Rick Scott Introduces American Shores Protection Act to Keep Drilling Off Florida\u2019s Coasts", "2025-11-03", "2025", "2025-11", "Republican", "Senate", "FL", "Rick Scott", "S001217", "www.rickscott.senate.gov", "rickscott", "https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/press-releases/", "page_html", "WASHINGTON, D.C. \u2013 Today, Senator Rick Scott announced the reintroduction of the American Shores Protection Act to codify President Trump\u2019s moratorium on drilling off Florida\u2019s Gulf of America and Atlantic Coasts. Senator Scott has worked with President Trump for years, both as governor and senator, to keep oil drilling off Florida\u2019s pristine coasts which contribute to the state\u2019s economy and serve as a critical military training space with the Gulf Test and Training Range.\n\nSenator Rick Scott said, \u201cAs Floridians, we know how vital our beautiful beaches and coastal waters are to our state\u2019s economy, environment, and way of life. It\u2019s why I have fought for years to keep drilling off Florida\u2019s coasts and worked closely with President Trump during his first term to ensure they remain protected with the president\u2019s moratorium, which bans oil drilling through 2032. I am proud to put these efforts into law with the American Shores Protection Act. I will always work to keep Florida\u2019s shores pristine and protect our natural treasures for generations to come.\u201d\n\nSenator Ashley Moody said, \u201cAs a fifth-generation Floridian, preserving our state\u2019s natural beauty is deeply important to me and the millions of those who call the Sunshine State home\u2014as well as those who come to visit and vacation. It is my mission to protect our state\u2019s coastline for the next generation. Florida has made significant efforts to conserve its incredible natural resources, and I will continue this fight at the federal level. I appreciate my colleagues\u2019 support as we work together to ensure oil drilling stays off our beaches and pass the American Shores Protection Act.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-03-30T11:08:25Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.rickscott.senate.gov/2025/11/sen-rick-scott-introduces-american-shores-protection-act-to-keep-drilling-off-florida-s-coasts"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.2972349543124437, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
