“People are frustrated here in Florida and around the country. We already lived through four years of Donald Trump and unfortunately here in Florida, you’re still living through Ron DeSantis…We are not giving up on Florida and we know with the economy and investments, it’s going to go our way.”

“We are honored to welcome the Second Gentleman, Douglas Emhoff to our first event in the brand new Miami-Dade Democratic Hispanic Caucus office, just got the keys last week. No other county gets more national attention than Miami-Dade because we know that the path to the White House, U.S. Senate, City Hall or School Board — all of it runs through Florida.”
