Constituents in Representative Cory Mills' (R-FL) Congressional District have just over 40 million reasons to smile now, as the Florida Congressman recently reported investing $40 million in taxpayer dollars back into District 7.

Rep. Mills' press release detailed how a hefty $24.6 million went into Social Security throughout the area. Another $7.8 million went into Veterans Affairs, while $1.6 million went into small businesses.

$2.9 million went into personnel management, and $1 million went into the treasury and Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Lastly, $212,000 has been allocated to FEMA in the area, while $98,000 is going toward homeland security.

Aside from the significant financial investment, Rep. Mills' office has been a beacon of support, assisting constituents in nearly 3,000 cases and issuing numerous responses. This demonstrates his commitment to ensuring that every voice is heard and every issue is addressed.

"My team and I have secured more than $40 million from federal agencies on behalf of my constituents. Our mission is to make sure that your government serves your needs. If you require assistance with the State Department, Treasury Department, Federal Emergency Management Agency, or any other federal agency, our team is here to assist you in finding solutions," Mills said in a brief statement.

In mid-August, Representative Maxwell Frost (D-FL) of District 10 celebrated a significant milestone. Since taking office, he has resolved over 3,000 cases and issued over 100,000 responses. In addition to this, he has secured millions in funds for the Orlando area. These funds range from $12 million for building projects to $3 million returned to constituents, and even the establishment of a second Florida passport office in the area.

"From securing a passport office in Orlando, delivering nearly $12 million in Community Project Funding, returning $3 million dollars, assisting over 3,000 constituents, and responding to over 100,000 constituents, we're delivering tangible results for Central Florida," said Rep. Frost, adding a jab at the Republican majority in the House by saying, "Under House Republican leadership, this has been one of the most unproductive sessions of Congress in history — but my office hasn't let any dysfunction stop us from getting work done. Our office is here to help everyday people cut through government red tape and build a better Central Florida that works for everybody."
