All seven Democratic members of Congress from South Florida, the region of the state that’s been by far the most affected by the new coronavirus, are warning Gov. Ron DeSantis that they have “grave concerns” about the way he’s trying to reopening the state.
U.S. Reps. Ted Deutch, Lois Frankel, Alcee Hastings, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Donna Shalala and Frederica Wilson said their concerns extend beyond Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties, which they represent.
In a letter to DeSantis they plan to release Friday, the members of Congress said they have “grave concerns with the reopening of our state and its implications for the safety of Florida’s residents as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
