WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Senator Rick Scott announced he will donate his first quarter Senate salary to two organizations committed to Puerto Rico disaster recovery efforts.

Senator Rick Scott said, “As Governor and now as Senator, I have stood with the Puerto Rican community, both in Florida and on the Island, and worked to provide every resource available to aid in their recovery. I’m honored to support two incredible organizations that went above and beyond to help Puerto Rican families who came to Florida following Hurricane Maria. It’s humbling to see these organizations, and so many generous volunteers, come together to support our fellow Americans in their time of need, and together, we will never stop fighting for Puerto Rico.”
