Today, we remember the 49 angels lost at Pulse Nightclub.
As we honor their memory, we stand with the survivors and loved ones and remember that hate has no place in our nation. We will never forget.

Sharing my story on Who’s Your Ma Honey? was a moment of reflection on a lifelong journey of service.
From educator to Congresswoman, my path has always been guided by one mission: to uplift children, strengthen families, and expand opportunity. I carry my community with me in every step I take.
Grateful to the EPYC Team and OneUnited Bank for the invitation. Tune in June 18.

Leadership starts long before a title is earned.
The 5000 Role Models of Excellence Project was built on the belief that every young person can succeed when given the support, guidance, and opportunity to thrive.
As we celebrate the end of another school year, I am proud of these young men and the example they set every day.

I voted NO on H.R. 8646 because I believe every child deserves food on the table, every family deserves to live a quality of life, and every American deserves a government that puts them before politics.

We must protect Medicaid, preserve HIV/AIDS research, and defend the public health services that help save lives.

I was proud to deliver $400,000 to Jessie Trice Community Health System, a trusted provider that has served Miami-Dade families for generations.
Protecting Social Security and Medicare means protecting access to quality, affordable health care. I will continue fighting for the community health centers that South Florida families deserve.
