Adriano Espaillat, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 13th district, has expressed his views and announcements through a series of tweets. Espaillat, who succeeded Charles Rangel in 2017, is known for his active engagement on social media to communicate with his constituents.
On December 10, 2024, Espaillat advocated for the abolition of the death penalty in a tweet. He described it as "a cruel, racist and imperfect punishment that has no place in our society" and urged President Biden to grant clemency immediately. The original post can be found here.
Later that day, he announced an update regarding an annual event via Twitter. The tweet read: "NEW DATE UPDATE: It’s that time of the year again. Join me in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, February 11, 2025 for our 7th Annual Dominicans on the Hill! You don’t want to miss it!" The announcement is accessible here.
