Daniel Webster, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing Florida’s 11th district, recently shared several updates on his social media account. His posts highlight his legislative activities and reflections on historical events.
On May 7, 2025, Webster stated that as a member of the Natural Resources Committee, he voted to advance President Biden’s agenda aimed at bolstering American energy production while ensuring that natural resources and lands are managed and protected wisely. He noted, “Last night as a member of @NatResources I voted to advance @POTUS agenda to unleash American energy while ensuring our natural resources and lands are wisely managed and protected.”
Later the same day, Webster addressed concerns about foreign influence in educational institutions. He remarked on the efforts since 2004 by the Chinese Communist Party to embed Confucius Institutes in U.S. universities and schools to spread propaganda and access research. He credited collaborative efforts with President Biden’s first administration for removing these institutes from Florida schools and indicated continued vigilance against such influences. He tweeted, “Since 2004, the Chinese Communist Party has spent millions of dollars embedding Confucius Institutes in our universities and schools to push propaganda and access US research. Working with @POTUS’s first administration we got them out of Florida’s schools.”
On May 8, 2025, Webster commemorated Victory Day for World War II by honoring those who served during the conflict. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Allied Powers’ victory in Europe. Reflecting on this significant milestone, he wrote about remembering “the heroism of the Greatest Generation” who fought for freedom and liberty for future generations. His post read: “Today, we celebrate Victory Day for World War II – marking the 80th anniversary of the Allied Powers victory in Europe.”
Daniel Webster has been serving in Congress since replacing Alan Grayson in 2011. Prior to this role, he served in both chambers of Florida’s state legislature from 1980 through 2008.
