Debbie Mucarsel-Powell: “We have to confront this crisis head-on.”

To all my colleagues in the committee, it has been the greatest honor to serve with all of you, even in the most contentious times, and I truly will carry these experiences with me.

I have put Everglades restoration as the top priority.

The health of our Everglades really provides us with clean drinking water.
