The Webster WireListening to FloridiansDear Friends: In the district, I enjoyed spending time visiting with constituent veterans, farmers, community leaders, and families last week. In Leesburg, I had the honor of visiting and speaking to the Pennbrooke Fairways Veterans Club. I shared a congressional update on various issues affecting our dedicated Veterans. I am committed to America’s Veterans, as I have continuously pushed the Biden-Harris administration to answer to the veterans and taxpayers they serve. I am committed to ensuring that those who have already sacrificed so much for this country receive the benefits they were promised when they entered our nation’s service. We owe them a debt we can never repay.
On Thursday, I spoke at the Leesburg Chamber Breakfast to share the services my office can provide to constituents with issues involving a federal agency. I can often intervene on a constituents behalf to answer questions, find solutions, or simply attempt to cut through the red tape. If you are a constituent in Congressional District 11 in need of assistance with a federal agency, call 352-241-9220 or visit my website .
In Orlando, I joined the Florida Family Voice for Life and had the opportunity to speak about the importance of protecting life. Life is our most precious gift, and one of the three unalienable rights promised to all individuals in the Declaration of Independence. I believe these rights extend to aborted and unborn children as well, and that the right to life is our first God-given right. I encourage you to fight for life, and I will continue to do the same in Congress.
Every individual should be afforded the opportunity to pursue their fullest potential through education. I toured Universal Technical Institute’s Orlando Campus and saw firsthand the many degree and certificate programs they have to offer in automotive, motorcycle, diesel, marine, and HVAC technologies. Thank you, Universal Technical Institute, on preparing today’s students to be ready for a high-tech workforce that requires high-skills.
It was great to be with members of the Sumter County Farm Bureau, and tour their farm and agriculture operations. In Lake Panasoffkee, I joined Scott Stephens, Owner of Ventura Ranch. Ventura Ranch is the largest ranch in Sumter County, and has been a family owned cattle and timber ranch since the 1950s. Ventura ranch also offers a variety of clean fill dirt, clay, topsoil, hay.
In Bushnell, I joined Reba Mazak, Owner of Mazak Ranch. Reba, and her family have been committed to the cattle industry in the state of Florida for over 70 years! Agriculture is one of the three pillars of Florida’s economy and farmers and ranchers all over the country grow and raise the food that ends up on our kitchen tables. Protecting family farms is vital to ensuring the sustainability of the industry and, as your U.S. Representative, I will work to ensure that the best decisions are made as it relates to farmers and ranchers.
Your servant,
Daniel Webster |

Constituent CornerA veteran from Sumter County was concerned that his appeal was listed as “withdrawn” online and contacted our office for help. Our office alerted the Board of Veterans Appeals on his behalf requesting clarification and were assured the appeals had not been withdrawn. Once the appeals had been reviewed by a Veterans Law Judge, a favorable decision was reached, generating a retro payment of just over $90,000. Constituent services is a critical element of our congressional office. The federal government is a massive operation, and my office is available if you ever need assistance in navigating the bureaucracy or cutting through red tape. We are here to serve you. SurveyA federal appeals court in Virginia recently ruled that the State cannot implement a program to automatically remove non-citizens from voter rolls. This decision comes after House Democrats voted against legislation that would ensure only U.S. citizens can register to vote in federal elections. Do you support legislation that protects the integrity of U.S. elections? Results of last week’s survey which asked…”Do you think the Biden-Harris Administration’s soft on crime and open border policies are responsible for this increase in crime?”
