Dear Fellow Floridian,For much of the start of this week, it seemed like Congress was barreling toward a government shutdown or another massive, last-minute omnibus spending bill. I share in Florida families' frustrations and continue to fight to make sure that doesn't happen.Like I wrote in my op-ed earlier this week, I don't know anyone that wants to see the government shutdown. That's why I've been calling on leadership to put America first and pass a budget on time. That’s what our constituents
