Here in #SoFla we’ve helped grow the economy & create jobs, while balancing a budget of $8.9 billion every year without tax increases. We’ve done it by working across the aisle to do what’s best for our community. That’s what I’ve done as Mayor, & that’s what I’ll do in Congress. https://t.co/dpySXTEu2H

Yesterday Lourdes and I went out on the Florida Bay with Captain Benny Blanco to learn more about the issues impacting our waters and the importance of clean water. We are lucky to have such treasures and we must prioritize protecting them. #FL26 pic.twitter.com/53EBXm2snx
