Congressman Darren Soto wants more SunRail through parts of Polk County and advocates for it in this recent editorial in the Lakeland Ledger:

Soto sees the merit in connecting SunRail to Brightline's planned Tampa-Orlando extension. There is no mention in his editorial of extending SunRail to the Amtrak station in Downtown Lakeland.

We strongly support the expansion of Brightline. FCRP's President, Steve Sayles, was at the hearing in Tallahassee to speak in support of the financing for Brightline.
