Q: What skills do you possess that will make you effective in the U.S. Senate?
A: I’ll never stop fighting for the issues important to Floridians because they’re personal to me. The people that Rick Scott has hurt with his extremist policies are my friends, my family, and my community. I’m running to expand opportunities, protect your hard-earned benefits, and champion Floridians’ freedoms. I will deliver on these promises because I’ve always put politics aside to bring bipartisan coalitions together for investment and positive change in my community – from leading the FIU Medical School to securing better access to health care and millions of dollars for Everglades restoration while in Congress.
