Adriano Espaillat, a U.S. Congressman representing New York's 13th district, recently shared his thoughts and activities through a series of tweets. These posts address pressing issues in his district and highlight his engagement with the community.

On December 11, 2024, Espaillat tweeted about the impact of untraceable firearms in his district: "Every day, untraceable 'ghost guns' claim the lives of Black and Brown youth in my district, leaving families devastated." He emphasized the need to strengthen regulations against ghost guns to protect communities and save lives.

Later that day, he reiterated this message in Spanish: "Todos los días, las 'armas fantasma' que no se pueden rastrear cobran la vida de jóvenes negros y latinos en mi distrito, dejando a familias devastadas." This underscores his commitment to addressing gun violence affecting minority communities.

In another tweet on December 11, 2024, Espaillat expressed appreciation for graduate students from Pontificia Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra (PUCMM): "It was a pleasure welcoming @PUCMM graduate students today in my Washington, DC office to recognize their hard work and dedication in international trade and consular management." This reflects his support for educational initiatives and international collaboration.
