Sen. Rick Scott Celebrates Florida’s Hispanic Communities During Hispanic Heritage Month

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Senator Rick Scott released a video celebrating the 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. Florida is home to thousands of Hispanic-owned businesses that contribute to the Sunshine State's thriving economy.

Senator Rick Scott said, "This Hispanic Heritage Month, we recognize the history, culture and contributions of the Hispanic community and its leaders across our great state. Today, I want to recognize our diverse communities, from our freedom-loving Cuban, Venezuelan and Nicaraguan communities to our wonderful Puerto Rican friends and Brazilian, Colombian, and Ecuadorian neighbors. Florida's rich Hispanic communities make our state the greatest melting pot in the world, have shaped our history and helped make the Sunshine State the best place to live, work and raise a family. As your United States Senator, I'm honored to be your partner in Washington as we continue building on our tremendous success. ¡Espero que todos tengan un feliz mes de la Herencia Hispana!"
