Dear Friends of District 8,
It's hard to believe, but this week we held the final regularly scheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting with the current slate of commissioners.
I'm proud that we passed my legislation urging Congress to renew federal relief to the airline industry, including contractors and concessionaires, to prevent massive layoffs.
The airline industry is vital to our local economy. With unemployment in Miami-Dade now at 13% – the second highest in the state – we urgently need more federal support to keep tens of thousands of workers on the payroll and put money back in the pockets of hurting families.
And today, we continued our efforts to feed families in need with a food distribution at First Baptist Church of Homestead along with Farm Share and Miami-Dade Police Department.
Yours in community,
Daniella
P.S. With the commission calendar closing out this week, I've been looking back at some of our legislative milestones along this journey. Read below for a "top 10" list of Team 8 wins!
