PHOTO RELEASE: Sen. Rick Scott Recognizes Commissioner Sosa; Holds Roundtable Discussion with Colombian Community Leaders in Doral

Statement

Today, Senator Rick Scott held a roundtable discussion with Representatives Carlos Giménez and María Elvira Salazar, as well as Colombian business and community leaders in Doral to discuss Colombia's future under Gustavo Petro, the Senator's continued support for the Colombian community and his efforts to bring freedom and democracy to Latin America.

Prior to the roundtable, Senator Scott recognized Miami-Dade County Commissioner Rebeca Sosa for her decades in public service and incredible efforts to represent her community.

Senator Rick Scott said, "The United States and Colombia share a commitment to promoting security, prosperity, human rights and democracy across the Western Hemisphere. For decades, Colombia has been our greatest democratic ally in Latin America and a partner in combatting drug trafficking. But now that Gustavo Petro is the President of Colombia, I am very concerned about the future of the democracy and the stability of Colombia, and the region. Sadly, Joe Biden -- the man who is supposed to be the leader of the free world -- is nowhere to be found. Unlike Joe Biden, I will never turn my back on the people of Colombia, or Latin America. And I am proud to stand with Colombia in the fight to defend freedom and democracy."
