Democrats are in the People’s House to fight for the people — simple as that."

Later that day, Espaillat reiterated his stance in Spanish, saying "No importa el drama y la disfunción que creen el presidente electo Trump y sus partidarios republicanos en la Cámara de Representantes, los demócratas de la Cámara de Representantes seguirán concentrados en los temas en cuestión.

It’s critical to the success of our nation that every American has the right to safe and nutritious foods for themselves and their families." This underscores his advocacy for ensuring food security and nutrition for all Americans.
