U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) attended Florida Citrus Mutual’s Annual Citrus Crop Estimate to discuss post-Hurricane Ian assistance to growers. Rubio toured the groves, met with industry leaders, and delivered remarks. U.S. Representatives Scott Franklin (R-FL) and Kat Cammack (R-FL) also attended the event.
 
Rubio also released details of an initial $33 billion major disaster supplemental spending measure, including nearly $3 billion for U.S. Department of Agriculture programs.  
 

  • “We’ll make sure, just like we did after Irma, that any spending bill will have sufficient support for the people in Florida’s agricultural and rural communities, many who have lost everything.”  — Senator Rubio
