Marco Rubio was born in 1971 in Miami, Florida as the son of two Cuban immigrants pursuing

the American Dream. His father worked as a banquet bartender, while his mother split time as a
stay-at-home mom and hotel maid. From an early age, Rubio learned the importance of faith,
family, community, and dignified work to the good life.

Rubio was drawn to public service in large part because of conversations with his grandfather,
who saw his homeland destroyed by communism. After meeting and marrying his wife Jeanette
—and earning degrees from the University of Florida and the University of Miami Law School—
Rubio served as a city commissioner in West Miami and Speaker of the Florida House of
Representatives. In 2010, he won a seat in the U.S. Senate.

During his first term, Senator Rubio experienced the Washington gridlock. Efforts at reform met
tough resistance from extreme partisanship and an engrained elite establishment, both of which
benefited from the status quo. Senator Rubio also saw firsthand the communities the
establishment had left behind: towns and cities devastated by the loss of dignified work and
corroded by a culture that had forgotten the need for faith, family, and community.

But those experiences didn’t discourage Senator Rubio—they only strengthened his
determination to revive the American Dream for hardworking Americans. Now in his third term,
he continues to enact common-sense policies that create good jobs, strengthen communities,
and protect Americans from the Chinese Communist Party.

In addition to providing award-winning constituent service, Senator Rubio has authored


hundreds of new laws, including some that are truly transformational. He led the effort to reform
the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and provide health care benefits to veterans suffering
from toxic burn pit exposure. He doubled the federal child tax credit for working families. He kept
millions of small businesses afloat during the pandemic lockdowns, through the historic
Paycheck Protection Program. And he secured generous funding for Everglades restoration
efforts.

Senator Rubio also wrote and passed the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which
represents the greatest turning point in U.S.-China relations in decades. For these
achievements and more, the Center for Effective Lawmaking consistently ranks Rubio among
the three most effective senators in Congress.

Fighting partisan gridlock and elite complacency is never easy, but Senator Rubio is honored to
serve his country and the people of Florida. Every day, he wakes up determined to make it
easier for you and your family to pursue the American Dream. He will not stop until American
politics is once again centered on common sense and the common good.
