Today, Congressman Carlos Gimenez, along with Florida Senator Marco Rubio and the United States Coast Guard, assessed the damage caused by Hurricane Milton across Florida.
"As a career first responder, emergency manager, and mayor of Miami-Dade County, I understand first-hand how important it is to deliver assistance to those affected in the aftermath of a major natural distaste," said Rep. Gimenez. "There is no better partner then our US Senator Marco Rubio to work with and deliver much needed federal assistance to those impacted by Hurricane Milton. I look forward to holding the Biden-Harris Administration and FEMA accountable to get the help they need.”
