Whether it’s curbing tax return identity theft, helping implement the Affordable Care Act to ensure that all Floridians have access to affordable, quality health care, to preserving the Everglades, I will be working hard for South Floridians. On behalf of all Americans, we must find ways to achieve a balanced approach that will reduce our deficit, protect the middle class, and continue to grow our economy.”
