Sen. Rick Scott: "The brutal Maduro regime violently intercepted María Corina Machado while she bravely and peacefully stood with the Venezuelan people for freedom and democracy. This outrageous assault on @MariaCorinaYA demands swift and forceful condemnation and actions from the international community, starting with the United States. We’ve already contacted the White House and State Department to insist they do everything possible to get María released immediately."

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: Moments ago, @MariaCorinaYA was shot at & arrested by Maduro’s secret police at a rally demanding respect for the election results & human rights. I strongly condemn this outrageous attack on democracy in #Venezuela & urge all leaders to join in demanding her immediate release.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz: "Signing my oath to start this new Congress. Looking forward to another term representing ALL constituents of Florida’s 23rd District!"

GOP Chair Evan Power: "As state party Chairman, I love doing my job. I have great appreciation for the work that occurs at the county level because I was a county GOP chairman too. We remain inspired by our grassroots leaders who freely give of their time and personal resources to ensure that our voice is heard and Florida remains red."
