Carlos Curbelo represented Florida’s 26th Congressional District from 2015 to 2019. In the House, he was consistently ranked one of the most bipartisan members for his work to build consensus across the aisle on challenging policy questions.
While in Congress, Carlos led on climate policy, tax policy, immigration reform, and gun safety. He co-founded and co-chaired the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, served in a leadership role in the Problem Solvers Caucus, and led the Brazil Caucus to strengthen the bilateral relationship with Latin-America’s leading economy. In 2017, he was honored by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation with the New Frontier Award for his work promoting bipartisan cooperation on environmental policy. That same year he was an original co-sponsor of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. In 2018, he filed the Market Choice Act, ambitious legislation that would invest nearly a trillion dollars in American infrastructure while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by pricing carbon and promoting deregulation.
Prior to his election to the U.S. House, Carlos served on the School Board of Miami-Dade County, overseeing the fourth-largest school district in the country. He completed a fellowship at Harvard’s Institute of Politics in 2019, and served as a distinguished visiting fellow at Columbia’s Center on Global Energy Policy and Chicago University’s Energy Policy Institute. Carlos is an on-air analyst for NBC News and Telemundo News, and after departing Congress, launched Vocero LLC, a communications and public affairs firm.
