We just can't wait any longer.

We have to take climate action now. We don't have time to waste.

I want to bring solutions to the table that we can actually address and take action on immediately.

While some have chosen to put their heads in the sand on this issue, South Florida is stepping up to the challenge.

Innovation like this is the answer. The Committee must take full advantage of the talent we have in our own backyard.

Climate change is not only an environmental issue; it is something that we have to deal with in the far off--not something that we are going to have to deal with in the far-off future.

Climate change is not just an environmental issue, and it's not something that we have to deal with in the far-off future.

Since St. Augustine, Florida, was founded as the first permanent settlement in 1565, the Hispanic and Latino communities have laid the foundations of the prosperous country we are all proud to call home. Last Friday, October 11, I had the…

Instances like the death of Jose cannot be allowed to occur in our immigration system again. We are in the United States of America. We do not violate human rights.

Gun violence is an epidemic. It is a public health epidemic that is affecting our communities all over the country.

We must all respect the rule of law. But every person that is in the United States deserves due process, and in the United States of America, we do not violate human rights.
