We must all do our part to help ensure no person experiences what #GeorgeFloyd did but only in a peaceful manner. I will always work to protect the right to protest but will never promote or protect lawless acts. pic.twitter.com/Ec4uwQE7WP

Racism and violence are never acceptable. The death of #GeorgeFloyd is condemnable. In #Congress, I’ll fight for all Americans and work to help ensure no person experiences what he did. #FL26

Through stringent guidelines, we are moving to the other side of the curve and now it is time to safely restart our economy. While many are trying to portray things differently, it’s important to remember the good things that are happening.https://t.co/HnAEZwz5jX

I’d welcome a safely-held @GOP convention to #Miami-Dade County. The creation of #jobs and #economic growth has always been my first priority. Our #SoFla #tourism could benefit greatly from an influx of money and a safe number of attendees. https://t.co/stTsOoqJEp

Saddened to hear of the passing of former #Congressman Sam Johnson. A true American hero who served our nation and gave 7 years of his life as a #POW, his is a life worthy of emulation.

Dos regímenes autoritarios, #Iran y #Venezuela, siguen su comercio nefario. Debemos examinar esta relación que puede desestabilizar a nuestro hemisferio. En el #Congreso, prometo abogar a favor de una política en contra de estos regímenes tiranicos. https://t.co/X2HvEWEg7X
