Dear Friends/Amigos,
This week I was back in Washington advocating for all my constituents in the halls of Congress.
Scroll down below to learn how I am working to provide relief to housing affordability relief to Miami families, supporting our police officers, and more!
Summertime is upon us, so if you and your family are planning a trip to Washington, D.C., contact my office to schedule a tour of the Capitol!
It is an honor to serve you in Congress, and please continue to call my office or visit my website to share your thoughts with me.
As always, I invite you to connect with me on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, to get the latest from Washington and from across our district.
Sincerely/Atentamente,

HOUSING PRICES IN MIAMI MUST GO DOWN! |
|
This week, I introduced a bill to tackle the housing affordability problems that Miamians suffer through every day.
My 'Home Advantage for American Families Act' protects Miami housing markets from excess demand by taxing foreign nationals on real estate purchases. The bill also sets aside millions in tax credits to build low-income housing for Miami residents who are being priced out of our communities.
Know that my friend and colleague Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) are working to always put Miami residents first!

HAPPY NATIONAL POLICE WEEK! |
|
This week was National Police Week, and I wanted to take some time to give my most sincere thanks to all of the men and women in blue who keep Miami safe.
Against all the attacks from those who seek to defund them, slander them, or both, I was proud to vote with my colleagues in favor of giving our police officers and first responders the resources and support they need!
