Bill Nelson
The Public Record
Bill Nelson is an American politician and attorney who served as a United States Senator from Florida from 2001 to 2019. A member of the Democratic Party, he previously represented Florida's 9th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 to 2001. Nelson also held the position of Florida's Insurance Commissioner from 1995 to 1999, where he focused on consumer protection and insurance reform.

Going forward, we will not blindly stay the course. Instead, we will set clear metrics to measure progress and hold ourselves accountable.
Are those metrics--you mentioned the Intelligence Community (IC). Are these metrics such that we'll be able to discuss them in public?
I would also like to express my personal appreciation to Senator Bill Nelson for his commitment to helping affected homeowners.
So, what do you do, install some of the heads-up equipment in the cockpit and, in South Florida, you're broadcasting off of the satellites instead of through your normal communication?
