John,
I first got the idea to start my family-owned business because of EPA research on water waste.
But now, access to information about our environment, our weather, and innovations in the medical and tech fields are at risk.
One of the many, many things that the Trump administration — with the help of our incumbent Representative Maria Elvira Salazar — has recklessly slashed are research grants at the EPA, NOAA, NIH, CDC, and at colleges and universities across the nation and right here in Miami.
In our own community, the University of Miami’s medical school had over $2 million in research grants abruptly canceled. FIU had hundreds of thousands slashed.
These aren’t cost saving measures. We’re not getting that money back (unless you happen to be a billionaire…). All we’re getting is lost jobs and missed opportunities.
If you’re tired of seeing innovation stamped out and want leadership that will actually help small businesses, I’m running to flip this seat and bring solutions that work for us, not against us, to Congress. If you’re with me, click here to chip in $10.
