Congressman Scott Franklin, representing Florida’s 18th district, has been actively engaging with his constituents and sharing his thoughts on various issues through social media. Franklin, who succeeded Ross Spano in 2021, continues to express his dedication to the community and national matters.

On February 8, 2025, Congressman Franklin celebrated a milestone for Polk County. He stated: "Happy 165th Birthday to Imperial Polk County! I'm honored to represent the vibrant and hardworking community that makes Polk a wonderful place to live and work. Here's to many more years of success and growth!"

In a tweet dated February 10, 2025, Franklin shared details of a meeting with an educational leader: "It was a pleasure to meet with Southeastern University’s President, Dr. Kent Ingle, last week! We discussed the future of higher education and innovative ways to keep the cost of college affordable for families and students."

Later that day, Congressman Franklin expressed concerns over federal spending decisions in another tweet: "Wow. @DOGE uncovered that, just last week, FEMA spent $59M housing illegal aliens in NYC. FEMA funds are meant for natural disasters like hurricanes and wildfires. Not the UNNATURAL disasters created by the Biden Admin. Let the Big DOGE Eat!"
