WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL-03) issued the following statement on the loss of servicemembers and the catastrophe unfolding in Afghanistan.
Since the Afghan War began two decades ago, four presidential administrations have worked to bring our troops back home. For years, I've supported a strong, strategic withdrawal plan to end America's longest war, but what we are witnessing is anything but.
In fact, it's clear that any "plans" or "contingencies" never existed. Surely if they had, we wouldn’t be watching American citizens beaten by the Taliban as they attempt to make their way to the airport in Kabul.

They cut off questions from Members leaving us with few or no answers.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Kat Cammack (R-FL-03), with Congressman Dan Kildee (D-MI-05), introduced a new resolution to zero out the foreign subsidies that make sugar the world's most distorted commodity market.
Last week, we traveled with other law enforcement officials to McAllen and Mission, Texas to see the crisis unfolding at our southern border firsthand. Prior to this trip, we had seen it largely only on television and in the news, but witnessing the humanitarian, public health, and safety crises for ourselves gave us new perspective and insight into how to best protect and serve our communities in Putnam County.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Cammack applauded the unanimous passage of H.R. 267, the Wildfire and Hurricane Indemnity Program Plus (WHIP+) Reauthorization Act.

The committee also incorporated changes to the bill's language to ensure all Florida and Louisiana cane farmers are covered by the program.
