Frederica Wilson: “Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Some of the people you see in the audience are from Good Jobs Nation.”

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.

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.

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.
