Dear

Opportunity
Tour:
Miami,
FL
I
was
excited
to
be
in
Florida
this
past
weekend
with
Senator
Marco
Rubio,
on
the
first
national
stop
of
my
Opportunity
Tour.
We
spent
Friday
&
Saturday
visiting
distressed
communities
and
non-profit
organizations
that
are
working
to
revitalize
low-income
neighborhoods.
Stops
included
the
Overtown
Youth
Center
in
Miami,
the
Mexican
American
Council
Parent
Resource
Center
in
Homestead,
and
the
Urban
League
of
Miami’s
Liberty
City/Model
City.
It
was
great
to
talk
to
so
many
people
that
could
be
positively
affected
by
my
Investing
in
Opportunity
Act,
which
was
strongly
supported
by
my
colleague
Sen.
Rubio.
You
can
check
out
our
op-ed
in
the
Miami
Herald
here,
and
below
are
some
pictures
from
our
stops.
Business
of
Insurance
Regulatory
Reform
Act
of
2018
Last
Wednesday,
I
introduced
the
Business
of
Insurance
Regulatory
Reform
Act
of
2018,
which
is
targeted,
bipartisan
legislation
ensuring
the
Consumer
Financial
Protection
Bureau
(CFPB),
which
was
created
by
the
Dodd-Frank
Wall
Street
Reform
and
Consumer
Protection
Act,
does
not
regulate
the
business
of
insurance.
This
legislation
aims
to
better
codify
the
CFPB’s
current
boundaries
in
the
insurance
business
and
seeks
to
keep
insurance
regulation
on
the
state
level
where
it
belongs.
As
someone
who
sold
insurance
for
23
years,
I
answered
to
our
state’s
insurance
director
in
Columbia,
not
bureaucrats
in
Washington.
Congress
never
intended
for
the
CFPB
to
be
an
insurance
regulator,
and
this
bipartisan,
commonsense
bill
ensures
that
our
150-year
old
system
of
state-based
insurance
regulation
stays
in
place
while
keeping
costs
down
for
policyholders
of
all
kinds.
You
can
read
more
about
the
legislation
here.
WTAS:
The
Investing
in
Opportunity
Act
Last
week
marked
the
deadline
for
governors
across
the
country
to
nominate
their
states’
opportunity
zones
as
part
of
my
Investing
in
Opportunity
Act
(IIOA).
This
is
a
very
exciting
time,
and
people
across
the
country
have
reason
to
celebrate
this
legislation
coming
to
life.
From
the
White
House,
to
Oklahoma,
Colorado,
Georgia,
and
beyond,
hear
what
people
are
saying
about
the
IIOA
here.
Sincerely,
Tim |
