In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“As someone who fled communist Cuba as a child, I know firsthand where socialism leads. It destroys freedom, crushes opportunity, and empowers government at the expense of the people. We cannot allow the failed ideas that have devastated nations around the world to take root here in the United States. I will always fight to protect our democracy, defend individual liberty, and ensure America never becomes a socialist nation.”
CONGRESSMAN CARLOS A. GIMENEZ JOINS SURVIVORS OF SOCIALISM ROUNDTABLEJul 21, 2026 · Official · gimenez.house.gov [Official] · source
“South Florida is one of the busiest international gateways in the United States, and we must keep passengers and airports moving efficiently while maintaining the highest security standards. I am proud that the House passed the bipartisan One-Stop Pilot Program Extension Act, a common-sense bill that will reduce delays, ease congestion at our airports, and improve the travel experience for international passengers without compromising safety. This legislation strengthens our aviation system, supports our economy, and reinforces America's leadership in secure and efficient international travel.”
U.S. HOUSE UNANIMOUSLY PASSES REP. GIMENEZ'S ONE-STOP PILOT PROGRAM EXTENSION ACTJul 13, 2026 · Official · gimenez.house.gov [Official] · source
“Spain has long been an important ally of the United States, but Prime Minister Sánchez's government has chosen political posturing over moral clarity. I cannot continue serving as Co-Chair of a caucus dedicated to strengthening ties with a government that is actively undermining one of America's closest allies. I stand firmly with Israel and with every democracy fighting terrorism.”
