Statement By Florida Speaker-Designate Marco Rubio Regarding Fidel Castro

“”I am following the events regarding the health of Cuban dictator Fidel Castro with great interest. The demise of Castro and his regime is inevitable. We are hopeful that the events of the last 24 hours mark the beginning of freedom and democracy for the people of Cuba.

“I have been in contact with the office of the Governor as well as all the pertinent public safety agencies of the state of Florida. We are confident that the state of Florida, working in partnership with the local and federal government, is fully prepared for any political changes in Cuba.

“This is a time of great hope. I am confident that our community will continue to handle these events in a manner worthy of the enormous contributions Cuban exiles have made to our state and our country.”"
