Miami, FL — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a report called “Fighting for Florida: Mid-Term Update” detailing his legislative accomplishments in 2020 and the landmark laws he wrote over the past four years. A non-partisan analysis produced by GovTrack ranked Rubio as the second top leader compared to all Senators in 2020. The same analysis found he was the second top leader in 2019, the fourth top leader in 2018, and fifth top leader in 2017.
“One of my highest priorities is to ensure that my staff and I stand with you as you and your family – and our nation – persevere through this difficult moment,” Rubio said. “No law will ever bring back those whom we’ve lost, but we can – and we must – begin the process of rebuilding our economy, reopening our communities, repairing the damage caused by the coronavirus, and restoring our national unity and civic pride. I remain confident brighter days are ahead for our nation and that our active efforts as an office and people will bring us closer to that horizon.”

Earlier this month, Rubio released a short video recapping his legislative efforts in 2020 on behalf of Florida and the nation. In addition to creating the Paycheck Protection Program, which former CBO Director Doug Holtz-Eakin called “the single most effective fiscal policy ever undertaken by the United States Government,” Rubio passed new laws aimed at helping Florida families and small businesses, strengthening our national security, assisting veterans, and making America’s economy stronger and more resilient.
Key 2020 highlights from the report:
Constituent Service Award. Senator Rubio’s award-winning federal casework team helped roughly 17,000 Floridians deal with everything from being stranded overseas due to the coronavirus lockdowns to navigating the agency process for veterans, immigrants, servicemembers, the unemployed, and the homeless. Overall, the team handled nearly 41,000 cases over the past four years.
New Laws. Senator Rubio authored dozens of laws over the past four years, including the historic expansion of the child tax credit, the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act, the Central Everglades Planning Project (CEPP), numerous bills on Venezuela and China, and, of course the Paycheck Protection Program.
