue."
The Stop Insider Trading Act prohibits Members of Congress, their spouses, and dependent children from purchasing individual securities issued by publicly traded companies while the Member serves in office.
As Speaker Pro Tempore, Rep. Cammack presided over the House chamber during final passage, holding the gavel as lawmakers approved the congressional ethics measure.
“I do not own a single share of individual corporate stock,” Rep. Cammack continued. “I was proud to vote for this reform, and especially proud to hold the gavel when the House finally passed it. The American people deserve to know their elected officials are serving them, not their investment accounts.”
The legislation also includes election integrity provisions requiring voters to present photo identification when casting a ballot in a federal election. Absentee and mail-in voters would be required to include a copy of qualifying identification with their ballot. The language mirrors provisions of the SAVE America Act, which previously passed the House by a vote of 218-213.
Today’s vote builds on Rep. Cammack’s broader efforts to strengthen accountability and restore public trust in Congress. Earlier this week, she renewed her call for immediate consideration of H.Res. 500, her resolution requiring criminal background checks for House employees and public disclosure of foreign government payments, contracts, and citizenship.
“Restoring trust in Congress will take more than one vote,” Rep. Cammack concluded. “We must continue raising ethical standards, strengthening congressional security, and proving to the American people that public service is exactly that: service."
The measure now advances to the Senate.
The full text of H.R. 7008 is available here.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Kat Cammack (FL-03) today called on the House to immediately bring H.Res. 500 to the floor for a vote. The resolution would strengthen security standards for congressional staff by requiring criminal background checks and public disclosure of foreign government payments, contracts, and citizenship.
The renewed push comes as congressional staff security has drawn renewed public attention, underscoring the need for stronger vetting and transparency standards in the House of Representatives.
“Congressional staff handle Americans’ most sensitive personal information every day, from Social Security numbers on casework files to veterans’ records,” said Congresswoman Cammack. “Americans are shocked when they learn that those staffers face no required background check. Federal employees across the executive branch are vetted before they ever get a badge. Not here. That should concern every member of Congress, regardless of party.”
Introduced by Rep. Cammack earlier this Congress, H.Res. 500 would amend the Rules of the House of Representatives to:
Require background checks for House employees;
Require disclosure if a House employee has received payments from, or entered into contracts or agreements with, a foreign government during the three years before beginning House employment;
Require disclosure if a House employee is a citizen or national of a foreign country;
Require those disclosures to be filed with the Clerk of the House and made publicly available; and
Apply these disclosure requirements to both current House employees and new hires.
Rep. Cammack noted that despite introducing the resolution, efforts to move it forward have repeatedly stalled.
"I introduced H.Res. 500 more than a year ago to fix this,” Rep. Cammack continued. “First, I was told it needed 100 cosponsors before it could be considered. Then I was told background checks couldn’t be done. Then I was told that disclosures couldn’t be published. The excuses keep changing, while the security risk stays the same.”
Rep. Cammack also called on Americans to urge their Representatives to support the resolution.
“The solution is already written. Now the House needs to act. The American people have a right to know who is working on their behalf. Call your Representative and tell them to support H.Res. 500.”
