“Marco Rubio, the son of Cuban immigrants, grew up witnessing the values of hard work, faith, and community through his parents' dedication to providing a better future. His father worked as a banquet bartender, while his mother held various roles, including hotel maid and factory worker. Inspired by his grandfather’s experience with communism in Cuba, Rubio pursued public service, starting as a city commissioner in West Miami and later serving as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives. Since being elected to the U.S. Senate in 2010, Rubio has established himself as an effective and bipartisan leader, championing initiatives to support working families, reform the VA system, bolster small businesses, and advance U.S. national security. He and his wife, Jeanette, have raised four children and continue to reside in Florida, grounded in the values of family and public service.”
