The United States must continue to support a democratic, prosperous, and stable Haiti, and help the Haitian people as they recover from this latest natural disaster.

Florida is home to a vibrant Haitian community, and I remain committed to being a voice for them in the U.S. Senate" declared U.S. Senator Marco Rubio.

For her part Congresswoman Frederica S. Wilson declared "Under less than ideal circumstances, the citizens of Haiti on November 20 helped their nation take an important step toward governance.

District 24 includes one of the nation's largest Haitian communities and I look forward to working with Haiti as it continues moving forward."
