Adriano Espaillat, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 13th district, has recently taken to social media to highlight notable women in his constituency and address pressing healthcare issues. In his posts, he acknowledges the contributions of local female leaders during Women’s History Month and discusses potential impacts on healthcare costs due to policy changes.
On March 22, 2025, Espaillat tweeted about Deirdre McIntosh-Brown, stating: “Marzo es el Mes de la Historia de la Mujer, y quiero destacar a mujeres fuertes del NY-13. Deirdre McIntosh-Brown es la tesorera de la Junta Comunitaria 9 de Manhattan. Su labor contribuye a la comunidad y rompe barreras para las mujeres en todo el estado. Gracias, Deirdre, por”.
The following day, March 23, 2025, he highlighted another community leader: “March is Women’s History Month, and I want to highlight strong women in NY-13. Jessica Elliott is the Vice Chair for Manhattan Community Board 11, contributing to the community and breaking barriers for women across the state. Thank you, Jessica, for all of your hard work and https://t.co/t9p8EOuqrh”.
Later that day on March 23rd, Espaillat addressed concerns over healthcare costs with a critical view on potential policy changes: “If the GOP has it their way and the Affordable Care Act’s expanded tax credits expire, costs will skyrocket for up to 90% of families that purchase their coverage in the marketplace. While Trump gambles with America’s economy, now is not the time to ignore health care costs.”
