TPA’s air traffic control tower needs to be replaced, and I’ve been a longtime champion to secure federal investment for it. This week, a contractor has been CONFIRMED, and construction is set to begin in February 2027! It’s been a long time coming! ✈️🎉👏🏼

The reckless war in Iran has sent costs soaring, and those responsible know it’s unpopular.

Congress has voted three times to put an end to the war. It’s time to restore checks and balances and stop funneling American tax dollars and resources to another forever war in the Middle East.

Since the start of 2025, Tampa Bay families have paid:

🏡 $939 more for housing costs.
🛒 $310 more for groceries.
⛽️ $655 more for gas.
🔌 $227 more for electricity.

Your costs continue to rise, and corrupt politicians keep cashing in. Florida politicians illegally diverted $10M in taxpayer dollars meant for our neighbors' health care to political activities through Hope FL, and now they’re spending precious time and resources trying to kill the story.

Since last year, 16,000 of my neighbors have lost their health coverage to fund massive tax breaks for billionaires.

Your electric bills keep climbing while the regulators paid to protect your pocketbook enjoy $$$$ retreats funded by utility companies. Utility insiders get VIP access. You get stuck with higher bills.

This corruption will keep costing you until we hold regulators & utility companies accountable.

Lung cancer takes the lives of too many Floridians every year. I'm leading a bipartisan bill to remove red tape and expand access to low-dose CT screening for our at-risk neighbors.

The reckless war in Iran has been actively raising costs for almost 8 months. From the gas pump to the grocery store, families are feeling the squeeze.

Congress has voted three times to rein in the conflict, and service members are still being sent into harms way. It’s time to end this war.

Hillsborough neighbors, protect yourself and your family from mosquitoes carrying dengue fever. 🦟 The county has extended its local state of emergency through Oct. 8.

Life already costs too much. You shouldn’t worry that corruption, fraud, and corporate wrongdoing will make it worse.

The FTC is key to keeping corporations accountable—that’s why I introduced the 21st Century FTC and FTC Autonomy Acts with @Schakowsky.house.gov.

Castor, Schakowsky Introduce Legislation to Modernize FTC and Strengthen Consumer Protections WASHINGTON – As new technologies, business practices, and online marketplaces create new ways for companies to take advantage of consumers, U.S. Representatives Kathy Castor (FL-14) and Jan Schakowsky (IL-09) are...

There can be a lot of pressure on high school and college athletes. How do they focus on sports and academics while maintaining physical and mental health? Also, U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor joins the show to talk about housing costs and mortgage rates. Then, do short-term rentals need more regulations? And a local time...

Families need affordable health coverage, not more economic pain caused by ripping health care away.

I led a resolution to ensure that a predatory rule change to kick 2 million Americans off their health care and send costs soaring does not go into effect.

Floridians are losing health coverage faster than anyone else in the country thanks to extreme politicians letting ACA tax credits expire. They’ve created a cost-of-living crisis and put health care out of reach for millions.

Tomorrow, women of Congress from both parties take the field for the 18th annual Congressional Women’s Softball Game! 🥎

This year, I’m proud to be playing for my neighbor Nelcy Baltz. She’s a breast cancer survivor and a small business owner who started her own breast cancer nonprofit. 💕💪🏼 #CWSG2026

The House PASSED Rep. Castor's bipartisan Ratepayer Protection Act 417-3! The bill will protect consumers from data centers' energy usage and upgrade costs from being tacked onto their electric bills. READ MORE: castor.house.gov/news/documentsingle....

I’m proud to have secured millions of federal dollars in storm recovery for my neighbors. The $709 million fund is currently accepting applications for Hillsborough County residents, supporting long-term investment in recovery and resilience for neighbors affected by hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Extreme politicians are ending the Medicare Part D Premium Stabilization initiative early, raising prescription prices for seniors. Life is already expensive enough, and seniors shouldn’t have to choose between their life-saving medications and their groceries.
