I was unable to cast votes this evening. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall no. 55 and ``yea'' on rollcall no. 56. ____________________

While he was so proud of his work on protecting the Second Amendment, what he did not mention is that this week is National Gun Survivors Week.
I think we all agree that the current state of our immigration court system is not only completely inefficient; it is truly appalling.
From maternal mortality rates to inaccurate drug prescriptions to cardiovascular procedures, it is clear that minority groups experience worse health outcomes in our healthcare system. Although structural bias is a factor, the unconscious…
With the escalation of conflict in Iran, we are currently living through uncertain times. Today and every day the safety of Americans is my priority, and I am grateful for the brave men and women in our armed services who put their lives…
I did not have the privilege of being born into this country. My mother brought me from Ecuador, looking for freedom and opportunity. But that is not my story alone. This is a story that I share with so many people who live in Florida's…
The number one concern that I continue to hear from my constituents is the high cost of healthcare, especially the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs. From Kendall to Key West, I have heard stories of patients that are forced to…
I did not come to impeach the President. But this President has violated the rule of law.

I appreciate the concern of my fellow colleague from the other side, but you know the technicalities that we have to deal with when dealing with bureaucratic agencies and governments. So we just need to make sure that we do not exclude…

In Florida we're extremely concerned about the security of our elections and the potential for election interference by foreign governments, especially Russia.
President Trump doesn't share these ideas. He has and continues to demand foreign interference into our elections.
And, Mr. Goldman, I want to come back and highlight what I think is the biggest national security threat, and that's foreign interference into our elections.
As an immigrant, when I became a citizen to this great Nation, I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution from all foreign and domestic enemies.
Today we recognize Latina Equal Pay Day. I want to start by emphasizing that the gender pay gap is real, and it hurts Latina women and families. We know that Latinas make only 54 cents for every dollar that a White non-Hispanic male makes…
Each November, we take time to reflect upon the lasting contributions of Native Americans in our country. The rich traditions and history of indigenous peoples shaped our Nation's democracy and cultural fabric long before the writing of…
I want to bring solutions to the table that we can actually address and take action on immediately.
Climate change is not just an environmental issue, and it's not something that we have to deal with in the far-off future.
