## Summary

Florida Republican congressman-elect Ryan Elijah says he plans to focus on fraud, consumer protection and inflation when he takes office in January. His comments come amid scrutiny of fraud in federal programmes and follow his victory over incumbent Cory Mills in the Republican primary.

Elijah called for bipartisan work to reduce costs and restore public trust, and said members of Congress should not trade stocks while serving on committees. He hopes to join the House Energy and Commerce or Financial Services committees, and is also interested in Transportation and Infrastructure to address growth and infrastructure needs in his district. Republicans, he said, should stay united in a divided Congress.
