EXCERPT:
MUCARSEL-POWELL: “Look, Katie, I’ve been living in this state for decades now and I experienced the attacks on our freedoms by Rick Scott when he was governor. I came here when I was 14, my mother brought us for opportunities, knowing that in this country, no matter who you are, where you come from, you can make it. That’s exactly what happened. This community sent me in 2018, if you remember, as the first South American woman to ever serve in Congress. That was incredible. They did that because they needed a change. That’s exactly what’s happening here. Our democracy is at stake, Rick Scott is a fraud. Florida families know that. He is someone that is trying to raise taxes on middle-class families. He wrote the plan to pretty much end Medicare and Social Security, and he has become such an extremist, supporting the most extreme abortion ban here in our state. As a mother of two daughters, I will not stand for that.”
