WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, in recognition and celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Senator Rick Scott released a video featuring Hispanic leaders and entrepreneurs from Florida’s Puerto Rican, Cuban, Venezuelan, Colombian, and Nicaraguan communities. In the video, Senator Scott highlights and celebrates the incredible people, stories, and contributions of the Hispanic community that have shaped Florida’s history and helped to make the Sunshine State an incredible melting pot and the best place in the nation to live, work and raise a family.  

Senator Rick Scott said, “As we mark the first day of this special month, I want to highlight some of the many Hispanic Floridians, who with their hard work and dedication, have helped make Florida the best place in the country to live, work and visit. Their contributions have become icons in Florida, and everyone should know the story behind them. Thank you to the Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Nicaraguans, and the entire Hispanic community in Florida for demonstrating with actions the importance of fighting for freedom and democracy, for never resting until you achieve your dreams and for enriching our state with your wonderful culture. ¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana!”
