Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez, who represents Florida's 28th district in the U.S. Congress, has shared a series of tweets on recent developments, touching on the Congressional Art Competition, his views on Cuba, and the accomplishments of the Cuban-American community. Born in Havana, Cuba, Giménez has been serving in Congress since 2021 after replacing Debbie Mucarsel-Powell and has a background in Florida state politics.

On April 15, 2025, Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez reminded constituents of the upcoming deadline for the 2025 Congressional Art Competition.

Later that day, Gimenez voiced strong opposition to aiding the Cuban government, reiterating calls to cease travel, remittances, and other financial streams to the regime, which he described as oppressive. He called for an end to what he sees as a perpetuation of the regime by "double moral" practices. "#SOSCuba Vuelvo y repito, no más viajes, ni remesas, ni fuentes de ingresos a la dictadura asesina que pisotea al pueblo cubano. La doble moral de muchos ha perpetuado al régimen comunista en el poder y es el momento preciso de acabar con estos sátrapas del partido único."
