CHC Chair Barragán and Deputy Chair Espaillat Stand with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressional Hispanic Caucus Chair Nanette Barragán and Deputy Chair Adriano Espaillat released the following statement:

“We stand with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. For the last year and a half, the Biden-Harris Administration partnered with The Congressional Hispanic Caucus’ initiative to take CHC on the Road. Through that initiative, we have worked to empower Latino communities across the country. Just last week, the CHC was on the road with First Lady Dr. Jill Biden in Allentown, Pennsylvania, a town that’s over 50% Latino, to highlight the investments Democrats and the Administration have made and will continue to make in education and workforce development. President Biden and his Administration have worked closely with House Democrats to make historic investments to positively impact communities across the country, including Latinos, such as investments to combat climate change, lower healthcare costs, expand access to healthcare for our veterans, and create jobs with the Infrastructure bill. Most recently, President Biden announced an executive action that was a top CHC priority, to protect the noncitizen spouses of U.S. citizens to keep families together.

We look forward to our continued partnership on the road and legislative wins to benefit the American people.”
