Mandatory evacuation orders have now been issued for coastal areas (Zones A and B) of Palm Beach County and Martin County. If you live in these areas, heed the warning and listen to your local officials. This is a dangerous hurricane. Your safety is paramount.

One year ago today, 17 lives were lost in the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Today and always we remember them; they will not be forgotten. #MSDstrong#17eagles
May we never forget the 17 beautiful faces and names of those who tragically lost their lives, and lift up their families and loved ones in prayer.

Today I sent a letter to @fdlepio Commissioner Rick Swearingen directing FDLE to establish a threat analysis strategy. I want to ensure that all government agencies work together to identify and stop potential acts of violence before they happen.
