Byron Donalds, a U.S. Congressman representing Florida's 19th district since 2021, has recently shared updates on his legislative accomplishments and concerns via social media. Donalds, who succeeded Francis Rooney and previously served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2016 to 2020, highlighted significant progress in environmental restoration projects and expressed criticism towards the FBI under Christopher Wray's leadership.

On December 11, 2024, Congressman Byron Donalds announced several expedited projects as part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Program. He emphasized the "Expedited completion of Western Everglades Restoration Project," "Expedited completion of Lake Okeechobee Watershed Restoration," and "Expedited completion of Picayune Strand Restoration Project in Collier County."

In another post on the same day, Donalds focused on nature-based solutions for water management efforts. He noted the inclusion of language to study these solutions used by @USACEHQ and encouraged better utilization of “After Action Reports” to optimize taxpayer-funded water-related initiatives.

Later that evening, Donalds expressed his concerns about what he perceives as a politicized Federal Bureau of Investigation under Director Christopher Wray. He accused the agency of targeting various groups and skewing crime statistics. He concluded with a call for restoring law for all Americans by stating that "the Wray FBI is ENDING." "The Wray FBI targeted concerned parents."
