Hot Springs, VA — July 2025
President Hulya Erol Garvett of TC-USA PAC was honored to reconnect with Congressman Mike Haridopolos, who now proudly represents Florida’s 8th Congressional District, during the recent NRCC event in Hot Springs, Virginia. Congressman Haridopolos warmly welcomed continued dialogue and future meetings, reinforcing his commitment to open communication and principled leadership.
A Proven Record of Conservative Leadership
Congressman Haridopolos is no stranger to public service. Before his election to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2024, he served with distinction as President of the Florida Senate from 2010 to 2012 — earning a reputation as a dedicated fiscal conservative and a voice for smaller, more efficient government. He consistently championed balanced budgets, tax cuts, and policies to promote private-sector job growth, priorities he has brought with him to Washington, D.C.
Key Committees and Legislative Priorities
In Congress, Haridopolos serves on the influential House Committee on Financial Services, where he is actively engaged in safeguarding America’s financial stability while advancing innovation in digital assets, AI, and capital markets. He is particularly interested in protecting everyday investors and ensuring that the United States remains competitive in an increasingly digital financial world.
He also sits on the House Science, Space & Technology Committee, where he chairs the Space & Aeronautics Subcommittee. In this role, Congressman Haridopolos is a vocal advocate for maintaining America’s leadership in space exploration and aerospace innovation — a mission especially vital to Florida’s Space Coast, which he represents. He believes a strong space program fuels economic growth, inspires technological breakthroughs, and strengthens national security.
A Reliable Voice for America’s Core Values
Congressman Haridopolos is known for his clear, common-sense positions:
* Fiscal responsibility — committed to reducing the national debt and cutting unnecessary spending.
* Economic growth — supportive of policies that remove burdensome regulations and empower entrepreneurs.
* National security — strong on defense and unwavering in his belief that America must stand firm against terrorism and foreign threats.
* Innovation — dedicated to policies that keep America at the forefront of technological and scientific progress.
His voting record so far reflects these priorities: He has supported measures to rein in government overreach, protect taxpayers, boost support for research and development in space and aeronautics, and modernize the financial system while ensuring robust oversight.
Congressman Haridopolos’s ongoing work to promote economic freedom, technological leadership, and trusted alliances aligns well with TC-USA PAC’s vision of strengthening ties between the United States and Türkiye, while defending shared democratic values.
