Carlos Antonio Gimenez proudly represents the people of Florida’s 26th congressional district, encompassing all of Monroe County and the southwest portion of Miami-Dade County.
First elected to Congress in 2020, he serves on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, the Homeland Security committee, and the Science, Space, and Technology Committee. He is also a part of the Freedom Force Caucus.
Carlos is a husband, father, grandfather, and a public servant who has dedicated his life to serving the Miami-Dade community. Born in 1954, Carlos immigrated to the United States in 1960 following the Cuban Revolution, settling in the Little Havana neighborhood in Miami. His family’s experience helped shape his servant’s heart and his dedication to this community, understanding the importance of protecting individuals’ freedom to pursue their potential.
As a growing tech hub, housing some of the most important entry points in America, and a booming agriculture industry, trade is incredibly important to South Florida. I support establishing new partnerships around the world to expand markets for our producers, as long as our trade agreements are both free and fair, protecting American producers from unfair trade practices.
We also cannot allow adversaries like China to manipulate our trade agreements to undercut American firms. I support taking bold measures to address anti-competitive behaviors in global trade. We must give establish an equal playing field in the global market for U.S. manufacturers, farmers, and workers.
