WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—Today, Senator Rick Scott visited West Palm Beach to host a roundtable as part of his ‘Keeping Our Kids Safe Tour’ to highlight his legislative priorities and actions to protect Florida kids and families. Over the next week, Senator Scott is visiting cities across Florida to hear from families and local leaders about making Washington work to keep families safe and ensure Florida is the best state to work, go to school, visit and raise a family.

Senator Rick Scott said, “Parents know what is best for their children and keeping them safe is my top priority. I am thankful for the opportunity to travel to West Palm Beach and hear from parents and their community leaders about what they are most focused on when it comes to raising their families. Unfortunately, the fentanyl crisis continues to rage, AI has started to creep into our kids’ lives, the border is wide open and I hear from parents that they’re constantly worried about their children—it is time to act. That is why I have introduced extensive legislation that keeps our kids safe like my END Fentanyl Act, ASK Act and School Guardian Act, just to name a few. We need to build a world that they are safe to grow up and go to school in, and I am fighting to give parents the comfort of waking up, dropping their kids off at school and feeling reassured that they will return home every single day. We can all agree we must do everything we can to keep our kids safe at school, home and online. We’ve made progress, but I won’t stop fighting until we get this all done.”
