Clean drinking water is a basic human right. Investing in clean water is a priority because Florida families deserve the stability and reliability of clean, safe plumbing. #Infrastructure — PolitiTweet.org

Self-care includes making time for the things you love. I love riding my motorcycle on a sunny Florida morning. Take care of yourself today and every day. You deserve time for you. — PolitiTweet.org

Domestic production and manufacturing means more American job creation and fewer supply chain delays. It is a win-win. Our legislation would make these investments. — PolitiTweet.org

We cannot afford to spend months playing political games while Floridians pay skyrocketing costs for prescription drugs. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s time to ban Congressional stock trading. — PolitiTweet.org

Height was a constant, tireless hero of the Civil Rights Movement. This month, let’s take inspiration from her example. #BlackHistoryMonth — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

She said, "I believe we hold in our hands the power once again to shape not only our own but the nation's future—a future that is based on developing an agenda that radically challenges limitations in our economic development, educational achievement, and political empowerment.” — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

For her powerful accomplishments in the struggle for justice, Height received the Citizens Medal Award, the Congressional Gold Medal, and the President Medal of Freedom. https://t.co/EyhLQiTdWu — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

As one of the “Big Six” civil rights organizers, she was a key player in the Civil Rights Movement. She was often ignored in the press due to her gender, but behind the scenes she led the way, advising activists and presidents like Eisenhower, and LBJ. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

As an active member of @dstinc1913, she organized college students and served as the sorority’s 10th National President for nearly a decade. Shortly thereafter, she became President of the National Council of Negro Women, a position she would hold for 40 years. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

She began to work with the National Council of Negro Women, which she would later lead. Its founder, Mary McLeod Bethune, told her, “The freedom gates are half ajar. 'We must pry them fully open.” — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

She earned a degree as a social worker, and continued her activism. She worked with day laborers in New York, Black women who were picked up from street corners and exploited as domestic workers. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Her political activism roots back to her high school days, where she became vocal among anti-lynching campaigns. As the only Black participant in a national oratory competition, she earned first place and a college scholarship. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Today, she is “widely credited as the first person in the modern civil rights era to treat the problems of equality for women and equality for African-Americans as a seamless whole.” https://t.co/oAY12xfbgU — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Dorothy Height, called by President Obama the “godmother of the civil rights movement,” spent her life fighting for justice and equality. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/ag1oJYxmV7 — PolitiTweet.org

This #BlackHistoryMonth, learn about David “Deacon” Jones, a football player from Eatonville, FL. Happy #SuperBowl weekend. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

We don’t see winter for too long here in Florida, but when we do, we need reliable heat. Reducing at home energy costs and the new renewable energy tax credits we passed will reduce household costs. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The solution to combating rising inflation is simple: cut middle class taxes and lower costs on essentials like health care, senior care, child care, and education. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

After 113 years the NAACP continues to champion civil rights, voting rights, and human rights. A critical mission as we work for liberty and justice for all. Congratulations to this pivotal American organization. https://t.co/0d49VUfysk — PolitiTweet.org

All of our children are precious. Our LGBTQ students deserve an educational system that will treat them with dignity and respect. Our hardworking teachers deserve the same. — PolitiTweet.org

“Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.” “Let us at all times remember that all American citizens are brothers of a common country.” Happy birthday, President Lincoln. https://t.co/whtiY3sjZc — PolitiTweet.org

If he carries on with this foolish error, we stand ready to bring down hard, swift, and crippling sanctions against the Russian government, its corrupt oligarch allies, and Putin’s own personal illicit finances. If Putin chooses to move forward, there will be consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Vladimir Putin has escalated tensions every step of the way, building on his illegal annexations with ridiculous demands in pretext for war. The blame is solely his. But war is not inevitable. Putin needs to understand that aggression will be met with accountability. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Our position remains clear: a war that would result in catastrophic casualties and displacement is totally unacceptable. We are united and continue to work with our allies in the effort to keep the peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

The safety of the Floridians serving in the National Guard in Ukraine is a top priority and I trust the DOD’s assurances that they will be safely withdrawn in the event of escalation. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

As a member of @HouseIntel I am continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine as we work to keep all Americans safe. U.S. citizens: please take the State Department’s warning seriously and leave the country as soon as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Safety is key. But I heard from Orlando’s TRACON specialists that they are desperately in need of new facilities as they continue to expand. I am fighting in Congress to give our air traffic controllers the investments they need to keep us safe and moving. https://t.co/xCJs2WezWR — PolitiTweet.org

.@MCO has been planning the Terminal C expansion for decades. Now the project is nearly complete, and will handle millions of additional travelers each year. Proud to support this crucial Central Florida institution with funding from our bipartisan infrastructure plan. https://t.co/h6OGmtN1B6 — PolitiTweet.org

Former Congresswoman Val Demings @RepValDemings

Glad to meet some friends in uniform at @MCO. Thank you for keeping Central Florida safe. https://t.co/zwU3gsNenc — PolitiTweet.org
