Rep. Frederica Wilson

Now that I have your attention, make sure you have a plan to vote! 🗳️ Your voice matters, your vote matters, and every election is an opportunity to make your voice heard. VOTE! VOTE! VOTE!

Glaucoma can steal sight before symptoms appear. That’s why I introduced the Glaucoma Vision Act: to expand screenings, bring care to underserved communities, and invest in research. Early detection can protect a lifetime of vision.

Nolan Wells’ name deserves to be remembered, and so does the courage of his parents, Christine Wells-Wonsley and Elmore Wonsley. I was honored to present them with a tribute entered into the Congressional Record, preserving their names and Nolan’s legacy in our nation’s history.

Standing with Christine Wells-Wonsley and Elmore Wonsley Sr., I thanked them for the courage it takes to carry Nolan Wells’ name, memory and legacy forward. Their strength reminds us why this work must continue, and why we can never stop fighting for the lives and futures of our children.

At the Day of Healing Prayer Breakfast, the 5000 Role Models handed out roses with a tenderness that spoke louder than words. I am proud of the care they showed each person they greeted. Their compassion is a form of leadership, and they showed it beautifully.

From the halls of Howard University to the CBCF Annual Legislative Conference, the 5000 Role Models came to Washington with purpose, pride, and a message that cannot be ignored. This is more than a program. This is a movement. And we are just getting started.

Thank you, Leader Jeffries, for taking the time to stand with the 5000 Role Models and pour into the next generation.

Bringing the Role Models to Washington is about showing our boys that these halls of power belong to them, too.

Thank you for standing with our boys, believing in their potential, protecting their futures, and ensuring they have every opportunity to thrive!

Twenty-five years later, we still remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, honor the heroes who answered the call, and stand with the families who carry their memory. We will never forget.

If there is a sword worth falling on, it is this: We will never stop telling the full American story.

That’s a wrap on the Orange Blossom Classic! From the celebrations to the coin toss, it was a joy honoring the rich legacy of our HBCUs and the excellence of our community. Until next year, keep tipping your hats!

Congratulations! I look forward to working with you and continuing the fight together.
