Clawson to hold district meeting on Sept. 15 in Lehigh
U.S. Rep. Curt Clawson
U.S. Rep. Curt Clawson, R- District 19, says he will be at different locations in Lee County to meet with his constituents over the next week or so.
Clawson says he plans to be in Lehigh Acres on Tuesday, Sept. 15, and will meet with his constituents from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the East County Regional Library, at 881 Gunnery Road.
“I will be at various locations throughout our district to meet and speak with you regarding legislation in Washington, D.C., and to hear your comments and concerns,” Clawson said in a statement.
Clawson represents about half the residents in Lehigh Acres. The other half is represented by U.S. Rep. Tom Mooney.
In his statement, Clawson said he wanted to update them on the latest developments in the nation’s capital and the district that he represents.
He offered his opposition to the administration’s proposed nuclear deal with Iran.
“With mounting concern on the details, and the existence of secret side deals that we in Congress cannot see, it is in the interest of the American people for Congress to reject the administration’s agreement,” he said.
“Congress must insist that we do not give legitimacy and the keys to nuclear weapons to the world’s largest state-sponsor of terrorism. If Congress can block the deal, we would then advise either the current or next administration to renegotiate a new agreement that prevents Iran from ever threatening nuclear disaster,” Clawson continued.
He said the nation cannot trust the Iranian leadership that has repeatedly called for the annihilation of Israel and encouraged public chants of “Death to America.”
“We must not allow Iran to emerge as a prosperous and militarily strengthened nuclear threshold state in just 15 years,” he said.
He offered alternatives by saying the nation should use the economic leverage it has with those who might do business with Iran, and thus with the regime itself, to reinvigorate trade restrictions, financial constraints, weapons embargoes and sanctions.
He also spoke on immigration and noted the recent triple homicides in Lehigh Acres, allegedly committed by a teen illegal immigrant from Belize.
“First and foremost, let’s keep the victims of that heinous crime in our thoughts and prayers. And let’s commend and give thanks to the first responders and Sheriff Mike Scott’s team for their thorough wok to protect the public from further harm.
“It was our porous border and failure to rigorously enforce existing laws that led to recent tragic events in Southwest Florida and elsewhere across American,” Clawson said.
In other matters, Clawson said he had introduced a bill to combat invasive lionfish off Florida’s coasts.
“I have introduced a bill to add lionfish to the list of injurious species that are prohibited from being imported or shipped to our country. This legislation would provide much needed protection to native species of fish from being further diminished by the release of lionfish into our waters.
“Lionfish are invasive species in the Western Atlantic, Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. They feed on smaller reef-dwelling fish, resulting in a significant reduction of native fish populations. The recreational collection of lionfish in Florida has significantly contributed to the reduction of our native fish population,” he said.
Clawson said the public can stay in touch with him on social media.
“You can connect with me for timely updates on my Facebook page, Twitter and youTube channel. Don’t forget to check my website for any constituent service you may need,” he said.
