Gus Bilirakis, a U.S. Congressman representing Florida's 12th district since 2007, shared several updates on December 10, 2024, via social media. These posts reflect his political engagements and concerns.

On December 10, Bilirakis congratulated his colleague Brett Guthrie on being appointed as the new Chairman of the House Commerce Committee. He expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with Guthrie to further their "America First agenda." "Congratulations to my friend and colleague, @RepGuthrie on being named the new Chairman of @HouseCommerce. l look forward to working alongside him to advance our America First agenda."

Later that day, Bilirakis addressed national security issues related to border control. He criticized what he termed as "The Biden Border Crisis," emphasizing its threat to national security. He highlighted that the Fiscal Year 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would be voted on soon and includes measures such as deploying the National Guard to the southern border. "The Biden Border Crisis has jeopardized our national security for far too long. The FY25 NDAA, which we will vote on this week, addresses this problem by supporting the deployment of National Guard to the southern border to combat the influx of illegal immigrants and drugs."

In another post from December 10, Bilirakis informed constituents about FEMA Mitigation specialists available at a Home Depot in Spring Hill from December 9 through December 14. These specialists provide free advice on rebuilding methods that can mitigate future disaster damage. "FEMA Mitigation specialists are at the Home Depot in Spring Hill Monday, Dec. 9 through Dec. 14.
