ICYMI: Rubio: On Environment, Our Communities Deserve Real Solutions, Not Far-Left Hysteria
Our communities are counting on bipartisan work, not a war of words

Despite hysterical claims by the far left about the “imminent” end of the world, Floridians understand the importance of serious-minded environmental stewardship and climate preparedness.
