Adriano Espaillat, U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 13th district since 2017, publicly acknowledged the contributions of his interns on July 31, 2025, through a series of social media posts in both English and Spanish.
In one post published at 17:26 UTC, Espaillat wrote: “En este #DÃaNacionalDelPasante, me enorgullece reconocer a los talentosos pasantes de mis oficinas de distrito. Su esfuerzo, profesionalismo y perspectiva innovadora son invaluables para nuestro trabajo.
Gracias por sus contribuciones―ayudan a que esta comunidad siga avanzando.”
Later that day at 17:34 UTC, he addressed his Washington office interns in English: “On this #NationalInternDay, I want to recognize the incredible interns in my Washington, DC office. Their dedication, curiosity, and commitment to public service make a real impact every day. Grateful for their hard work and look forward to all they will accomplish in the future https://t.co/STST4I7pzj”
A subsequent message at 18:59 UTC reiterated his appreciation in Spanish: “En este #DÃaNacionalDelPasante, quiero reconocer a los increÃbles pasantes de mi oficina en Washington, D.C. Su dedicación, curiosidad y compromiso con el servicio público tienen un gran impacto cada dÃa. Agradezco su arduo trabajo y espero con ilusión todo lo que lograrán en el”.
