Washington, November 19, 2020 – Congressman Bill Posey (R-Rockledge) released the following statement regarding the U.S. Air Force’s announcement that Cape Canaveral, FL has advanced in the selection process for the location of U.S. Space Command Headquarters:

“I’m proud of our delegation’s efforts working together to make the case for Space Command Headquarters to locate in Brevard County, Florida. I’m pleased to see that we have advanced to the next round in the selection process. Brevard’s strategic location and quality of life make it the ideal place for this important national mission to be centered.

Advocates point out that Tennessee ranks among the top states where men kill women, calling domestic violence a true epidemic.Lawmakers behind the bill say that if this registry had existed earlier, it may have helped prevent Savanna’s death.What do you think — is this a step in the right direction? Should more states follow? ... See MoreSee Less
