Adriano Espaillat, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 13th district, shared several updates on December 13, 2024, via social media. These updates covered topics ranging from legislative anniversaries to local community concerns and economic opportunities.
In his first post of the day, Espaillat commemorated a significant legislative milestone: "Hoy se conmemora el segundo aniversario de la firma de la Ley de Respeto por el Matrimonio. Esta ley consagró la justicia, la dignidad y el respeto para todos los estadounidenses, sin importar a quién amen." This tweet highlights the importance of the Respect for Marriage Act in ensuring equality and respect for all Americans.
Espaillat then addressed ongoing community issues in Harlem with another post: "Durante años he expresado mi preocupación por la sobresaturación de las clínicas de opioides en Harlem y el impacto que esto tiene en mis constituyentes y en nuestro vecindario, y estoy orgulloso de trabajar con @GovKathyHochul para abordar estas preocupaciones." He expressed gratitude towards those involved in tackling these challenges.
Lastly, Espaillat discussed potential benefits for his community stemming from recent legislation: "Nuestra comunidad está en condiciones de beneficiarse enormemente de las disposiciones económicas de la Ley CHIPS." The congressman emphasized how funding for STEM programs at minority-serving institutions could significantly aid historically underserved youth.
