In the ongoing fight to deliver real, common-sense results for Central Florida families, incumbent Democrat Darren Soto has consistently led the charge to improve everyday life in the U.S. House of Representatives. A primary example of Soto’s dedicated public service is his long-standing championship of the Sunshine Protection Act, a popular bill aimed at making Daylight Saving Time permanent across Florida. Switching to year-round Daylight Saving Time offers widespread public health and economic benefits, including extra evening sunlight that promotes physical activity, reduces energy consumption, boosts local small businesses, and eliminates the health hazards associated with changing clocks twice a year. Soto, who originally introduced state-level daylight saving legislation as far back as 2013, has tirelessly pushed Congress to grant federal approval, proving his commitment to listening to residents across Osceola County, Orange County, and Polk County.

This proactive, community-focused leadership stands in sharp contrast to his Republican challenger, Dan Green, who continues to align himself with the destructive economic and anti-healthcare platform of President Donald Trump. While Soto works across party lines to lower consumer expenses, expand healthcare safeguards, and bring federal infrastructure investments home to Kissimmee, Orlando, and Winter Haven, Green represents the same radical conservative agenda that puts corporate profits ahead of working-class needs. Under the agenda backed by Republicans, Central Floridians face higher out-of-pocket medical costs, corporate tax giveaways, and gutting of vital social safety nets.

As the election approaches, voters across Central Florida face a clear choice between Soto’s proven track record of fighting for local families and Green’s rubber-stamp support for divisive Republican policies. For those preparing to cast their ballots in the general election on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, polls across Florida will open at 7:00 AM local time and close at 7:00 PM local time. @repdarrensoto #darrensoto #florida #dangreen #sunshineprotectionact #daylightsavingtime

Congratulations to Oscar Manzanares, Business Manager of Laborers’ Local 517 in Orlando, who was honored by Congressman Darren Soto on October 9, 2026, as a Distinguished Leader in Central Florida for Hispanic Heritage Month.

Oscar started out as a laborer and came up as a steward, a foreman, and an organizer. Today he leads Local 517, bringing new workers into the trades and pushing members toward the training and certifications that build a full career. Congressman Soto entered a statement honoring Oscar into the Congressional Record, writing that Oscar “knows what it means for a family when one person finds steady union work, and he has made it his business to open that door for as many people as he can.”

Oscar was joined by his family and members of Local 517’s leadership. Thank you, Congressman Soto, for recognizing him and for your partnership with the Laborers.

As deportações em massa também têm consequências para a economia. Em entrevista ao Connect News, o deputado Darren Soto afirmou que a medida reduz a disponibilidade de trabalhadores e pode fazer o custo das obras nos Estados Unidos chegar a duas ou três vezes o valor original.

Segundo o parlamentar, os impactos vão além da comunidade brasileiro-americana e atingem toda a população da Flórida Central, que também sente no bolso os efeitos da política migratória.

Em entrevista ao Connect News, o deputado Darren Soto, que representa a Flórida no Congresso americano, se posicionou contra o uso de máscaras por agentes do ICE e defendeu a exigência de mandado judicial para entrar em residências. O parlamentar também comentou os episódios recentes de operações migratórias que terminaram com a morte de imigrantes.

A entrada em casas está no centro de uma disputa judicial: entidades de defesa dos direitos civis contestam uma política do ICE que autoriza, em determinadas circunstâncias, o ingresso forçado com mandados administrativos, emitidos pela própria agência, sem assinatura de um juiz.

Em entrevista ao Connect News, o deputado Darren Soto, que representa a Flórida no Congresso dos Estados Unidos, criticou as tarifas de 50% impostas a produtos brasileiros. Para ele, a medida tem caráter punitivo e prejudica o comércio entre os dois países.

Os efeitos das barreiras comerciais aparecem nos números: no primeiro semestre de 2026, as exportações brasileiras para os EUA caíram 13% em relação ao mesmo período do ano anterior, segundo o Ministério do Desenvolvimento, Indústria, Comércio e Serviços.

From the grocery store to the gas pump, from rising rent to healthcare costs, Florida families are feeling the pressure of an increasingly unaffordable economy.

UnidosUS Action PAC is announcing its endorsements of Angie Nixon for U.S. Senate and representatives Congressman Darren Soto (FL-09), Congresswoman Kathy Castor (FL-14), Kelly Kirschner (FL-16) and Elliot Rodriguez (FL-27) for the U.S. House of Representatives, reflecting our commitment to advancing policies that address the challenges facing Florida’s working families.

We need leaders who are committed to:

🛒 Lowering everyday costs by ending Trump administration tariffs that increase prices on groceries and consumer goods.
🏠 Making housing more affordable by increasing housing supply and cracking down on rent gouging.
⛽ Lowering gas prices by pursuing an end to the Iran war and addressing corporate price gouging at the pump.
🏥 Protecting affordable healthcare by safeguarding Medicaid and lowering health insurance premiums for working families.
⚖️ Demanding accountability in immigration enforcement by ensuring federal agencies follow the law, respect constitutional rights and remain accountable to our communities.

Floridians deserve meaningful solutions to the issues affecting their families, livelihoods and futures.

🗳️ Election Day is November 3. ¡Cuando votamos, ganamos!

A pleasure to be among some of Florida’s finest at Congresswoman Lois Frankel’s brunch at Table 26 last weekend, where we welcomed Congressman Jamie Raskin to Palm Beach County following the Truman-Kennedy-Johnson Dinner. With election season in full swing, it’s all hands on deck as we head into November!
