The first Hispanic woman to serve in Florida state's House or Senate--went on to become the first Latina in Congress and rose to be the first woman to chair the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. She's inspired many of us to follow her public service example. For over three decades she's been a champion for the LGBTQ community, a critical voice in promoting democracy in Cuba and Venezuela, a leader in advancing the well-being of the Hispanic Community, and a tireless human rights advocate across the globe. I've been proud to work with Rep. Ros-Lehtinen on initiatives like: BRIDGE United States-Israel Agriculture Strategic Partnership Act Hurricane Irma Disaster Relief in Florida Hurricane Maria Disaster Relief in Puerto Rico She has a gift of bringing people together. Floridians are proud to have had Ileana as a public servant and her legacy will live on. ____________________
