Dear Friends, 

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the unprovoked terrorist attacks against our dear friend and ally Israel. I continue to stand with Jewish State of Israel and its right to defend itself from Hamas’ violent and terrorist invasion. Am Yisrael Chai.

The growing situation in Israel is worrying. The regime in Iran launched the largest missile attack in history against our allies, the Jewish state of Israel.  As Iran and Hamas continue to grow their dominance in the Middle East, they have unleashed mass chaos which has resulted in thousands of innocent lives being lost, including Americans. Iran has people on their hit list, there are current credible assassination threats towards American officials, like President Donald Trump. The murderous regime must face real consequences for their heinous and pathetic attack targeting innocent civilians in Israel and their murderous threats against American citizens.

The Biden-Harris Administration continues to be weak, and as a result has emboldened foreign adversaries to attack freedom loving citizens and threaten with death our leaders and allies. The US must stand up against terrorist organizations and murderous regimes. As our closest ally, Israel has the unequivocal right as a democratic state to defend itself from murderous terrorists and dictatorial regimes that seek nothing but death. 

As the Jewish people celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, I continue to pray and fight for our ally Israel as they continue to be attacked by terrorist groups and dictatorial states. I wish the entire Jewish community a peaceful and prosperous new year.

Sincerely,

Your Congressman, 
Carlos A. Gimenez

Congressman Carlos Gimenez Urges for Support in Argentina

Alongside Charwoman Maria Elvira Salazar (r-FL) and Reps. Chris Smith (R-NJ), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Mike Waltz (R-FL), Joe Wilson (R-SC), Tom Kean, Jr. (R-NJ), and Keith Self (R-TX), we sent a letter to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Congressman Carlos Gimenez Urges for the Reauthorization of the Farm Bill

With House Republicans, I urge Republican leadership to bring H.R. 8467 - the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, for a vote on the House Floor before the end of the 118th Congress. In the letter we outlined out how high production costs and decline in commodity prices, legislation is necessary in order to invest and support in our farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. South Dade farmers in our district rely on many of the programs in the Farm Bill. It is critical that reauthorization of the Farm Bill be included in the end of year agenda.

In The Media

Congressman Carlos Gimenez Joins Varney & Co.

I joined Fox Business’ Varney & Co. to discuss the ongoing war in Israel. The regime in Iran has launched one of the largest missile attacks in history and we must stand with our ally Israel. The Biden-Harris Administration continues to be weak on foreign policy leaving our allies at risk. I stand with Israel and its right to defend itself.
