Senator Jason Pizzo-FL Senators and Representatives often provide legislative updates to our cities. With less than 10 days before the first anniversary, none have been more significant (for me) than appearing before the @TownSurfside to highlight condo reform has been signed into law. #Surfside

Lauren Book-Deeply honored to receive support from my friends at @equalityfl ! I am proud to be an unwavering ally in the fight for equality so that no Floridian faces discrimination, harassment, or even violence simply for being who they are.

State Senator Tina Polsky-When happened to parental rights? Now the government is telling me I can’t get a vaccine for my toddler in FL. I thought that was the whole point of the parental rights argument? Guess it only applies to books, not life-saving vaccines. Unconscionable, immoral and dangerous.

Wilton Simpson-@JoeBiden your economic ignorance will bring more food supply chain shortages and continue to drive up costs on hard working Floridians. 'Just drive less' is not a policy that gets affordable food from our farms to anyone's table.

Congressman Greg Steube-I am very glad to see the Biden Administration leave the IRGC on the Foreign Terrorist Organizations list, after considering removal. Now @SecBlinken must move forward with Sec. Pompeo’s policy recommendations to advance a more democratic, secular, & nonnuclear Republic of Iran.

Rep. Brian Mast-My provision in WRDA 2022 mandates a note be made in the file of every servicemember who is exposed to toxic algal blooms at Lake O. That way, if they experience health problems, they won’t have to fight to prove it’s connected to their service.
