Long before I served in Congress, I stood in classrooms filled with children whose futures depended on whether the people in power cared enough to act.

Protecting someone’s vision protects their ability to work, care for their family, and move through the world on their own terms," said Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24).

No one should lose their sight because glaucoma went undetected. The Glaucoma Vision Act of 2026 would expand screening coverage, invest in community detection programs, and support vital research to improve treatment and prevent vision…

Glaucoma can steal a person’s sight before they even know they have it. By the time symptoms appear, the damage may be irreversible," said Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson (FL-24).

“I am proud that we brought 60 vendors together to meet our residents where they are and help open doors that can change lives for generations. This is what progress looks like, and we will continue working until every South Floridian has…

“Serving the people of Florida’s 24th Congressional District has been the work of my entire adult life.

“Whether in Washington or in the district, the work never stops for me.

“Although I am currently unable to fly under my doctors’ orders, my work has not stopped for a single day.

“Following left eye surgery, my priority has been ensuring a full and responsible recovery.

Now, Congress must finish the job and pass full-year funding bills that lower costs, protect our communities, and put people first.

This bipartisan bill protects critical housing, nutrition, healthcare, veterans, and infrastructure programs while temporarily blocking the Trump administration’s reckless attempt to politicize federal grants.

Today, I voted ‘YES’ to keep our government open and protect the vital services families across South Florida depend on.

I will also stand with FIU as it delivers critical research and restoration efforts. As a proud steward of the environment, I am proud that this work will positively impact generations of South Floridians.

As Congress’s top Democrat on water resources and the environment, protecting our waterways is my critical mission. There is no South Florida if we do not protect the Everglades and Biscayne Bay.

This is what progress looks like, and we will continue working until every South Floridian has a real shot at success.

I am proud that we brought 60 vendors together to meet our residents where they are and help open doors that can change lives for generations.

When we connect people with meaningful employment, opportunities become careers, careers become stability, and stability strengthens entire families and communities.

Today, more than 2,000 people walked through these doors ready to work, grow, and build a brighter future. That incredible turnout sends a powerful message: South Florida is ready for opportunity.

JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! That has always been my mantra because a good job is about far more than a paycheck. It is about dignity, independence, stability, and the ability to provide for your family.

I look forward to returning soon and continuing to deliver for the people of Florida’s 24th Congressional District with the same dedication, strength, and commitment they deserve.

This job fair will bring employers and job seekers together so qualified workers can explore open positions and take the next step in their careers.

Recent teacher layoffs have also displaced dedicated educators who have spent their careers serving our children.

After DOGE firings disproportionately impacted Black women and other federal workers, we are stepping up to connect our community with new opportunities, resources, and a path forward.

The American people do not want another endless war. Our service members should not be put in harm’s way without a clear plan, a clear objective, and a real path forward.
