Harlem Rep. Espaillat Elected To Serve As Whip Of The Congressional Hispanic Caucus

November 30, 2018

Today, Representative Adriano Espaillat released the following statement upon his unanimous election to serve as Whip of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

“I am honored to have been unanimously elected to serve as Whip of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and the designated member responsible for coordinating and presenting CHC positions to our Democratic and Republican colleagues,” said Rep. Adriano Espaillat (NY-13). “The CHC will have a record-breaking number of members from around the country during the 116th Congress, and we do not take the privilege of serving the Latinx community in Congress lightly.

“The challenges facing the Latinx community are myriad including the recent actions at the border, the administration’s proposal to ban asylum seekers, the separation of families, ending DACA, and a lack of support from this administration to help Puerto Rico rebuild. The CHC is stronger than ever and has made tremendous strides to speak out boldly against the administration’s anti-immigrant agenda as we advocate for Latinx communities around the nation. With our new House majority and in this role as CHC Whip, I look forward to continuing my fight and working together with my colleagues to create policies that will ensure the American dream remains accessible for all individuals regardless of their race, ethnicity or nation of birth.”

ELIGEN AL CONGRESISTA ADRIANO ESPAILLAT PARA SERVIR COMO COORDINADOR DEL CAUCUS HISPANO DEL CONGRESO (CHC)

Hoy, el congresista Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) emitió la siguiente declaración sobre su elección unánime para servir como Coordinador del Caucus Hispano del Congreso.

“Me siento honrado de haber sido elegido por unanimidad para servir como Coordinador del Caucus Hispano del Congreso (CHC) y el miembro designado por este grupo legislativo con la responsabilidad de coordinar y presentar las posiciones del CHC a nuestros colegas demócratas y republicanos”, dijo el congresista Adriano Espaillat (NY-13). “El CHC tendrá un número récord de miembros provenientes de todo el país durante el 116º Congreso, y no nos tomamos a la ligera el privilegio de servir a la comunidad latina en el Congreso.

“Los desafíos que enfrenta la comunidad latina son innumerables, incluidas las acciones recientes en la frontera, la propuesta del gobierno que afecta a los solicitantes de asilo, la separación de familias, el fin de DACA y la falta de apoyo de esta administración para ayudar a reconstruir a Puerto Rico. El CHC es más fuerte que nunca y ha dado tremendos pasos para expresarse audazmente en contra de la agenda antiinmigrante del gobierno mientras abogamos por las comunidades latinas de todo el país. Con nuestra nueva mayoría en la Cámara de Representantes y en este papel como Coordinador del CHC, espero continuar mi lucha y trabajar junto con mis colegas para crear políticas que aseguren que el Sueño Americano siga siendo accesible para todas las personas, independientemente de su raza, etnia o país de nacimiento”.
