From public safety to healthcare, education to community service, these are the people who make South Florida an outstanding place to work and live.

We’re proud to celebrate them this Hispanic Heritage Month and every other month.

South Florida’s rich Hispanic culture is a central piece of who we are, and that wouldn’t be possible without the leaders who shape it. During this Hispanic Heritage Month, I want to take a moment to recognize just a few of the incredible Hispanic leaders in our community:

I filed this resolution today to change the House Rules:

Congress should not be able to leave on a paid vacation when government is closed and federal workers and servicemembers are working without a paycheck.

Week two of the shutdown and the House still hasn’t shown up for work. Federal workers and service members are working without pay, yet Congress gets paid for inaction.

So I’m proposing a House Rules change: stay in session until the shutdown ends. No paid vacation.

I was grateful to sit down with workers from @afscme.bsky.social to hear how recent decisions out of Washington are threatening the programs they rely on.

Our government should work for working families — and that means taking real, concrete steps to protect their lifesaving health care.

Florida’s workers don’t get paid for not doing their jobs, so why should members of Congress?

If the government isn’t open, members shouldn’t be paid. As long as the government is shutdown I will be foregoing my paycheck. Let’s find a bipartisan solution and reopen for the American people.

Democrats are at the table to keep the government open and protect lower health care premiums. House Republicans are refusing to do both.

Families can't afford higher costs or a government shutdown.

September 11, 2001 was one of the darkest days in our nation’s history. We can #NeverForget what happened that day, the lives we lost, the bravery of law enforcement and first responders, and the sacrifice of the men and women who put their lives on the line to defend our nation.

For more than 75 years, the NATO alliance has been a cornerstone of global security. It's critical it stay that way and we stand with our allies.

As a member of @houseforeign.bsky.social, I'll continue to stand with Poland, defend NATO, and deter Putin's ongoing, unprovoked aggression.

In their ongoing campaign of distraction, my colleagues across the aisle found a new target: January 6. We won't let their efforts rewrite that dark day.

I look forward to serving on this Judiciary subcommittee that can only be described as a giant waste of time and taxpayer money.

One of the first bills I led in Congress was the FEMA Independence Act, a landmark bill to remove FEMA from DHS and restore it as an independent, Cabinet-level agency reporting directly to the President.

This week, it passed @transportdems.bsky.social as part of the bipartisan FEMA Act of 2025.

House Judiciary Republicans have held no hearings about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein files, and today, they’re again leaving DC without getting answers.

They don’t have any questions about it?

Vaccines work. They save lives.

This decision risks wiping away decades-long progress for public health in Florida, and it threatens the wellbeing of kids, seniors, and people with preexisting conditions across our state. It will not make Florida more healthy.
