Investing in South Florida
As the elected representative of Florida’s 22nd Congressional District, one of my most important responsibilities is ensuring that the federal government is investing in critical priorities in our community, and that we in South Florida receive our fair share from Washington.
Over the last few months, I have worked closely with representatives of local governments, colleges and universities, law enforcement agencies and community leaders to determine their most urgent needs in these difficult economic times. Following these consultations, I have submitted requests for federal support of local projects to the House Appropriations Committee. My priorities in submitting these requests were creating jobs, protecting public safety, investing in alternative energy research and restoring the Everglades.
Please note, the projects listed below are requests my office has submitted to the House Appropriations Committee. Not all projects and funding levels will be approved. Please click here for a complete list of local investments that I have requested in each of the following categories:
- Education and Job Training
