Wilson (FL-24) released the following statement addressing rising costs driven by escalating global conflict and its impact on South Florida. “People across South Florida are already feeling the strain. They cannot afford to pay more because of instability and poor decisions. “Rising global conflict is driving up costs, from gas prices to everyday essentials, and our community is feeling it in real time.
