Marco Rubio (born May 28, 1971, Miami, Florida) is a Republican Party politician who served as Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives from 2007 through 2009. He earned a bachelor of science degree from the University of Florida and a juris doctor from the University of Miami. During his tenure in the state legislator (2001-2009) he advocated an overhaul of the Florida tax system that would have eliminated all property taxes in favor of a flat consumption tax. Americans for Tax Reform called him "the most pro-taxpayer legislative leader in the country." [1] Additionally, he is a strong advocate of limited government and property rights.
Marco Rubio is a candidate for the United States Senate in 2010, challenging moderate Republican Charlie Crist in a primary.
