WASHINGTON - Congressmen Byron Donalds (R-FL) and Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) introduced a resolution expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that southwest Florida is an economic, demographic, agricultural, and environmental treasure with many inherent benefits that should be recognized, acknowledged, and appreciated. 

"Serving the people of Collier and Lee Counties in the House of Representatives is an incredible honor. I'm blessed to work for and live in the most remarkable region of America. From our vast ecological landscapes, world-class educational and medical facilities, bustling economic corridors, and resilient people—there's no place like southwest Florida. This resolution, introduced alongside my friend and fellow Collier Representative Díaz-Balart, rightfully acknowledges and appreciates everything our community offers." – Rep. Donalds

“It is an honor to join my dear friend and colleague, Congressman Byron Donalds, in recognizing the rich tapestry that is southwest Florida. This year, Collier County, the second-largest county by size in Florida, celebrates its centennial in Everglades City, the County’s birthplace. Collier County is a thriving economic, demographic, agricultural and ecological community which I have had the privilege of representing and I look forward to working towards its continued growth.” – Rep. Díaz-Balart
