Today, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) unanimously elected Representative Adriano Espaillat (NY-13) to serve as chairman during the 119th Congress.
“The CHC’s voice is powerful and more so than ever, our efforts are united to uplift Latino communities around our nation,” said Chair-elect Espaillat. “As we enter the 119th Congress, we will face the challenges ahead as a united front to prioritize protections for immigrant communities and ensure policies that are humane and reflective of our nation’s values. As the CHC’s influence has continued to grow since our inception in 1976, our aim today reaffirms our commitment to deliver tangible results for Latino communities across all issues to ensure our voices are heard and our communities have the opportunity to succeed and thrive.”
The CHC now represents the largest group of Latino lawmakers at the federal level of government with 43 members representing constituencies across the nation.
