Tampa Republic

U.S. Representative Kathy Castor, who has served Florida's 14th district since 2007, recently shared her views on government efficiency and environmental policy through a series of tweets. Born in Miami and currently residing in Tampa, Castor has been a vocal advocate for her constituents.

On March 13, 2025, Castor commented on the approach to making government more efficient by referencing hurricane hunter engineer Josh Ripp. She stated, "There is a right way & a wrong way to make government more efficient. Elon Musk’s haphazard & uninformed slash & burn approach inflicts unnecessary financial pain on valued public servants & those who rely on them."

Later that day, she criticized former President Trump's policies regarding environmental protections. In her tweet from March 13, 2025, she expressed concern over pollution and its impact on communities like Tampa Bay: "Trump is once again putting polluters over people—attacking clean air & water protections that keep our families safe. Coastal communities like Tampa Bay will bear the brunt of his reckless agenda, facing more pollution, stronger storms & rising health risks. We will fight back.…"

On March 14, 2025, Castor reminded her followers about an upcoming town hall meeting aimed at providing assistance with claims through FEMA and SBA representatives. She advised attendees to bring necessary documents: "Don’t forget to RSVP for Tuesday’s town hall! FEMA and SBA representatives will be on hand to help with individual claims. If you need assistance, be sure to bring all relevant documents with you."
