Proud to stand with @ByronDonalds yesterday talking about what Florida means for small business—achievability and opportunity. Honored to speak on behalf of Florida’s 600,000+ Hispanic-owned businesses. When Florida wins, Main Street wins. 🇺🇸

This is a critical first step - but in order to continue protecting legitimate Florida businesses we must continue to strengthen enforcement and shut the door on the Chinese illicit market for good.

[Senator Ted Cruz @SenTedCruz]

The FDA’s recent announcement on enforcement against illicit Chinese vapes is an important step toward shutting down an illicit market that fuels cartel-linked smuggling networks, targets kids, and undermines legitimate American businesses.

Sustained enforcement, alongside a clear pathway for legal American products, is critical to finally stopping the illicit Chinese vape marketplace.

[Senator Eric Schmitt @SenEricSchmitt]

Biden opened the door to the illicit Chinese vape companies, and with this announcement, President Trump has slammed that door shut.

We need the FDA to finish the job—authorize more American products and sustain enforcement actions to stop the flow of Chinese products.

Latino entrepreneurs are a driving force in the U.S. economy 🇺🇸
With over 4.5 million Latino-owned businesses, the impact is undeniable, and still growing!

We’re proud to support this community with the resources, connections, and advocacy needed to thrive.

Honored to join the USBC private dinner in Dallas with Secretary Ken Salazar.
AG. Senator. Secretary of the Interior. U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. One of the most accomplished public servants of our time. Great conversation and grateful for the invite. 🙏

441,000 new Hispanic homeowners added in 2025 — the largest single-year increase ever recorded. Without Hispanic buyers, the U.S. housing market would have lost homeowners last year.
We didn’t just participate. We carried it. 🏡

Florida’s record seizure of illegal vape products highlights a growing issue impacting communities and honest businesses.

In a recent opinion piece, @Juliofshcc discusses why continued enforcement matters: https://t.co/L95FnO3Ztv

[Julio Fuentes @JulioFSHCC]

4.5 million Hispanic-owned businesses in the U.S. and counting.
That’s not a stat — that’s a movement. And here in Florida, we’re proud to be at the center of it.

Wishing everyone a Happy Easter. Hope you’re spending it with the people that matter most. 🐣

[FSHCC @FSHCC]

Small business owners face real challenges—from seasonal revenue to rising costs. Policy should reflect that reality.

In a Washington Times op-ed, @JulioFSHCC highlights why transparency & flexible financing matter.
