Summary
Ryan Elijah said he will head to Washington focused on fraud, consumer protection and inflation, arguing voters in the midterms demanded change and relief from rising costs.
The Florida Republican said those issues could draw bipartisan support, framing them as practical ways to protect taxpayers, restore accountability and make life easier for constituents.
Elijah also backed banning members of Congress from trading stocks while serving on committees, saying lawmakers should not use public office to enrich themselves.
On committee assignments, he said he is seeking Energy and Commerce or Financial Services to pursue consumer and financial oversight, while also eyeing Transportation and Infrastructure to steer projects to his growing district.
His agenda comes as Republicans adjust to losing control of Congress after the midterms, with Elijah urging the party to stay united in a divided Washington before he is sworn in this January.
