Democratic State Congressman Darren Soto had lots of great news for Florida families in December! They introduced the bipartisan REBATE Act to allow Florida families access to over $346 million in rebates to save money on energy-efficient appliances and homes. They also hosted a Future of Central Florida Water roundtable with federal, state, and local officials.
They’ve secured over $500 million in WIFIA loans for water supply, authorized nearly $164 million for flood control, and worked on the restoration of Big Lake Toho, Shingle Creek, Kissimmee River, and Lake Runnymede.
They also secured an up to $289 million grant to lead the way in developing next generation aerospace microchips, creating new high-paying jobs and defending our nation. They also received news that we may be getting the largest solar project in America in Florida’s Ninth Congressional District, as Florida Power & Light purchase the 150-acre El Maximo Ranch in Osceola County.
All of these accomplishments were a result of the Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress during the Democrat lead 2021-2022 sessions. So let’s all work hard to get more Dems elected to keep our progress moving forward!
