Calls Diaz-Balart an “irreplaceable champion of democracy”

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator George LeMieux (R-FL) today issued a statement regarding the announcement by Representative Lincoln Diaz-Balart (R-FL) that he will retire from Congress.

Senator LeMieux said:

“Florida is losing one of its strongest voices in Washington. For almost two decades, Lincoln has been an irreplaceable champion of democracy. He has represented the people of South Florida with integrity and effectiveness. Since I arrived in Washington, he has been a good friend and one of my key advisors on critical policy affecting South Florida and the Western Hemisphere. I thank Lincoln for tirelessly serving the people of Florida and for the personal sacrifices he has made to advance the causes of freedom, democracy, and human rights throughout the world.”
