Rep. Neal Dunn Advocates for Right-to-Repair Legislation Amid Health Battle

Rep. Neal Dunn, a Republican congressman from Florida, is championing the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair Act as his final legislative effort before retiring due to terminal heart disease.

Dunn, who has a background in medicine, previously fought a similar battle in the medical device industry.

Florida's 'Live Local Act' Sparks Election Year Controversy

The law has led to lawsuits and is a key topic in county commission races, with candidates from both parties debating its impact on local governance and housing affordability.
