Carlos Giménez Takes to the House Floor to Praise the Next Speaker of the Florida House

This week, U.S. Rep. Carlos Giménez, R-Fla., took to the floor of the U.S. House to praise incoming state House Speaker Daniel Pérez, R-Miami.

Pérez was designated this week as the next speaker of the Florida House. He will take over from state House Speaker Paul Renner, R-Palm Coast, after the 2024 general elections.

Both Giménez and Perez graduated from Christopher Columbus High School, something the congressman noted in his remarks on the House floor.

“I rise today to honor and congratulate state Rep. Danny Perez on being formally selected as the next speaker of the Florida House of Representatives,” Giménez said. “Most importantly to me and to all my fellow Explorers, Danny Perez will be the first Christopher Columbus High School graduate to serve as speaker of the Florida House of Representatives.

“Senator Marco Rubio paved the way as the very first Cuban-American speaker of the Florida House and now Speaker Designate Perez will be just the third Cuban-American to ever serve in that role,” Giménez added. “Speaker-Designate Perez is happily married to his wife Stephanie, and has two beautiful children, Camila Lucia and Matias Daniel. He is an attorney by trade and a passionate advocate for children, who also serves as National Chair of the American Legislative Exchange Council.

“I look forward to continuing working with Speaker-Designate Perez. I am confident that he will continue being a champion for Miami-Dade County, for the State of Florida, and a responsible steward of our taxpayer dollars,” the congressman said in conclusion. “Adelante Danny, adelante. We are all so proud of you!”
