I am grateful for this extraordinary opportunity. I work with amazing men and women who exemplify the best of public service and I appreciate all they have done to improve the safety of our facilities as well as transit systems, highways and air and seaports. The amount of work completed after Hurricane Ian, especially the speed of the temporary repairs to the Sanibel Island Causeway and Pine Island Bridge, which were decimated, was nothing short of miraculous. District One leads the way in innovation with new construction projects, especially those under Governor Ron DeSantis\u2019 \u2018Moving Florida Forward\u2019 initiative. This would not be possible without lawmakers\u2019 vision and support. You are the catalyst that drives our ingenuity. Your backing assures the beginning and completion of transportation projects that will forever change the trajectory of highway safety for the better in the state of Florida. Thank you for your legislative actions and I look forward to initiating new and exciting projects that will keep our motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians safe.<br><br>\nSincerely,<br>\nL.K.
