On January 16, 2025, Congressman Carlos Gimenez extended his congratulations to Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody on her appointment as the new U.S. Senator from Florida. This announcement follows Senator Marco Rubio's preparation for confirmation as the next Secretary of State.

"Congratulations to our Attorney General Ashley Moody, the new United States Senator from Florida," said Congressman Carlos Gimenez. "Both as Mayor of Miami-Dade County and Congressman, I have worked alongside Attorney General Moody, to reopen the state of Florida, combat human traffic and secure the border. I look forward to continuing working closely together to protect our state and nation."

Congressman Gimenez represents Miami-Dade County and the Florida Keys in Congress. He is notable for being the only Cuban-born member of the 119th Congress after leaving Cuba following its Communist takeover. His career includes roles as a firefighter paramedic, Fire Chief of Miami, and Mayor of Miami-Dade County. In Congress, he holds positions such as Vice-Chairman of the Republican Governance Group (RG2), Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security, and serves on both the Armed Services Committee and Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party.
