Rubio lays out legislative agenda

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) laid out his legislative goals for the next two years while Republicans control the Senate.

“I look forward to working in a Senate Republican majority to advance the reform agenda I’ve presented this year to promote job creation and higher education, help people save for retirement, improve our anti-poverty programs, and rebuild and modernize our military to meet the challenges we’ll face throughout this century,” Rubio said Wednesday.

Rubio is considered a potential GOP presidential candidate in 2016.

He said he hoped Obama would listen to the “message” from voters and work with the Republican Congress.
