I voted NO on the ICE budget. This budget fails to include critical ICE reforms like no masks, ID requirements, prohibition on sensitive areas, stronger guardrails against their reckless abuses, and more.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social stand for the THREE C’s: 💵 Lower Costs 🏥 Protect our Care ⚖️ Stop Corruption

Capturing the murderous Dictator Maduro is a major step towards a #VenezuelaLibre. Now, there must be concerted efforts to ensure the democratically elected Edmundo González is seated as the rightful new president. (1/3)

With unemployment at its highest since 2021 & rising inflation, Americans are increasingly concerned about record corruption under the Trump Admin. During @naturalresources.bsky.social, I raised these concerns & stressed the need to stop pay-to-play schemes and hold the Administration accountable.

Obamacare rates are surging. 📈 Central Floridians are losing their healthcare. Yet House Republicans are still doing NOTHING. It’s time to come together to lower costs and save healthcare for over 275,000 constituents! mynews13.com/fl/orlando/n...

On #WorldAIDSDay, we honor the lives lost and renew our commitment to ending HIV/AIDS once and for all. In Washington, Positively U in Central Florida proudly displayed a quilt made as part of the #SaveHIVFunding campaign.

Trump continues his wave of destruction upon Florida. This time, he wants to allow manatees to be decimated. He’s pushed offshore oil drilling, more pollution, and is now threatening manatees. Clean water, tourism, wildlife, and recreation are all at risk. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/12/02/m...

Honored to attend #IITSEC 2025—hosted at the Orange County Convention Center! We discussed the importance of virtual simulation training to improve readiness and safety for our service members. This tech is also improving healthcare, energy, logistics, manufacturing, and more.

It was a great time at the 2025 Plug & Play NeoCity Expo! This year, they hosted over 50 tech startup entrepreneurs & semiconductor industry leaders focused on aerospace/defense & medical technology. Great to see this innovation in Central Florida! www.aroundosceola.com/news/tech-en...

He wins, you lose. Trump makes BILLIONS from corruption. Meanwhile, millions of Americans watch their costs rise, lose their jobs, and/or feel the American Dream slipping away. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

🚨: The U.S. SBA is encouraging Floridians who sustained damage from severe storms & flooding on Oct. 26, 2025, to apply for a federal disaster loan. Disaster survivors do not need to wait for an insurance settlement to apply for a disaster loan. Info ⬇️ www.sba.gov/funding-prog...

ICYMI: Lake Toho will see a 160-acre restoration on the north side this year. We are working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers & state & local officials on a long-term $164M restoration to reduce flooding & protect wildlife, water supply, & recreation. www.clickorlando.com/news/local/2...

The Salvation Army's Pathway to Housing Program celebrated a remarkable milestone: Eight families have now become homeowners! Proud to secure $500k for this program & will keep working to ensure families in Central FL have access to affordable housing. www.positivelyosceola.com/salvation-ar...

Honored to be named in the Top 10 of Orlando magazine’s prestigious 50 Most Powerful People. Proud to deliver billions in federal funding to Central Florida for jobs, transportation, healthcare, environmental protection, veterans, housing, and more! www.orlandomagazine.com/50-most-powe...

🌟VICE CHAIR SPOTLIGHT — @repdarrensoto.bsky.social🌟 Darren Soto is a civil rights attorney, Congressman for Florida's 9th District, and a steadfast ally to the LGBTQI+ community. We're proud to have him serve as one of our Vice Chairs this Congress. Let us introduce you:

Great news for Osceola County! 🏡 Falcon Trace II is adding 350+ affordable housing units in Poinciana to serve seniors and working families, thanks to federal LIHTC funds. This partnership is helping promote long-term housing stability for Central Florida. www.positivelyosceola.com/osceola-coun...

Happy Thanksgiving, Central Florida! 🦃 I’m grateful for family and everyone in #FL9. Wishing all Central Floridians a safe and joyful holiday!

Florida’s Fair District Amendments ban partisan gerrymandering. This blatantly partisan redistricting effort is CHEATING and doomed to fail in the courts. ⚖️ mynews13.com/fl/orlando/n...

Obamacare rates are skyrocketing due to House Republicans’ inaction. 📈 In #FL9, we have 275k constituents enrolled, the second-most in the nation. It’s time to come together to #SaveObamacare and lower healthcare costs.

In the Natural Resources Committee, Dems are standing united as we fight to stop Trump’s ban on clean energy projects. As electricity rates rise due to AI and data centers, we need all the energy solutions, including wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, and natural gas, to ensure lower energy costs.

Since Trump took office in January, Florida families have spent up to $2,600 in higher prices due to inflation. Despite Trump's claims that inflation would be in "FULL RETREAT," we are seeing families suffer due to tariffs and broken promises to lower costs. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Thanks to HUD and ARP federal funding, we are grateful to help advance @orangecofl.bsky.social's goal to build 5,000 new affordable housing units for local seniors and families in need. 🏡 www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/10/23/o...

I attended the CHCI #TechSummit, where we discussed rising demand from AI and data centers, and pushing back against Trump’s attack on clean energy to lower energy costs and protect our environment. Hispanics are nearly 18% of the energy workforce and integral to long-term progress.

