Adriano Espaillat, U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 13th district and a native of Santiago, Dominican Republic, highlighted his recent community engagement and constituent services in a series of social media posts this week.
On August 7, Espaillat shared an example of his office’s work, stating: “Otra historia de éxito con la ayuda de mi equipo de servicios a los constituyentes. Desde ayuda con visas hasta la gestión de agencias federales, mis oficinas están disponibles para ayudar según sea necesario. Visite https://t.co/BGKTHHSIZv para más información.”
The following day, Espaillat posted about his participation in a public safety event alongside the New York Police Department and leaders from the National Dominican Day Parade. On August 8, he wrote: “Today, I stood united with the NYPD and @NatDDP leaders to ensure a safe and celebratory weekend. Together, we’re uplifting Dominican heritage and community while prioritizing public safety. https://t.co/j0RwJAiBVh”.

Juntos, enaltecemos la herencia y la comunidad dominicana, priorizando la seguridad pública. “.
