Washington, D.C. – Tomorrow, at approximately 12:10 pm EST, U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) will deliver remarks at the unveiling of Boris Nemtsov Plaza.

In February 2017, Rubio introduced legislation in the Senate to rename the street and worked closely with D.C. City Council members on the initiative. A timeline of Rubio’s efforts on Boris Nemtsov Plaza can be found below.
