Clean and safe drinking water is a human right. 50 years ago today, America passed the landmark #CleanWaterAct. It was a commitment to protect our health and our environment and fight against threats to our water quality. Our fight continues today. #ProtectCleanWater — PolitiTweet.org

Today the Senate introduced a companion to my bill to track down culprits who are funding violence and gangs in Haiti. It is time for these criminals to be held accountable, and to help the Haitian people achieve democracy, freedom, and stability. https://t.co/MxKjMq4BWU — PolitiTweet.org

Every Floridian should be able to get where they need to go safely and quickly. We live in the greatest nation on earth. We should not have unsafe bridges. This new funding will create thousands of jobs here in Florida repairing unsafe bridges and growing American manufacturing. — PolitiTweet.org
