Mr. Kevin Madok Clerk of the Circuit Court Monroe County Board of County Commissioners 500 Whitehead Street Key West, FL 33040-6351 - - --- - - Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts on issues important to you. . Throughout my time as Governor of Florida, I fought every day to create a better life for Florida families. Growing up in a family that.did not have.a lot of money, I watched my parents struggle to find work and provide for our family. My childhood taught me the value of a good job and I have carried that.mindset with me throughout my life. My goal as Governor, and now as U.S. Senator is to make Florida the best state in the nation to find a great job, live in a safe community, and receive a world-class education so every family has the opportunity to succeed. Over the past four years serving as your U.S. Senator, I have seen firsthand the dysfunction that runs rampant through the halls of Congress..I am fighting every day to change Washington and make it work better for families in Florida and across our great nation. Whether it's working to establish term limits for members of Congress, lowering the cost of healthcare.for American families, protecting those with pre-existing conditions and the unborn, or promoting transparency for American consumers, I will always fight to make Washington work for the American people. I will carefully and thoughtfully review each piece of legislation and nomination I, vote on, and will keep your views in mind as I do so. . Again, thank you for your correspondence. I am proud to represent every citizen in Florida and I appreciate the time you took to provide your,position on this matter. Should you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me. 110 HART SENATE OFFICE BUILDING,WASHINGTON,DC 205101 202-224-5274 Sincerely, Rick Scott United States Senator RS/GD Follow my work in the U.S. Senate on Twitter @SenRickScott or rickscott.senate.gov.
