Adriano Espaillat, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 13th district, recently shared updates through social media on events and activities celebrating Dominican heritage and culture. Espaillat, who has served in Congress since 2017 after succeeding Charles Rangel, has been active in engaging with his constituents and promoting cultural pride.

On January 26, 2025, Espaillat posted about participating in local celebrations. He stated: "Acompañando a amigos y familiares en todo el distrito congresual 13 de Nueva York para celebrar nuestra herencia dominicana, nuestra cultura y nuestro orgullo."

Later that day, he announced an upcoming event featuring U.S. Representative Lori Trahan. In his post at 18:26 UTC, he expressed excitement about Trahan's participation: "CONFIRMED: We are so excited that the Honorable U.S. Representative Lori Trahan will be joining us at this year's Dominicans on the Hill." The message encouraged registration for the event.

In a subsequent post at 20:55 UTC, Espaillat reiterated this announcement in Spanish to reach a broader audience within his constituency: "CONFIRMADO: Estamos muy emocionados de que la Honorable representante de EE. UU. Lori Trahan se una a nosotros en el evento Dominicanos en el Capitolio de este año." He again urged people not to miss the opportunity to see Rep. Trahan and other distinguished guests.
