Dear friend,
Thank you to all of my neighbors and local leaders who are working to lift our community.
From welcoming Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to the Port of Tampa Bay where we celebrated a $12.6 million dollar grant to lower costs to sharing the good news of lower prescription drug costs with seniors, our neighbors can look forward to relief and progress.
This year’s American Dream Awards gave us the chance to honor some of the immigrants who are opening doors and increasing access to opportunity for everyone who calls Tampa home. Learn more about their stories and work here.
Yes, that was me with President Biden as he signed the Inflation Reduction Act to lower drug costs, taking on Big Pharma’s egregious price gouging and instituting an out-of-pocket cap for seniors. Important for Florida, we’re also delivering the largest climate and clean energy investment in history, paving the way for reduced pollution, cleaner air, and cost-saving electric vehicles and technologies, all while making a historic down payment on deficit reduction of approximately $300 billion to fight inflation.
You may have received information on how to take advantage of the law’s cost-saving measures in the mail – you can find that information here.
