Social Security is the only thing most Americans can count on to keep them out of poverty during retirement.
Social Security is too vital to be lumped into backroom budget talks where the views of ordinary Americans risk going unheard.
My connections to Broward are long, and they are deep, and I'm proud of them.
I'm really excited about the prospect of deepening what is already a really strong relationship that I have with the people of Broward.
The issues that we face as a country and in South Florida aren't broken down by city line or county line.
I am excited to run in the community where my wife and I work, where my daughters graduated and my son attends high school, where my family goes to synagogue, and where I have spent so much time working for and with the people of South Florida.
Why does America always need to be the world's policeman?
We need to work tirelessly to help create new jobs and good jobs here in Florida.
We need to recognize the opportunity that green jobs present to Florida and to the economy.
Energy legislation in Congress and the focus on energy legislation is first and foremost about creating good jobs. In Florida, where solar and biofuel and wind and so many other areas are important and so many in the private sector continues to pursue these, we need policies that will encourage that.
Social Security is fundamentally strong.
Those who want to cut Social Security are prepared to take hostages, manufacture crises, and use scare tactics to undermine the retirement security of Americans.
No matter how many times you say Social Security is broke, the reality is that Social Security's independent revenue stream and its Trust Fund's investments maintain the program's solvency until 2037, when it may begin to fall short.
Social Security is legally prohibited from contributing to the deficit. It cannot use debt to pay out benefits.
We must not allow the Iranian regime to use the nation's vast energy resource as a financial pipeline for its nuclear ambitions.
What's lost in this whole debate, unfortunately, is that Social Security is not a giveaway where we take money to give to other people. It's a contract with the government... that's worked for 75 years. It's the most successful government program that we've ever had.
My passion for strengthening the community and making peoples' lives better is stronger now than when I first got into politics.
Having an understanding of what's possible also makes me redouble my efforts to fight those who stand in the way of doing the things that my constituents and the country would want to get done.
I have an open door to meet with my constituents and that I work hard to respond to their needs, and I'm proud of the constituent service that we provide.

Someone who understands them, who wants to represent them, and who works tirelessly every day on behalf of their interests and their values.
Citizens United opened a door that's frustrated anyone who's looking.
Corporations that are formed for the purpose of earning profits do not have the constitutionally protected rights that natural citizens have. They should not spend their corporate dollars, Treasury dollars, to influence outcome of elections.
We ought to be able to forgo the constant need to raise money and just focus on working together to solve the problems this country faces.
There's been an unfortunate history of efforts to make sure Florida's votes don't count. Given that history, it's clear why people here would be especially concerned about efforts undertaken by Super PACs and the corporations that fund them to dictate the outcome of elections.
We count on the FEC to be the public's watchdog.
I came here with a lot of things that I would like to get done for my community and my constituents. Shooting hoops at the White House was not at the top of the list but would certainly be a thrill.
The Florida Jewish community is incredibly important in the primary and will be that important in the general election as well.
People can certainly take pride in the fact that there is a Jewish candidate for president who has received delegates and who has run a terrific campaign and still work hard to ensure we elect Hillary Clinton.
After a decade in public life working to stop Iran from ever acquiring nuclear weapons, I cannot support a deal giving Iran billions of dollars in sanctions relief - in return for letting it maintain an advanced nuclear program and the infrastructure of a threshold nuclear state.

Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness, and yet so many Americans are left to fight this battle without the coverage, support, and resources they need.
If we are going to use places of worship as polling places, we should not discriminate.
It is well past time for President Abbas to stand up and condemn all acts of violence, rather than encouraging violence by glorifying terrorists and teaching children to view Israelis as animals.
There's no question that looking down to search the Web, send a text message, or log onto Facebook puts you in danger and puts people around you on the road in danger.
For many older Americans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, a lifetime of discrimination has undermined their right to a retirement with dignity.
Many of my constituents are in their 80s, 90s, even 100, and our focus is ensuring that their needs can be provided for.
Because Republicans have no ideas, they want to turn elections into the battle of dollars.
Let's make Jeb Bush explain his plan to give millionaires another massive tax cut.
Let's make Marco Rubio explain why he thinks oil companies should write our energy policy.
Let's make Donald Trump explain his hair.
Ultimately, the goal of sanctions is to ratchet up the economic pressure on the Iranians to such a level that the regime determines it is simply too great to bear, and they are forced to weigh the decision to carry on their nuclear development and their illicit quest for nuclear weapons against the ever-growing pressure from their own people.
Standing up to Ahmadinejad is not a partisan issue and should never be one.
It is no surprise that companies do not often respond to moral pressure alone. We need to hit them hard in their pocketbook and on their balance sheet. We need to show them that their stock prices will be affected if their actions encourage Iran's nuclear weapons ambitions.
