Background

Former Florida emergency management director and U.S. Representative for Florida's 23rd district since 2023. He was the leading Democrat in the bipartisan group with Reps. Burchett and Luna that pushed House Oversight to hold the 26 July 2023 UAP hearing, and he has stayed with the issue since, co-signing the 2023 letters to Speaker McCarthy and the IC Inspector General, appearing at the June 2026 Capitol steps press conference with David Grusch, and cosponsoring the UAP Disclosure Act amendment the House adopted in July 2026. After Florida's 2026 redistricting he is running in the new 25th district, winning the 18 August Democratic primary with 63.5% (Wikipedia).

The American people deserve to know...The idea that there's 170 UAP incidents that we can't describe. I don't actually think that's true. I think we can describe them. I just think we're unwilling to". Also: "I think we [Congress] should try to get into one of these places [housing UAP evidence]...and if they won't let us in I think we should have a field hearing right outside the building...and the military will have to explain why that is."
