Frederica Wilson: “Had I been present, I would have voted ``nay'' on rollcall No. 135. ____________________”

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

We should be working together to ensure that law abiding components of DHS remain fully operational and that the people who serve there are paid without delay.

This is about people who are working hard and still being forced to make difficult choices just to get by.

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