  • "As a small business owner, I know firsthand how unnecessary government regulation can harm job creators across Florida and the country. That’s why I will be working every day to create jobs and support our small businesses, so every hardworking American has the opportunity to succeed. Key to this will be dialing back government overregulation and reforming our tax system so American workers can better compete in a global economy. It’s time to put the brakes on government borrowing and overspending, because the tax and spend policies of Washington are hurting families across the country. We have already passed the REINS Act, critical legislation that requires Congressional approval for major new regulations. " (dunn.house.gov)
  • "This week, @WMBBTV gave me the opportunity to explain why stimulus checks aren't the fix we need to boost the economy. The American people need help, but the best way to boost this economy is to get people safely back to work." (x.com)

(www.nealdunn.com)
  • "Inflation has skyrocketed because of reckless overspending by Biden and Democrats in Washington. The cost of essential items like groceries, gas, rent, mortgages, and health care are far too high. It's nearly impossible for middle-class Americans to buy their first home or take out a small business loan. This is unacceptable, and it's why I have opposed Biden's ongoing spending spree. I will continue fighting against Democratic efforts to put trillions of dollars in unpaid bills on the backs of you and future generations." (www.nealdunn.com)

I believe that every law-abiding American has the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. The first bill I cosponsored in Congress is legislation to ensure your Florida concealed carry permit is honored in every other state that issues concealed carry permits. Your Second Amendment rights don’t end when you cross state borders." (dunn.house.gov)
  • "Legally buying and owning a firearm is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Instead of strengthening and enforcing existing laws, Speaker Pelosi's Democrats are instead seeking to make criminals out of law-abiding gun owners." (justfacts.votesmart.org)

  • Rated 85% by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (justfacts.votesmart.org)
  • "Congress allocates money to CBP to secure our border and protect American lives, not to provide housing for illegal immigrants. The Biden administration has used every dirty trick in the book to keep our border open and encourage more illegal immigration. We must close this crucial loophole to prevent the Administration from using this money to provide more taxpayer-funded services for illegal immigrants. I’d like to thank Congresswoman Malliotakis for joining me in introducing this amendment, and I look forward to it being included in the full bill." (dunn.house.gov)