We hosted @ibewinternational.bsky.social members to discuss our pro-worker agenda: Protecting health care/pension benefits, passing a new infrastructure law, and delivering major projects like expansions of I-4, MCO & SunRail/Brightline, Poinciana Pkwy, and more. We are proud to be #UnionStrong!

Everyone is welcome at Orlando’s world-famous theme parks, hotels, beaches, and lakes. 🏝️ ☀️ Tourism remains steady, but we face some headwinds from tariffs, deportations, and the economy. That’s why I am proud to support the Visit USA Act!

Congrats to ⁦SpaceX on conducting the 100th launch in 2025 at Cape Canaveral last night! It’s another new record. We offer special thanks for flying 93 of them. Let’s keep it going! 🚀👏🏽 www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/20/s...

This is a TERRIBLE idea in Florida! It would trash our environment and hurt tourism and fishing, two top industries here. I’m sure he’d be thrilled to see oil rigs right outside Mar-a-Lago. 🤷 www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

This week, @ffcongress.bsky.social met with @microsoft.com, Google, and OpenAI to discuss AI development, new jobs, cybersecurity, consumer safety, deepfakes, and more. Thankful for their willingness to engage in this meaningful discussion!

Today, we will vote to have the Trump Admin release all the Epstein Files—to deliver the truth, hold perpetrators accountable, and bring peace to survivors. FL must remain a place where our children are safe. We will not tolerate protecting predators in our state. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Trump got the U.S. Supreme Court to block SNAP benefits for millions of Americans, even though USDA had the money to pay them. He used hungry families as a bargaining chip for the shutdown. His cruelty knows no bounds. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

En #FL9, más de 275.000 personas están inscritas en Obamacare. Ahora, los costos están aumentando entre 200-300% o más debido a la inacción de los republicanos. Vamos a seguir trabajando para reducir los costos de la atención médica, de los alimentos y de la vivienda.

Yesterday, @housedemocrats.bsky.social stood united in fighting to lower healthcare costs for the American people. We will continue working together to lower healthcare, grocery, and housing costs, stop rampant corruption, and hold a lawless president accountable.

On #VeteransDay, we honor the tremendous courage & sacrifices of our nation’s veterans & their families. #TeamSoto joined events in St. Cloud, Lake Nona, & Poinciana to express our thanks. We are grateful to help local vets with healthcare, benefits cases, & more everyday! 🇺🇸

After nearly 40 years of breaking ceilings and blazing trails, Nancy Pelosi reminds us: Leadership isn’t about holding power—it’s about serving the people. I’m grateful to have worked with her on key issues impacting Central Florida and wish her every success in what’s ahead.

It’s time to #SaveObamacare, release SNAP benefits, and reopen the government! We visited Second Harvest to discuss the harmful impacts SNAP cuts are having on Central Florida families and the charitable organizations helping to fill the void.

📢SHARE YOUR STORY: Are you a #FL9 constituent and facing Obamacare healthcare hikes if Republicans fail to extend the Premium Tax Credit in the budget? We want to hear from you ⬇️ docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Floridians are being crushed under rising healthcare, food, and housing costs. FL Republicans have been too focused on culture wars. This survey bucks their national narrative today. Saving Obamacare would make a big difference!

The American people spoke LOUD AND CLEAR on election night. They want us to lower rising costs. We can #SaveObamacare to lower healthcare costs, restart SNAP to help with groceries, and reopen the government right now! www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

More than 500K Central Floridians are getting hit HARD by Obamacare hikes this week. Their healthcare rates are rising 200% to 300% or more. Republicans would rather keep the government closed than lower their healthcare costs. We must do better. www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/02/h...

We recently met with constituents hit hard by HUGE hikes to Obamacare: 💬 Carol’s cost is jumping from $52 → $900/month 💬 Stan’s family faces a 400% hike—from $514 → $2,269 💬 Many of Wyel’s clients will go uninsured next year We must save Obamacare & reopen the government.

#HurricaneMelissa was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in Jamaica. Millions of lives will be uprooted. This is close to home for many Caribbean Americans. I led a letter to the Dept of State with @reppablojose.bsky.social & others urging U.S. disaster relief for DR, Cuba, Bahamas, & more.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social were in DC this week working to stop a HUGE healthcare hike for millions of Americans on November 1. Republicans have stayed home for five weeks straight. We stand with federal workers and are ready to reopen the government.

I joined @repjahanahayes.bsky.social, @repangiecraig.bsky.social, and 211 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in sending a letter to @usdagov.bsky.social Secretary Rollins urging the agency to use contingency reserve dollars to fund SNAP during the government shutdown. 42M children & families are at risk.

Trump’s billionaire ballroom will rival the size of the White House itself. What a gilded abomination!

Thank you to nearly 10,000 constituents who joined our Save Obamacare Tele-Town Hall. I remain hard at work to stop a HUGE healthcare hike of 75% or more to Obamacare for 271,000+ constituents and end the #RepublicanShutdown.
